There are 2 species in this water, bottle nose dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus) and long beak dolphins (Stenella Longirostris). Bottle nose dolphins physically bigger and more timid than long beak dolphins. By boating little bit more, we can watching dolphins dance in their herd. Sometimes they approach to boat just to let us know that they are friendly. This attraction can be fine at Lengkalit, Bera bay, Legundi island, Rakata island, Tabuan island, and Hiu island.
