Hunting Dolphins In The Wild

Surely many of us who 've seen dolphins , either at the zoo , aquarium , or even of documentary films . but I 'm sure not many people see dolphins darting and dancing in the sea off their original habitat . see dolphins swimming alongside your boat carefree and they close beside our boat is a very pleasant experience and will never be forgotten .

This time I will share where we can find a Spot in Indonesia can see instantly The dolphins in their natural habitat , there are several locations in Indonesia, which we could easily see hundreds and even thousands of dolphins next to our boat . Do not be surprised dolphins suddenly appeared beside the boat.for who wanna see the dolphins can directly visit Kiluan Bay of Lampung , yes here , if we're lucky we could see thousands of The dolphins dancing and wild-free .

The Gulf of Kiluan

To go to the Bay of Jakarta Kiluan we have to pass the road trip , the distance to Kiluan of Bandar Lampung takes 4 times as impassable terrain is quite damaged . able to stay there on the island or on the mainland Kiluan, Kiluan bay . I strongly recommend to stay in the Gulf Kiluannya because Kiluan Island accommodation is very poor and uncomfortable . to be able to see these dolphins should be an early morning departure by boat Ketinting at 6 am , and the long journey to the middle of the sea around 1hour . well if it is ready prepared for sea ketengah can surprise anyone knows dolphin swimming dolphin appears beside your long-tail boat .

To be able to see dolphins in the Gulf of Kiluan , we have to leave early in the morning .The herd of wild dolphins under the sea free diving coupled with a white sandy beach with clear blue sky background is Kiluan Bay 's main Destinations representing full of natural beauty Kiluan Bay . Kiluan Gulf function as a migration path from the two types of dolphins , the dolphins bottle - nose and Spinner dolphins . The number of dolphins is very amazing because Kiluan through the Gulf is expected to reach thousands , one of the greatest amount of migration of dolphins in the world . and around the Gulf Coast Kiluan also two species of sea turtle nesting site , which is green and hawksbill turtles .

The dolphins jump and dance on the water , very rare sight for sore eyes . The Gulf of Kiluan have two types of dolphins dolphins , and sometimes they are easier to find because there are many of them. Dolphins are also creatures who love to play and they were happy to approach the ship , call and say hello to the guests who have come to friendly . The Kiluan Bay we could see the dolphins using a long-tail boat , boat market is relatively small and only fit a maximum of 4 people. advised to bring a raincoat if it suddenly rains when we sail .

Enjoy the moment with dolphins is a very pleasant experience . Although the number of dolphins in the Gulf Kiluan still very much , but often also a friend of a friend who came here they have not been fortunate enough to meet with The dolphins . yes indeed no one can be sure here will surely meet dolphins . My suggestion Stay 2 nights here , if today could not possibly meet the next day we could meet with them again . Do dolphin dolphins enjoy survived in the wild . 

Lovina Beach

The dolphins was greeted Travelers who arrive in Bali Lovina Beach . Bali Lovina Beach can be regarded as his home The dolphins , because it is an opportunity here for us to meet dolphins in the wild Nature is still very large . different from Lampung Kiluan Bay we were lucky to meet with their profits .

Dawn opportunities when we go to meet the larger dolphins . Famous beaches located in the north of the island of Bali , the characters here is slightly different sand beach coast bali other woods because his black sand . In addition it is very well known in this Lovina Beach is every morning we could see a bunch of Fish Dolphin - Dolphins are playing on the beach , to see dolphins dolphin we can hire a fishing boat that can be ordered in a hotel room or directly to the fishermen . Do not forget to bring a telephoto lens and wide , because it could have dolphin dolphins suddenly appeared beside you .The second spot Kiluan Bay and Bali Lovina Beach is a well-known spot we could find The dolphins, actually there are many spots spots in Indonesia, which we easily find dolphins . but constrained by akomdasi and transportation to the venue is still difficult . from most locations watch wild dolphins at both of these centers can be accessed . 

Some tips for photographing The dolphins. 
1 . If there is a Tele lens do not forget to carry, because they often appear dolphins away from our position . 
2 . When visiting the destinations above do not just one day , but Stay 2 days . such that if the first day we can not we can have more time the next day . usually on the second day we could get a dolphin . 
3 . His name is also a wild dolphin , there is no guarantee we could see dolphins due to changes in habitat and nature . chance we could see the remains of 50-50 and a lot of praying yes

The Gulf of Kiluan

Kiluan Bay beach is dazzling, white sandy beaches with clear blue sky background is a destination that represents a complete natural beauty of the Gulf Kiluan. Kiluan Bay is located in the Village Kiluan Tanggamus in Lampung, South Sumatra. 10 years ago access to the location is very hard and truly broken, even though it is still broken but access to this location is drivable vehicles and never once using a sedan here.

 Kiluan best to visit the Gulf during the dry season, because if bad road conditions during heavy rainfall can hamper your trip. broken terrain and soil to make roads become slippery, so that could endanger tourists who want to get there. generally the dry season in the Gulf Kiluan is usually from April to September, and as the weather changes frequently. poor roads Kiluan Gulf turns into a sensation by bringing a touring motorcycle enthusiasts, Motorcycle Trail community may be especially fun for touring this Kiluan Bay. 


Arriving in the Gulf Kiluan we can comb the beach, along the coast of the bay we could see the activity of the local community. boat boat parked at the edge of the bay adds to the beauty of this bay was nice, waiting for sunset on the bay Kiluan this is what I recommend, because we can see clearly with the background Sunset Island Kiluan clearly here. for the first time here, I recommend to stay in a homestay or lodge around the Gulf Kiluan alone.   

