Dolphin Delight Retreats

Angie Gullan was born to be with and delight with dolphins, and I have been privileged to be in the water and watch her interact with these magnificent animals. Swimming with the dolphins in Ponta do Ouro is one of the most heart-opening experiences you will ever have. They invite you in. Angie conducts the swims in the most reverent manner and never ever invades their space or chases them. That is why I say it is a privilege to be invited to get into the water with them. She monitors and researches them daily…..and we get to go along for the experience!

Next dolphin trip is planned for November 2018. Please contact Tania on taniab@celebratingfreedom.co.za if you are interested in going.

The Dolphin Delight retreat is structured as follows:

Daily meditation/contemplation time (optional)

3 Dolphin “surfaris” into the bay with interactive dolphin swims (remember, these are wild animals and interactions are at their discretion)
Plenty of free time to walk the long beach, sit quietly and journal, swim, climb to the lighthouse, enjoy cocktails or just have fun under an African sun!
