Dolphin Expeditions

One breath, one heart, with unconditional love.

In the photos, Dolphin love, this mornings rising sun and our little dolphin logo is back.

This is my yearly apology, a bit later than usual for needing to take a communication break and heal after our 2024 dolphin season.

I've been in oral pain for many years. These past two seasons, I have been in almost intolerable pain. Spending a good bit of time with a snorkel in my mouth is my favorite place, but it also has been the most painful. After a couple of years and a lot of research, I have recently returned from having surgery in Turkey that has literally changed my life for the better. I will expound on this in my next posting for those that it might find it helpful, nothing short of a miracle, and so thankful.

November 1st, the day of the dead, is also the day of my best friend, my mother's passing. Veterans Day is the memory of my father's passing. Both my mother and father being Marine Corp officers. It's sometimes difficult to understand even with time passing that the holiday times that were spent together are still sad moments, not having my family to share familiar times with, like Thanksgiving and Christmas's together. November has been a growth experience to say the least.

I love our human/dolphin family and you all mean the world to me and I wouldn't trade what we all have and have shared together for anything except to share another Bahamian sunrise and hug with my mom and dad again where this all started.

Yes, along with the surgery and recovery time, November is a bit of an experiential month for me.
I do apologize again for not getting back to so many of you yet concerning this coming seasons trip dates since September.
I am back online and starting to answer the phone again... it's taken a while to be understood on the phone after the surgery.
All is well, and looking forward to our new adventures together.
With love, always, g

Our 2025 dolphin swim season dates are coming out this weekend. I apologize for the delay...

"One love, one heart / Let’s get together and feel alright”

“All in One” None but ourselves can free our minds.”

It's a beautiful Bob Marley kinda day here on island.
There is a light breeze, the puffy scattered clouds backed by a clear blue sky is mirroring down on the flat, calm waters. Puppy Taino is stretched out across my legs, letting out a big chest expanding sigh now and then.

A beautiful day to you...

Peace...

Inhale...

May the seas lie smooth before you. May a gentle breeze forever fill your sails. May sunshine warm your face, and kindness warm your soul.

With the closure of our 2024 dolphin season, there are so many emotions that are flowing through my soul. Mostly being thankful.

We were truly a human/ dolphin family out here and suffer the sadness and joys connected with these mostly amazing experiences that mother nature and the energies brought on board by our guests from all over the world offer us.

I am so thankful for those of you who joined and trusted in us to help realize your dolphin dreams this past season. Each week, being a completely unique experience, our guests, Mother Nature, and ourselves all play a part in how each week will unfold... unfolding in a way that might not be immediately understood but as it's supposed to and should be.

We lost a very special soul in Claudia who has been with us for over 20 years as a friend and facilitating dolphin swims with us with her guests from Germany. I know she will always be with us here in spirit with her uniqueness and love.

On the joyful side, we did have amazing amounts of love gifted to us. As I was steering Indigo Dreams to our next anchorage at the end of a long day, a red-headed teary-eyed husband on his way to dinner confided to me that this was one of the five best days in his life... it was a touching and thankful moment shared.

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you can not breathe... have you ever loved someone madly...

Exhale...

Thank you all... G

With great sadness and much love we heavy hearted and sadly say, "See you on the dolphin grounds my wonderful and special friend," to our loving and most cherished friend, Claudia.
Claudia has been an inspiration and backbone for so many.
For over 20 years she has facilitated trips with us bringing guests from Germany to experience the uniqueness and love that Mother Nature blesses us with here in this special place.
Around January she learned that she might not have much time left here and put together a group knowing that is was most likely her last chance to swim with her beloved dolphins and to share that experience with others.
Last Friday, Claudia passed. She had put together a very special two week experience for her guests. Yesterday, and last evening, we celebrated her life and will continue throughout the future. There's no doubt that she will be joining us on the dolphin grounds as usual, with her strong German accent translating my boring stories into much longer boring stories in German.
Claudia, you are so loved, so missed and in a much better place... I'm looking forward to when we hug again. Peace

When I first consciously manifested my big dream, I landed on Captain Geoffrey on Bimini- that was 2007. Last week's group had no dolphin contact due to a hurricane. And I was so convinced then that this would be totally different in my group. I said it out of conviction - I have flown halfway around the world to swim with wild dolphins, so it will work. And as it worked: we had several dolphin contacts every single day, even the captain said it was very unusual. And on the last day I had my encounter with "my dolphin", calmly waiting for me in the water as I dived down to him. We were so close, I could kiss his sweet nose. This was one of the happiest moments of my life! Well manifested! Since then, I've been collecting happy moments like these to pack into my life suitcase. Moments like these are so present, at any time I can dive back into "my dolphin" in my imagination. I think I will repeat this. 🥰

Thank you so much for the kindness and manifesting Tanja....

Fourty dolphins literally making gentle love to our guests and crew for hours this afternoon.
The peace and serenity of this week has been a blessing. The gifts from mother nature, many.
Many thanks to Katja and Casper for putting together this simple short video.
We have so much footage, both video and stills from today, yet, to me, this captures the simple essence of the wonders that we are blessed to enjoy in this special place...
Exhale, with love...

Our guest Rita from 2022 was kind enough to post this video that she made and send it to us... thank you so much.

On a 5 day trip to search for and swim with dolphins in the wild, I was surrounded by dolphins so close to me that I could touch them (but I didn't). Off the...

Fourty of our wild dolphin family literally making love to our guests for over 3 hours on our last day. With the weather gods gifting us the best weather of the season so far... we celebrated hours of dolphin magic each every day except on Wednesday when everyone voted to take the day and play with our stingray family, our shark buddies and a beautiful reef area that most have never experienced. One of our guests took me to the side and emotionally shared that this day was one of the top 5 best days in his life... yes, it was a good week with wonderful people... thank you.
