Early Morning with the Pods
A dolphin tour off Pemuteran’s north coast takes you out onto calm, pre-dawn waters to watch wild spinner and bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. As the sun rises behind the rugged northern hills, local fishermen guide you to the areas where pods regularly hunt and breach. Without the heavy crowds of Lovina to the east, Pemuteran offers a much quieter, more intimate encounter with the sea’s most charismatic mammals.
