I have been facilitating journeys and holistic retreats to Ponta d'Oura, Mozambique, just north of the SA border at Kosi Bay since 2002. I first swam
with dolphins in Ponta d'Oura in 1998 Group packages, as well as individual and private bookings can be arranged. |

NEWSFLASH :
On Saturday
morning, 19 June 2010 in Ponta d'Oura, Mozambique, at 3am in the
morning, the camps built
by Dolphin Encounters, the Whaler and
Simply Scuba all burnt down. They have lost everything that has taken
years to build.
I'm in tears for my friends' loss
and for losing my second home where I was privileged to have spent so
many wonderful times year after year and have watched it grow and
develop since 1996. The memories
will remain forever and I wish them strength and inspiration for their
new beginnings.

Learning about
the dolphins and marine life is an
awesome experience. The adventure of
easing into their world creates an
unforgettable future memory.
Tours are run from
Johannesburg, South Africa to Ponta d'Oura, Mozambique
where we nurture our
souls and if we are lucky, play with wild dolphins in warm tropical water.

The
most blessed journey I have ever been on was in November 2002 when I was
honoured to have been accompanied by 9 special beings and their parents to Ponta
d'Oura, Mozambique. We called this journey "Dawn Rising". Read the story of that remarkable journey. The dolphin journey in October 2009 was an inner journey of much needed rest and healing to which the weather contributed by being quite rainy, cloudy and chill. My Libran friends, Candice, Stella and I all celebrated our birthdays by giving ourselves the gift of wonderful "me" time. The highlight was encountering several baby dolphins, especially one brand new born - probably born within a day or two - the cutest, cutest thing and something I had never seen before. There was also the pleasure of watching close hand a huge whale mom frolicking in the waves with her bobbing bundle doing flick flacks and somersaults around her. Then also listening to the sound of the whales' songs on the hydraphone which transmitted an incredible conversational symphony from beneath the water. This journey felt like it was a celebration of new birth and life and inspired Candice and I got to do a bit of writing to express what we were feeling which you can see here if interested. |

Stella (Oct 2009) Thanks so much for making it possible. I really needed that break, the sea therapy and the time alone, as well as the experiences with the dolphins and whales and meeting you. All very special - thank you. |

Astrid (Oct 2008) "I'm listening to the new song of The Killers and I have this overwhelming feeling of freedom and love when we played with the dolphins. Could be the tune or the lyric 'Are we Human? Or are we dancer?' but something keeps taking me back to Mozambique every time I hear this song. And yes it sure feels like a dream, but the last week I have been busy putting all the pics together and I couldn't stop smiling for days. I got back to over 3000 emails and it took me 2 days to sift through them, when I got home I went straight to my pics and felt soo much better. I am so happy that it was you that helped me realise my dream and not someone else. You made it that more special. And the group that you brought together were fabulous, I couldn't wish for any different. The camp was really beautiful and they do an AMAZING job in running the place! All the little personal touches made it feel more welcome, more comfortable and more special. Angie is truly a remarkable person, with the love she shows for the dolphins. I think we and man have a lot to learn from her. Actually, with the 2 of you together I could definitely feel a calming yet powerful presence. I take my hat off to the 2 of you for the work you do. I am sooo looking forward to the Reunion!!!! (hint...hint) I also want to show off the joyous little creatures we swam with :-) |

Connie ~
"The days spent gave me the opportunity to deepen my relationship with myself, with the divine, people and nature. The incredible sunrises, swimming with the dolphins, the bright stars at night brought me so much closer to nature - that peace - being able to reflect on so many things........ I opened to a greater sense and a deep inner knowing. The whole experience was so beautiful. I could really just be in the NOW." |

