If you're very lucky, you'll see hundreds of these tiny black dolphins leaping and playing, many times over ; if you're unlucky, you'll see nothing! For my case, i saw 2 dolphins, but they swam too fast till i was unable to snap the best photo of them. 
We're back to the island at around 8.30am. No luck! I believe most of them came back with disappointment. I' m a positive minded person. Even though without seeing the dolphins but i still enjoyed the early morning boat ride at the calm blue sea. 
There is a huge statue outside the hotel. I guess, it's the biggest in North Bali.
