The dolphins in Kiluan Bay, Bandar Lampung

Kiluan Bay is one of the beautiful sight in Bandar Lampung, Sumatera. It has attracted the traveller attention with its gorgeous dolphins, which is familiar for us if we go to Ancol, Jakarta. But, don't worry, Kiluan Bay has many more dolphins (uncountable in the seas off). 
Last week, 5-8 April 2012, I went to Kiluan Bay with 12 others. It was our back-up plan after we weren't possible to go to Jogjakarta, since we missed the train ticket. we decided to go to Yogya. Yeah, this was our back up plan destination, KILUAN BAY!!!

21.30 We converged together at Apri's house as we agreed before. But one of our friend (Adit) was so late. We waited him until almost 2 hours. 
Finally, 23.10 we rode angkot to Pulo Gadung Terminal
23.50 Pulo Gadung, we rode the bus (Pulo Gadung - Merak) for about 2,5 hours

In front of Menara Siger

5.30 We arrived at Port of Bakauheni

6.15 We met the rental car driver that we booked before. Car rental was really costly. We had to pay more than 1,8 million (return). In the  middle of our journey to Kiluan Bay, we stopped by at gas station where sell (nasi uduk) for having our breakfast

12.00 We arrived in Kiluan Bay. Booked the lodging (it costed about Rp. 450.000) for one house include 2 rooms per day

Unfortunately we missed White Sand Beach (Pantai Pasir Putih). We didn't go there because one of our friend came after by plane, so some of my friends had to picked him up, then we didn't have much time to go without them. Yeaaaaah too bad, we skipped the White Sand Beach :(

Before the sunset came

Beautiful sunset

It's about 7.00 we were on jukung (special boat to see the dolphins). It was 2 hours to be at the dolphins spot. 

Ready to see the dolphins

We were very close to the dolphins :D

After enjoying the dolphins, we went to Laguna. Unfortunately, we went to the wrong spot of Laguna, completely dirty. Still, not too far from there, we could see the best beach there, the beautiful Laguna (since, the best spot of Laguna was beside us). I really wanted to go there, but I was defeated by my bad mood. At that time, one of our four jukungs had accident. It was sank and flipped over. The worst thing ever, I lost my brother's handycam. Poor me :( The time goes by and I believe that there must be a blessing behind the accident :D

Yeah, finally about 10 am we went back to our lodging house. Actually we could have gone around Kiluan until satisfied, but again and again there was misunderstanding with the rental car driver, we had to leave Kiluan Bay at 12.00. We were out of time to stay longer. The worst thing was we haven't visited Clara Beach, Mutun Beach, or even White Sand Beach. Nevertheless, we had no time to argue with them, or we had to pay the fine Rp.100.000,- for every an hour late :(

We took the some photos before leaving Kiluan Bay. It was in front of our lodging house.

We stopped by at Clara Beach in about last minute we were leaving. 

19.00 We were on shopboard to Merak














































Good bye Kiluan Bay! Good bye Bandar Lampung! See you very soon!
