Swimming with the dolphins in Mozambique is an extremely rewarding and spiritual experience. These ethereal creatures are super intelligent marine mammals that seem to deeply connect with humans. Find the dolphins at Ponta do Ouro or Ponta Mamoli when you book a special dolphin swimming deal with Mozambique Travel. 

Feel the healing energies of dolphins when you swim beside them, feel all your worries and stresses disappear as you focus on the moment, in the silent underwater of the deep blue sea. Respect the dolphin’s environment and they will respect you. 

The dolphin swimming experience is unforgettable. The highlight of your trip into Africa. Lean that the sleek Bottlenose Dolphins tend to come inshore to meet people on their terms. Swimmers also get view and interact with the delightful Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins and the energetic smaller Spinner Dolphins. 

The Dolphin Centre in Ponta do Ouro is the centre for all swimming with dolphins in Mozambique and they have a very ethical environment approach towards these very special creatures. It is time for your dolphin safari!

• Bottlenose Dolphins: live in pods of about 15 dolphins. They are a very curious species and have always been curious about people in or near water. They will often investigate strange objects in the water such as divers and video cameras. They are very social and playful and love surfing in the waves near shore and leaping high out of the water. These dolphins often work as a team to harvest schools of fish, but they also hunt individually. They mainly eat fish, squid and crustaceans. Bottlenose dolphins use unique sounds for communication such as squeaks, and whistles emitted from the blowhole. 

• Humpback Dolphins: the Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphin has a long dorsal fin and humped back appearance due to fatty tissue deposits on their backs as they get older. They also have rounded foreheads and long beaks. Humpback dolphins are more relaxed when swimming and stick around in small pods of around five or so dolphins, led by an alpha male. 

• Spinner Dolphins: small dolphins found in tropical waters around the world. They are famous for their acrobatic displays, jumping high out of the water and spinning around like a spinning top. The beak is long and thin, with a dark tip. Spinners congregate in groups from just a few dolphins to great schools of thousands. They are consistently acrobatic and when breaching, they throw themselves high up into the air and spin around on their tails up to 7 times in a single jump. Is this communication or just play?
  

Swim with dolphins Mozambique

Contact one of our consultants to organise your dolphin swim holiday package where you get excellent rates and accommodation at the best beaches where dolphins occur. Mozambique is the ideal holiday destination where you can enjoy guided dolphin swims in warm bays and clear blue sea. 



In the south at Ponta do Ouro, qualified guides will join you to sense the needs of the dolphins and to lead your group into the dolphin pod. If the dolphins want to swim with you, they swim up to you and around you in a playful, circular motion. All you need to do is relax, float, feel their energy, enjoy. If the dolphins want to avoid your group, they will go off to feed and you will have to leave them alone. No one is allowed to touch these protected marine animals.

Being in their underwater world for a few minutes can change your life. You may be able to hear the dolphin’s sonar frequencies and it is said that this energy can alter your cellular structures to encourage a real sense of happiness.
