What an amazing experience!! we have just returned from Bali and tok our children aged 12 & 10, it was something we will never forget! The Dolphins are so well trained and we all felt completely safe with the Dolphin (Pluto). The Dolphins are well looked after and I love the fact they are in their own environment. DO IT! you will not regret it. Regards Rebecca

I swam with one of the dolphins, Rick, in October 2009 and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Not being the adventurous type scuba diving and even snorkelling didnt really appeal to me but this experience was fantastic. You are so close and the dolphin was so gentle, I couldnt stop cuddling it. They are such amazing clever animals. The whole experience is something I didnt stop talking about for a long time. The trainer was amazing too and told us all about the dolphin and you could tell he loved his job - who wouldnt! Totally recommend it for both adults and children, although my children were a little intimidated my 9 year old did enjoy it, my 5 year old sat on the steps and still patted and got to through the ring and pebbles for the dolphin to fetch. LOVED IT!!!!

I swam with the dolphins in october 2009. I will never forget this moment. The trainers are amazing and care for the dolphins like they are their own children. The dolphins enclosure mimics their real life habitat. It is amazing how close and personal you can be with the dolphins. If you have never done this tour before i highly recommend bali dolphin lodge to provide the amazing experience. The animals are kept in healthly and friendly enviroments and are able to socialise with other dolphins. The dolphins are very friendly and will ensure your tour is one not to forget.
Kind regards,
