Dolphin Play the Yoga Way
"Dolphin Play the Yoga Way" .. a highlight of a lifetime!
Spend 8 glorious days re-creating & re-energising yourself with like-minded others
Swim with the friendly spinner dolphins & turtles Absorb the stunning scenery & pristine environment Experience the power & majesty of an active volcano Energise with Yogalates & daily health practices Feast on delicious gourmet organic cuisine Enjoy Hawaiin culture & creative activities Attend a traditional luau & performance Share ritual, ceremony & music Relax, unwind and be pampered
The dates have been carefully selected according to the lunar cycle in the quiet season with ideal temperatures, creating the optimum conditions to swim with the dolphins.
We will spend 4-5 mornings snorkeling with the dolphins and turtles. You will be escorted by locals and you can always rest in one of the kayaks if you need a break.
Snorkeling with the dolphins in the brilliant, clear blue waters is such an exciting and uplifting experience. At times, the dolphin pods swim right underneath or pass beside you on cruise-control. They can also get really playful and swim cheekily around you, jumping out of the water. Sometimes a couple of them may slow down, swimming with you and make eye contact. Every encounter is so unique!
Every day there will be a blend of Yogalates, pranayama and meditation practices to choose from.
You have the option to join us in the various activities provided or just take time out to relax. We can organise a massage, beauty or bodywork session for you.
Our skilled & devoted team create the environment to support your individual needs.
An exhilarating journey that will remain in your heart forever!
