Swimming with Dolphins - Dolphin Encountours initiated Africa's first dolphin swim program in 1996 after a two year trial period in Ponta do Ouro, Southern Mozambique. During this period co-founder's embarked on establishing Africa's first Dolphin Swim and Research Center. A strict code of conduct was developed based on advise and guidelines from international and local marine mammal experts, resulting in a program that allows close interactions on the dolphin's terms.

A beckoning to share the wonder of dolphins with man as well as a profound sense to protect and learn from them has developed unique inter-species relationships, where both species seemingly benefit from the social interactions.

Ongoing research in calibration with The Natural History Museum in Maputo and various other institutes ensures that programs are run with high standards, where observations are strictly monitored and daily data is collected. Much care is taken when working with this dolphin society as crew regard cetaceans {dolphins and whale} as highly intelligent beings that have emotion and thus experience joy and pain.
