The main attraction of Kiluan Bay is dolphin sightings. Bottlenose dolphins and long-beaked dolphins are two species of dolphin that are usually spotted in Kiluan. It is advisable to wake up early in the morning to witness dolphins swimming and leaping in the bay’s waters. This is an opportunity to get up-close to these unique and smart creatures in their natural habitat, providing an unforgettable experience.
Apart from dolphin watching, there are also other activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and exploring nearby islands such as Pulau Kelapa. Tourists can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, relax on the beach, and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
In this project, we took a group of ITB students to Kiluan on their semester break. We gathered up at the meeting point in Sarinah, Jakarta by Friday night around 10 P.M. Then we drove to Bandar Lampung during the night and arrived the next day by 7 A.M. We had Soto for breakfast and continued our journey to Kiluan Bay. By the afternoon we arrived in Kiluan and took the tourists to stroll the area. We also visited Pura built by Balinese people. In the night, tourists were having fun and had seafood barbeque. On Sunday, we went dolphin sightseeing early in the morning after breakfast. By 8 A.M we played on the beach and went snorkeling in Pulau Kelapa.
We went back to the cottage at 12.30 P.M, had lunch, and rest. After recharging our energy, we checked out in the afternoon and reached Bandar Lampung by 8 P.M. Then we went shopping for gifts and had dinner at Sop Janda. We continued driving and reached Bakauheni by midnight. Finally, we arrived at Merak harbor by 6 A.M and reached Jakarta (Sarinah) by 8 A.M.
