Dolphin Encounters

Destination

Ponta do Ouro

Leave your worries and the chaotic energy of the city behind you, as you remove your shoes and walk on the soft beach sand entering this unique Robinson Crusoe style Eco-village that is right on the beach. It is here that one drifts off into peaceful slumber with dolphin experiences guiding you into dream-time, with the hum of the ocean on your doorstep. Magical and quaint, Dolphin Encounters had been home to us since 1997 and with direct beach access, early mornings are spent watching the magnificent sunrise, searching for dolphins, sussing out the waves and monitoring the wind before embarking on dolphin swims. Constructed out of local materials and wood the Dolphin Encounters offers a space that is tranquil and peaceful. Wind chimes and hammocks adorn this little island style paradise that has been decorated by Angie with a splash of trendy hip-ness encompassing all that is dolphin! The Beach Camp is a wonder for kids, taking them into a space of nature, Robinson Crusoe style…no tv, no play station and no computer games. Just the beach, the dolphins and you! Stylish ablution facilities are within the Dolphin Beach Camp and have hot water showers. The Dolphin Beach Camp houses our Dolphin Center and Curio shop as well as Angie’s dolphin library.
