Lovina Beach is located on the north coast of Bali, Indonesia. This beach is famous for its dolphin-watching tours. Tourists can watch dolphins jumping in the middle of the sea from a rented boat.
However, it wasn't just dolphins that were seen a tour guide and a group of tourists were surprised by a rare moment.
In a video uploaded on Friday, 5th April 2025, to social media, a boat carrying tour guides and tourists in Bali recorded the sight of whales in the waters of Lovina, Buleleng, Bali.
In the video circulating, a giant whale is seen surfacing in the middle of the ocean, not far from the tour boat carrying a group of tourists.
The phenomenon of whales appearing in Lovina's waters is quite rare.
Usually, these waters are better known as habitats for dolphins, which often appear in the morning.
The video, uploaded to the TikTok account @gordobalitours, was titled "What a lucky day for us in Lovina during swimming with dolphins activities, this beautiful big mammal just showing up."
The video was accompanied by comments such as, "Is that a humpback whale?" and "Lovina's new attraction - 'Whale Tour'
The appearance of whales in Lovina is quite rare, making this moment truly special!
Recommended Whale Watching Sites in Indonesia

Bali
One of the beaches in Bali, on the edge of North Bali, is Lovina Beach, which has several unique features not found on other beaches in Bali. On this beach, tourists can see both whales and dolphins swimming freely in the coastal waters.
According to Goodstats.id, among the many countries in the world, Indonesia is one of the special ones because it is a habitat for these rare marine mammals. Konservasi Indonesia (KI) recorded the presence of 472 whale sharks in five different locations across Indonesia.
This number is a starting point for KI to strengthen conservation efforts and develop sustainable ecotourism, while involving the community in preserving this iconic species.