Actually we could stay on the island Kiluan, but I do not recommend, because the island is very limited infrastructure, access to clean water was also lacking. indeed Kiluan Bay accommodation is still limited, because I came here in 2013 the end of the course electricity is also new to the area and stay there is also no air conditioning. 

Long and tiring journey it paid off when we get this Kiluan Bay, within 3-4 hours from the city of Bandar Lampung lost already tired when we come and enjoy the beauty of the Gulf Kiluan. what the hell actually existing tourist attraction in the Gulf Kiluan, I will discuss some of the attractions in the Gulf Kiluan that you must visit. 

Probably not many know Pegadung Coral Coast that was around this Kiluan Bay. Even Lampung itself has not much to know. to be able to come here through two access. the first access of the sea, now of the sea we could enjoy the beach with large coral reefs of the ocean but unfortunately we could not pull over because along the beach is full of coral. and the second is the access road from the Gulf Kiluan wearing motorcycle, this could be a long road trip 2 hours away and I do not suggest by road if the weather is rainy or depleted rain again. 

Pegadung Coral Beach also known as Batu Layar or shark teeth. Named like shark teeth because there rocks resembles a shark tooth. engga one heck yeah if I say this beach as one of the best spots in the Gulf Kiluan. You know why it is called the Stone Temple, because the reef which is located at one of the beaches in the Gulf Kiluan if observed closely similar to the temple. sculpture so perfectly natural coral and rocks as if this will look like a temple. for access to the sea here seems to be over, because the access road did not exist. and the location is close to Stone Temple Island Kiluan anyway. 

Well the main destinations in the Gulf Kiluan yes Kiluan island itself, but why yes i really less comfortable with this Kiluan Island. because the island is quite dirty, the accommodation is very less, just me there are many visitors who neglected because it is not managed well by the manager of the island. but for snorklingan can really here, and can also play around water. but since this is the main destination jg yes I write here, hehe.

Kiluan Bay is where in addition to a place to stay but we can enjoy the beauty of the surrounding bay, objects that we can enjoy here is the wooden shipbuilding community Kiluan Bay, enjoying the rising sunrise and sunset waiting. If there is time we can comb through the bay and interact with the environment. and the last and the most excited is watching the dolphins that live freely in the wild is of course the main attraction of the Gulf Kiluan. because in this Kiluan Bay is the place to migrate the wild Dolphins, Dolphins to be able to watch the wild we can rent a small boat for 250000-300000 dollars, with the boat we set off at a time when the sea at dawn and headed to the middle so that you can get a closer look dozens or sometimes even hundreds of dolphins jumping in the ocean waters off this. Dolphins are highly intelligent species they are also very friendly. when Seeing a passing boat, sometimes they like to swim and jump around in the surrounding waters near and sometimes near us.

Way Kambas National Park

Way Kambas National Park which is the oldest national park in Indonesia, the National Park is located at the southern tip of Sumatra, 110 km from Bandar, Way Kambas National Park (TNWK) was one of the first and oldest national park in Indonesia. This national park occupies 1,300 square miles of coastal lowland forest around Way Kambas River on the east coast of the province of Lampung. TNWK known for elephant conservation, because in addition to being a refuge for Sumatran elephants, the park is also known for their practice.


Way Kambas founded by the Dutch government in 1937 is still preserved as a National Park, and here is believed there are about 200 Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranensis) live in the National Park. Sumatran elephant is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian Elephant, which is native of the island of Sumatra. differences in general, Asian elephants are smaller than African. Among Asian elephants Sumatran elephant is the smallest, with a shoulder height ranges between 2 meters and 3.2 meters (6.6 feet to 10.5 ft). but is currently very difficult to estimate their numbers because of encroachment and expansion of forest land increasingly out of control.


The establishment of the National Park was originally intended to protect the existence of elephants and at the same time create mutual benefit for both elephants and humans. The training center is also reminiscent of the time of kings or sultans ruled Sumatra, when the elephants are trained and deployed in the war and also for ceremonial purposes. and elephants perform various tasks such as hauling wood or plowing fields. but now in Way Kambas National Park visitors can see elephants doing activities such as playing soccer or other entertaining performances. The National Park is also a special elephant stands Hospital the largest in Asia.

Sonneratia sp), palm (Nypa fruticans), Gelam (Melaleuca Leucadendron), salam (Syzygium polyanthum), Rawang (Glochidion borneensis), ketapan (Terminalia cattapa), casuarina (Casuarina equisetifolia), pandan (Pandanus sp), puspa (Schima wallichii), meranti (Shorea sp), oil (Dipterocarpus gracilis) and ramin (Gonystylus bancanus).


Permission to enter TNWK can be obtained at the gate. besides coming directly can also be obtained from the conservation HQ in Dublin.

Located in a spacious walled garden filled with tropical fruit trees, it offers four cottages each with spacious rooms that can accommodate up to four people with spring beds, ceiling fan, hot shower and western style toilet . All guest cottages, facilities, some perimeter lighting and office are powered by renewable solar energy. In a delightful open-air restaurant, authentic Indonesian food served, with a full western breakfast to start the day. If you are traveling with children, the local village children would love to have a football game in the afternoon in the field of eco lodge.


Way Kambas National Park to be ditembuh 2 hours by road from Bandar Lampung, the road here is quite good and if you bring a private car can be less than 2 hours. If you use public transportation, the simplest route is to take a bus from Terminal diBandar Rajabasa in Lampung Way Jepara direction. then down at the stone elephant in the village of Old Rajabasa, Way Jepara. and continued by "motorcycle taxi" or motorcycle to the Right Way or the Elephant Training Centre (ETC) which is the entrance to TNWK.
