Dolphin Eco - Tours: Dolphin EnCountours has been facilitating in water dolphin observation programs in Mozambique since 1995 after a South African family discovered the resident dolphins in then quite and remote sea side village of Ponta do Ouro; while taking time out from the hustle and bustle of city life. It was on the 28 December 1994 that the Dolphins of Ponta welcomed Angie Gullan into their watery realm allowing an interaction so close that it transpired into a life long dolphin journey. 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. 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.
A strict code of conduct has been developed over the last decade, resulting in a program that is facilitated by Africa's leaders in wild dolphin behavior; allowing close interactions on the dolphin's terms. 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.
