NOTE: OUR TOURS ARE ONLY ON DATES LISTED, NOT YEAR AROUND.
THE DATES FOR THIS TRIP ARE COMING SOON: JULY 2010
During our time with the dolphins we’ll have the opportunity to open our hearts and practice unconditional love and acceptance, for these marvelous creatures, ourselves and each other. Although they do not speak our language, dolphins are natural empaths who respond to the emotions we radiate and the judgmental thoughts or clarity of mind we possess.
These are wild dolphins and when we approach their pods they make the choice to come and join, swim and connect with us. Connecting with their wondrous spirits can be a profoundly moving, deeply healing and life altering experience. Their immense peace, joy and playfulness will touch your heart and awaken your spirit to the magic of your own magnificence.
This is a very profound and heartfelt trip – meant to encourage you to merge with the dolphins and spark your playful spirit in a safe and loving atmosphere. There’ll be plenty of time for swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling the reefs, meditating, group class, group discussion, swimming, journaling, resting, and sharing. Join for this magical adventure!
**Please note that this is a spiritual journey for adults and is a group journey with a minimum of 6 people. There will be no children unless you book your own private tour.**
Tour Itinerary:
Days 0-1: For those of us that do not live in Ft Lauderdale, we’ll be meeting at the Comfort Inn near the airport and gathering in the evening to meet and greet each other! Meet the group at the Ft Lauderdale Airport for our morning flight to Bimini (approximately 10:00am). Most of us will have arrived in Ft Lauderdale the day before. After our flights we arrive at our wonderful 91 foot boat where we will be spending the next five days together. We’ll have our first meeting to get to know dolphin protocol so that we can interact lovingly with our dolphin companions. Then we’ll don our suits for our first day on the boat and meeting with the dolphins. Each day we will have time together for sharing, meditation, and class to discuss the challenges in our lives. Includes: (D).
Days 2-5: We spend the next four days exploring and playing off our boat with the dolphins and snorkeling. Living on the boat gives us an advantage over living ashore. While others are waiting on shore to go out later, we can be sitting on deck with our morning tea or coffee while a pod of bottle-nose dolphins swims by feeding with their young. Quite often we have swum with dolphins before the land based groups have come out for their allotted time. Our time with these wild dolphins is a gift from them and will evolve as they wish. This is an ecologically sensitive program that allows us to observe, interact with, and swim with these beautiful beings.
No trip to Bimini would be complete without snorkeling over the “Mysterious Bimini Road”! A quarter-mile off Paradise Point lays an ancient, underwater road of stones that has baffled natives, mystics and scientists for generations. Some call it the Bimini Road or the Atlantis Wall and believe it may lead to the lost continent of Atlantis. It is quite a mystical experience and many say they can feel the energy that emanates from these huge underwater stones. The famed Bimini Wall, less than a quarter mile offshore, drops from 145 feet to over 3,000 feet in only a few yards. In fact, around the island there are wrecks as shallow as 20 feet and as deep as 100 feet. The photo and video opportunities are absolutely outstanding.
All in all, it can be pretty awesome being anchored off a beautiful beach in the evening, under a star filled sky, listening to the sound of dolphins blowing around the boat. We spend the best nights on the dolphin grounds – and when the weather is not perfect we have the best marina on the island with all the land conveniences that you might wish. Tuesday night is our night ashore to eat at a Bahamian restaurant and dance to Calypso music if the spirit moves us. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 6: We leave Bimini around 10:00am for our flight to Ft Lauderdale and our connecting flights home renewed and with a change of heart. New friends have been made and old friendships made stronger. We look forward to the challenge of bringing our clarity, peace and centeredness home with us! Includes: (B).
