- High Nature Connection

Spend some time in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean experiencing once-in-a-lifetime moments with wild common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, and occasionally even Risso's dolphins that may welcome you to their vast and blue home.
Be advised that swimming with dolphins frequently causes changes in awareness in the participants. Be prepared to feel happiness, ecstatic delight, emotional release, profound relaxation, and mindfulness. It is said that because dolphins see the world as a whole, they will accept you as a member of it. This is a great chance to meet the dolphins and learn more about them.
