After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, we decided to book with Made for a dolphin watching cruise and must say the reviews were all pretty accurate.
Made has the best boat for this activity and is priced very reasonably especially when you consider the safety gear and quality of his boat “the beautiful fish.”
We were very fortunate to have perfect weather on the day of our trip and can only say we had a fantastic experience that far exceeded our expectations.
I had read many stories about the boat operators chasing and scaring the dolphins so were unsure whether or not I should go but after seeing for myself can only say this couldn’t be further from the truth.
All the operators seemed very respectful of the dolphins.
These are highly intelligent creatures and the water is 40 to 60 meters deep so if they felt threatened or weren’t interested they simply swam below and disappeared. However most of the pods we encountered seemed to want to interact and put on a show for us.
Made also had snorkelling equipment which you could use while you were swimming alongside the boat.
The dolphins are very inquisitive and swim around and below you, a breathtaking experience.
We were lucky enough to see so many different pods of dolphins that were too numerous to count.
I highly recommend this tour and cannot thank Made enough for his wonderful hospitality. 👍👍👍👍👍

Every positive review is true! Only have to add that there were a lot of jellyfishes in the water, but don't be afraid, they don't harm you, even the big orange ones are totally harmless, don't let them steal your time in the water. I googled it and it's save.

Last week I went on this tour with Made and it exceeded all my expectations. I was a little skeptical as I didn't want to chase the dolphins with 50 boats or cut them off, but Made's tour is so respectful towards the dolphins.

You leave later than most of the other boats so you won't be there with all the others boats. We saw quite some boats chasing dolphins fanatically, but Made keeps proper distance and doesn't chase them and cut them off like others. He looked for another spot without any other boat and we were surrounded by more than 30 dolphins!

You can hang next to the boat and snorkel so you can see the dolphins underwater from close and because Made is so respectful and no other boats are there, dolphins even come towards the boat, swim along the boat and stay around.

Made also stays as long as you want and really takes his time. Amazing tour and host!!

What a great and respectful way to see dolphins! The owner, Made, has been on the water for more then 30 years and knows his way around :)

Most of the tours start at 6am, which means you are on the water with about 30-60 other boats, chasing dolphins.

With Made you go a bot later (around 7am) but you stay on the water for about 3hrs, which means that it is not as busy and you can enjoy the ‘show’ of dolphins jumping around you without chasing them.

Great experience that i would recommend to anyone!

We went with two persons and have payed a bit more money, but it was definitely worth it. Made has a great boat and takes into account that the dolphins don’t like to be chased. Made respects the dolphins and in the end we have seen a lot of them.

When the other boats are returning, Made stays on the water for a bit longer.

Terima Kasih Made!

We started a little later than the big groups which meant that at the end we were there with 3 boats enjoying the dolphins. We have been a bit at the back at first waiting for the right moment to slowly approach the dolphins and follow them gently in stead of chasing them. With what a result! Dolphins everywhere and we all really enjoyed it. Also the snorkeling near the dolphins was great. We have been there for the whole morning and the kids (4 and 7) loved it as much as we did. We had a perfect bonus lunch at his eating: a perfect morning to remember.

Yes, it is worth the money!

We spent our Saturday morning with 9 girls with Beautifull Fish Lovina. Our boat driver was very nice and picked us up from our Hotel on time. During the Dolphin spotting he was very careful with the animals. And the best thing: WE SAW A WHALE!!! This because the boat driver spotted the animal form very very far and we where the only boat there. The 'swimming' with the Dolphins was the best experience I ever had!
Thank you so much for this day!

This guys is great. Contacted him through Whatsapp the day before and we could arrange what we wanted. He picked us up the following day at the hotel and took us to 3 spots for snorkeling. It’s was great. All in one he offered us what he promised and we were very satisfied.

Beautiful Fish Lovina is the place to be for a wonderful, though sustainable, dolphin experience. Made will give you a morning never to forget. We’ve seen over a hundred dolphins without chasing them. Made has invested in a new, great boat that is very comfortable. This boat allows him to leave a bit later in the morning when most other boats are already returning, while he can spend more time further on sea. Made will do anything to make you feel comfy and gives you all time you want to enjoy the dolphins and snorkel around them. We truly recommend to use Made’s services if you want to see dolphins on an eco-friendly way!
