“This adventure is an encounter with oneself and with inner happiness, because meeting dolphins opens the door to our hearts and to essential communication.”
Karin Estoppey
The spirit of our cruises
We offer you a cruise to swim in harmony with wild dolphins. Through our supervision, we place particular emphasis on a respectful approach to dolphins which enables us to foster beautiful encounters and discover the energetic communication of their unconditional love. We offer quality teaching that will enable you to meet dolphins in optimal natural conditions.
Light and kindness. Because we complement each other and have the same ideas about ethics and support for people, Hassan and Karin are committed to respecting each person’s individuality.
Our aim is to listen to each participant’s specific needs and offer them a wonderful cruise that will enable them to experience a week of true happiness and rediscover their childhood joy.
The swimming technique consists of simple equipment: mask, snorkel and fins. This technique is ideal for approaching dolphins, so we feel as free as they do. This is not a diving cruise.
During your stay, if you wish, you’ll also have the opportunity to discover basic freediving techniques that will enable you to descend easily to several meters.
“The discovery of the underwater world and the encounter with wild dolphins and their unconditional love changed my life. Today, I want to share this extraordinary experience of communication through the senses and the intense happiness offered by the presence and energy of wild dolphins. “
The main activity of the cruise is swimming to meet the dolphins and discovering the fish and coral of the lagoon. No outing is compulsory, however, and everyone can organize their day according to their own wishes and well-being.
Cast off, take off your shoes for 6 days, far from mass tourism, and let yourself live to the rhythm of the sun, the dolphins and the meals.
Cruise aboard a comfortable boat and drop anchor in the dolphin lagoon.
As soon as you arrive at the airport, you’ll be transferred directly to the boat, where you can take off your shoes for your entire stay.
This peaceful lagoon is a 3-hour sail from our departure port. With a depth of approx. 15 meters, with water at around 28° (30° in autumn), it feels like swimming in a crystal-clear pool.
The lagoon is protected from the waves by the coral reef, which is why this colony of around 100 dolphins comes here to play and rest during the day.
Dolphins often swim close to the boat, as if looking for us. When this isn’t the case, our zodiac takes us across the lagoon close to groups of dolphins, so that we can get in the water and swim with them.
During the week, depending on the program, we will also offer you the following activities:
– Scuba diving
– Discover the coral reefs and their multicolored fish
– Swim to meet turtles or rays
– Dolphin presentation
– Films and reports
– Evening on a deserted island (according to program opportunities)
We also have a classical guitar, an electronic piano and even a didgeridoo.
Providing the means to express your joy… that’s what DolphinLagoon is all about!
With the boat at anchor for the entire stay in the lagoon, nights are spent aboard the boat, in the middle of the sea, protected by the lagoon. They bring us serenity and a wonderful feeling of being alone in paradise. It’s a marvellous opportunity for stargazing, as there’s no light around us to disturb this magnificent vision. It’s perfectly possible to sleep under the stars, on the boat’s upper deck.
The boat is equipped with comfortable air-conditioned double cabins, each with en-suite wc and shower.
The dedicated and highly skilled crew is an important element in the success of our cruises, as their kindness and dedication contribute directly to the magic and spirit of this experience at sea.
Worried about getting bored on the cruise?
Our themed cruises include workshops led by a specialist, enabling you to connect with the emotions and energies generated by your encounters with dolphins. Schedules are adapted to suit the workshops on offer. No outing or workshop is compulsory, and everyone can organize their day according to their own wishes and well-being.
