Dolphin Encountours Research Center
Dolphin Encountours Snorkel Experience, Whale Watching & Volunteer Stays.
Dolphin Encountours Research Center specialise in creating a safe space for intimate encounters to take place with wild dolphins while contributing to their wellbeing. They are happiest when they are out in the field, checking in on their finned friend’s and are deeply committed to their role in protecting their environment.
Since 1995 Angie Gullan has been sharing the magical wonder of coming face to face with the wild #dolphinsofponta, pioneering the way in ethical, educational and responsible practice for tours with these sentient non-human persons whom she calls the people of the sea. The past almost 3 decades have been spent nurturing a friendship and creating opportunities for human dolphin encounters to take place that works within the realms of ‘conscious interaction’.
The long-term monitoring of marine mammals in the area was initiated in 1997 by our founders under the guidance of Africa’s marine mammal scientists. This initiative now sees over 7500 sightings recoded in the area of dolphins, with some 5500 boat launches being done out of Ponta do Ouro. Through our research & conservation arm DolphinCareAfrica, we have collected and maintained a longterm data set and have historical records by means of images and video archived with ~250 individuals catalogued. Lineage has been tracked on resident females, some as far as 6 generations.