Heidi ~ “To swim with dolphins has been an unbelievable privilege and I can't wait to do this again. A truly uplifting, healing, endearing and deeply spiritual experience, the magnitude of which only becomes apparent in retrospect. A very dedicated team of extraordinary people make this experience all the more commendable - I am a better and richer person for having had this encounter !! “ |

| From Peter ~ This was my 2nd time. The first time I experienced tremendous healing in the water with the dolphins, their presence, proximity, those incredible sounds. As my ears enter the water and I hear the dolfin communication, a sense of peace, of being home blankets me and everytime I leave the water I long to return and hear again. I felt my longheld fear of water, due to near drowning, evaporating. I felt at peace, in awe - the experience became timeless and continues to bring me peace, more energy and a more fluid flow in life." |

| From Marjorie ~ "Five years ago I heard of swimming with dolphins - it became my dream and June 2004 it became my reality. Once I got beyond my fear of the water, they welcomed me, frolicked with me, These beautiful angels of the sea gave me the Miracle of Love. Touched me to the core of my being, took me to a place of peace beyond all knowingness and nothingness. Now in everyday life when I need some recharging, I have these wonderful Cellular Memories and I am right back with them in my heart" |

From Gabriella - Dolphin Journey 2005 Beautiful
Greetings Not only that, but a beautiful message of trust has been absorbed by my being, and I have finally learned what it means to have faith in the Divine. I suppose on a level I had understood this idea of handing it over, but this trip really assisted in the process of just simply trusting, with no expectations and an open heart. I had already decided I was going, even though it meant paying for the trip on my credit card, I had decided that it would just work out, considering I was going with as the masseuse, what could go wrong? Well a couple of days passed and I had not even thought about again. Funny how easily I released a dream to swIm with dolphins that I had carried in my heart for SO MANY years. So the Divine got to work, some strings were Divinely pulled and several more circumstances arose, making it clear that I was to go. So filled with trust, I paid for the trip with my credit card and just rejoiced in the beauty of surrendering to the Divine. The trip turned out to be the most Divine experience. So a bit about the dolphins, now that you have heard of the beauty and miracles in my life, SO BLESSED and SO LOVED am I.... We had 3 dolphin encounters.... that is on each morning that we had a launch. We would push the boat into the early morning sea, looking for dolphins. The first encounter I had was with a female dolphin, or what they call a nursemaid, because these clever creatures share the responsibility of tending to the young. She swam right under me. Now remember you are swimming with snorkel, goggle and flippers. The experience you have takes place under the water where it is so still and serene. She, with 2 babies close to her on either side, came under me and started swimming in a spiral with me. Apparently they like doing that, then she stopped directly under and parallel to me, about a meter down, with the babies and she gave me some time to just connect and observe their magical and awesome presence. WOW! A bit more swimming around and they were gone. You will be amazed how fast they swim. The next encounter was with a single female, which apparently is unusual. She actually swam with the whole group for quite some time. She started spiralling with me, this time real close. As we swirled, I remember been mesmerized by her beauty and her eyes which were closely looking into mine, swirling and swirling. She then swam off and I began singing bajans, through the snorkel and she was soon back, so sweet and loving and full of acknowledgement for me. This time she swam right under me and turned upside down so that our bellies faced each other - something they only do when they feel comfy with you. The connection was so strong and powerful, so awesome. Merging with this sacred being in the serenity of her waters was just splendid, so playful and magnificent. The 3rd and last encounter was from the boat, as the water was very choppy and the dolphins were not very playful. Yet it turned out to be a real memorable experience. We kinda just followed them around for a while, and were given the opportunity to just observe these incredible creatures as they went about their day, gliding through the waves, a large group of them, in all sizes, following us. Then we followed them. It was here that I was given the chance to just tune into their energy, to hear their breathwork and to feel the energy of this group was just such a treat. So now, I pray that this letter inspires you in every way,to know that everything really is possible, to trust and to really surrender and feel the presence of the Divine guiding you, so next time I go, which will be November, you will join me in being privileged to having encounters with these sacred creatures of the deep. I wrap my loving arms around you…..Thanx D....Big goddessa hugs in radiant dolphin spirals.
