Dolphin Delight Retreats
Angie Gullan was born to be a protector and champion of the dolphins. She has been closely involved with them in Ponta Do Ouro for over 30 years and I have had the great privilege of being in the water watching her interact with these magnificent animals for 15 years now.
Snorkelling 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. It is a conscious and respectful interaction. 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!
My next Dolphin Delight retreat is planned for May 2027. Please contact Tania on taniab@celebratingfreedom.co.za if you are interested in joining.
