A journey of discovery awaits you. Educate yourself,
enlighten your life and evolve as you come into contact with the
resident dolphins of Southern Mozambique, on their terms. No feeding,
no harassment. Just you and the dolphins, face to face in the big
blue!
Our Mission:
· Ensure our motto "for the love of dolphins"
is incorporated into everything we do.
· Create a sustainable world for marine mammals through education,
research and conservation.
· Operate in integrity and strive towards creating a safe
environment in which inter-species relationships can be explored.
· Facilitate a dolphin swim program that is profoundly educational
and beneficial to being human.
Dolphin Encountours initiated Africa's first dolphin swim program
in 1996 after a two year trial period in Ponta do Ouro, Southern
Mozambique. During this period co-founder's embarked on establishing
Africa's first Dolphin Swim and Research Center. A strict code of
conduct was developed based on advise and guidelines from international
and local marine mammal experts, resulting in a program that allows
close interactions on the dolphin's terms.
A beckoning to share the wonder of dolphins with man as well as
a profound sense to protect and learn from them has developed unique
inter-species relationships, where both species seemingly benefit
from the social interactions.
Ongoing research in calibration with The Natural History Museum
in Maputo and various other institutes ensures that programs are
run with high standards, where observations are strictly monitored
and daily data is collected. Much care is taken when working with
this dolphin society as crew regard cetaceans {dolphins and whale}
as highly intelligent beings that have emotion and thus experience
joy and pain.
A number of swim programs are available for families, individuals,
the holistically minded and researchers. Special needs tours can
be arranged on request catering for the physically and mentally
challenged. All programs are based on our Dolphin Eco-Tour and include
the below:
