Meet Amy Quinn, Retreat Visionary
Welcome! I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to join me and the dolphins for this transformative journey. My purpose is to create a loving, nurturing space for growth and adventure—where you can relax, reconnect, and rediscover joy through the wisdom of the ocean.
​
The dolphins remind us to slow down, breathe, and embrace life with patience and playfulness. Each encounter is unique, offering lessons in self-acceptance and presence. I can’t wait to share this magical experience with you and witness the discoveries that unfold in your heart.

A Transformational Journey of Connection, Healing, and Play
This women-only retreat offers a sacred escape from the noise of everyday life. Throughout the week, you’ll swim and play with wild dolphins in the crystalline waters of Bimini, known for their remarkable intelligence and healing presence.
​
Each morning begins with yoga or meditation to center your mind and body, followed by nourishing meals and days filled with beauty, laughter, and adventure at sea. This retreat is designed to awaken your spirit through nature, movement, and community, allowing you to return home renewed, inspired, and deeply aligned.
About Bimini
A Hidden Gem of the Bahamas
Just 50 miles off the coast of Florida, Bimini is a trio of islands, North, South, and East, shaped like a graceful horseshoe with a tranquil lagoon at its center. Known for its turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and welcoming island energy, Bimini carries an ancient legend: it’s said to be the site of the lost City of Atlantis.
​
This small yet vibrant island is rich in culture, music, and natural wonder. You’ll explore coral reefs, dance to reggae rhythms, and bask in the warmth of the Caribbean sun. Between dolphin swims and gentle ocean breezes, Bimini becomes more than a destination, it becomes a mirror for your own transformation.
Accommodations
Your Island Sanctuary at WildQuest
We will be staying at the cozy Wild Quest retreat center, which sits bay-side, in the friendly, Caribbean ‘funky’ fishing village of Porgy Bay, North Bimini. Stunning beaches are just a minute’s walk away. The retreat center is light, airy, and spacious, offering the perfect spot to relax and chill out after a day on the ocean.
Enjoy a comfortably functional environment (rather than luxurious) stay, suited to the laid-back vibe of the island.

Cuisine
Nourishment for Body and Soul
Each day, enjoy vibrant, healthy meals crafted with love and intention. The cuisine is primarily organic and caters to all dietary needs, with plant-based, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options available. Meals are served overlooking the garden and bay, creating a peaceful setting to nourish your body after time in the water.
​
Communal dining offers moments of togetherness—sharing stories, laughter, and connection. One evening, we’ll dine out at a local Caribbean restaurant to experience authentic island flavors, music, and culture (not included in the retreat price).
Activities
Dive into Joy, Presence, and Discovery
Each morning begins with yoga or meditation to align body and spirit before breakfast and a day at sea. We’ll pack picnic lunches and embark on our catamaran, setting sail to swim alongside wild dolphins, often a life-changing encounter filled with awe and joy.
​
You’ll also visit the mystical Atlantic Stones, snorkel vibrant coral reefs, and explore the diverse underwater world of Bimini. Every activity is optional, this is your journey. Choose stillness or adventure, rest or play. Individual massages and a sacred plant medicine ceremony will also be available for those called to deeper healing experiences.

There are some experiences in life that touch your soul so deeply that words hardly feel big enough to describe them — this dolphin retreat was one of those experiences.
From the very beginning, Amy and Malia created a space filled with warmth, peace, compassion, and genuine love. Every moment felt intentional and heartfelt, allowing all of us to fully open our hearts, connect with nature, and simply be present.
The experience with the dolphins was beyond magical — it felt spiritual, healing, and profoundly moving. Being surrounded by the ocean, the energy of the dolphins, and such beautiful souls created memories and emotions I will carry with me forever.
