DOLPHIN ENCOUNTOURS
Ocean Adventures / Safaris
in Ponta Do Ouro
Mozambique, Africa
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 Mision:
- 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.
