Hawaii Wild Dolphin Wellness Retreat
Join us for a once in a lifetime four-night, five-day wild dolphin retreat on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Our group will wake up each morning to a delicious breakfast at the resort before heading out to a thrilling boat ride where you will soak up the sights and the warm sun of the Kona Coast. Our group will learn about the residential spinner, bottlenose, and spotted dolphins, their behaviors and social/family systems. We will meet up with the residential spinner dolphins and other species if we’re lucky! Then we will then put on our snorkel gear and get into the water, take our time, breathe, and be amazed with these gentle giants. We will be with the dolphins as long as they want to hang out with us and this is where the magic happens! We also may be lucky enough to see some whales! Through the months of December-March we will a get the chance to see the majestic Humpback whales who come to Hawaii to give birth. After our trips out in the morning we will have lunch and and relax by the water sharing reflections of our experiences.
