A God Blessed Dolphin Sunrise Morning

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

There are some things in life where you simply have to stop and simply say wow, that is truly amazing. Granted with our busy lives and day to day grind, it becomes increasingly difficult to appreciate such little things and beauties, especially when it comes to nature. Even one as impressive as a gorgeous crisp morning sunrise and an elegant and majestic dolphin swimming in the bay under its slowly warming gaze.

This video while not complex in its breakdown is not so much centered on information and interesting facts but really the sheer beauty and rarity of our own world for which we miss and pass by each and every day. So much so that the very idea has become foreign or unknown. This video does very well to recapture that loss sense of appreciation for nature, life, humanity and God.

Wow, just wow, needless to say, a true testament to tranquility and serenity, moments that all of us ultimately need from time to time to remind us of a greater purpose and magnificence far beyond our reason or comprehension. One that is forever present in our lives, if only we stop and look.

Hope you guys truly enjoyed this breathtaking video, we would love to hear what you think, have you had a dolphin experience, or seen a dolphin like this in nature and want to share with us?

As always hope to hear from you soon,
God Bless,

A prestine Dolphin Swim Experience in Hawaii

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

The  crystal clear waters, crisp clean air, and pearl white sand beaches of Hawaii are a big attraction for most tourists visiting the island, but there is just 1 other attraction that competes if not supersedes this covetous experience.  That is the unique and unparalleled experience of swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii. I read this great article that embodies in every respect the true free spirit of swimming with the wild spinner dolphins.

There are two great locations to experience and swim with the dolphins in Hawaii. Those include the fabled shores of Kona and Oahu. It is rapidly being known to many who enjoy the excitement and share the unbridled admiration of the wild dolphin experience. One such case is shown in  Frank Lazzaro’s article,  who shares his experience with us of how he wakes up bright and early one morning to gain a  pure free glimpse of the wild spinner dolphins. He notes how on this particular day, which seemed like any other, he paddled with his kayak and  within 10 minutes of sailing, he stumbled upon a pod an impressive 10-15 spinner dolphins.

Within minutes he geared up and slipped into the water for both an underwater and above water look at these amazing creatures. Within the hour the group of 10-15 dolphins grew substantially, to a staggering 40 dolphins. He watched as they played and frolicked among each other, even at one point mentioning how they were engaging in some sporty fun of passing the soaked leaf from one dolphin to another. The article confirms this, Franks says, ” I slipped into the clear blue water with my mask, snorkel and fins to survey the situation. Much to my delight, the pod of around 10-15 dolphins was visible below and swimming alongside our kayak. I spent about an hour in the water with this group, playing and cavorting. The group expanded to up to 40 dolphins by combining smaller congregations. Sitting and observing the dolphins up close, we watched them play a game of pass with a soggy leaf, a behavior I’ve witnessed before”.

All that can be said is simply amazing, this is what the an encounter with wild spinner dolphins  experience is all about, that natural rhythmic sensation where you truly feel one with nature and a true zen purism that ripples through the body to give that euphoric relaxing sensation that defines and highlights the ideal and essential if not perfect vacation experience.

We would love to hear what you guys think about this, have you ever gone swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii ? have you ever considered going to Hawaii for a vacation? How does this article make you feel about swimming with the wild spinner dolphins? As always we are very anxious for your feedback.

Until next time,  God Bless,

Should Dolphin Be Released into Wild?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Kitana, a 2 year old female dolphin, is being rehabilited at Gulf World marine park. They found Kitana off the shore and she was very sickly. Now she is living the good life for now at the park, eating and playing. She is getting healthy quickly.  The reason I say for now, because the last dolphin at Gulf World that was nursed to health and set free got ate by Sharks almost immediately after the release.

The protocol by the Marine Fishery Act requires animals to be set free after they are healthy enough.

You need to see this news clip and give me your opinion < See Video >…

Interesting isn’t it.  Should Kitana be released?
God Bless,

Beggar the Dolphin Sarasota Florida

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Who would think a Dolphin called Beggar the Dolphin would be so famous but this dolphin is. He lives off the coast of Sarasota and he made the news because of his begging for food. This dolphin swims up to boats in the bay and opens his mouth next to the fishing boats and begs for food.

It seems like a lot of boaters are feeding him. If you do a search on Youtube, and type Beggar the Dolphin or Begger the Dolphin, you will find a lot of homemade videos of people feeding this dolphin.

To see a news report on this dolphin, < click Here >.

What do you think, should people be allowed to feed wild dolphins?

Elusive Pink Dolphins

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

We have reported before about the elusive pink dolphin that live in South America. ABC news did a video piece on the Pick Dolphin in Bolivia.  They live in the Amazon River. You need to see this video.

What do you think about the pink dolphin? Should they build river dams to have electricity for people or save the pink dolphin? I look forward to your responses.
God Bless,

Spinner Dolphins

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Hi All,

When I came back from Oahu Hawaii and was blessed with snorkeling and swimming around with Spinner Dolphins off the western coast, it was an experience that I will never forget. Especially their unique behavior of jumping out of the water.  This is a sight you need to see. We have an youtube video of our experience.  SEE VIDEO

Also, today, we added a story about Spinner Dolphins. You can find out a lot information with this article. Check out the Spinner Dolphins Article.

I know you can see Spinner Dolphins in many tropical locations but Hawaii is a great place to see them. I did both, the dolphin swim in Oahu Hawaii, and the wild dolphin trip, both are great!!

I only visited Oahu and it was beautiful. Can someone out there add some input about Hawaii and the spinner dolphins?
God Bless,
John

Swimming with Dolphins Oahu Hawaii

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Hi there,

I was just thinking about my honeymoon in Oahu Hawaii and where we swam with the dolphins and did so much more.

First of all, Hawaii is really beautiful and the people are really nice.  There is so much to do there, mountains, oceans, shopping, and sightseeing.

The swim with the dolphins at sea life park hawaii is amazing. The park overlooks the North Shore of Oahu and you get the best of both worlds, swimming with dolphins and a view that is breath taking.

To see a video from our day, click here:

We also went to the Polynesian Village, Snorkeling with Wild Spinner Dolphins, ate amazing Dim Sum in China Town in Honolulu, shrimp farms and ate delicious shrimp,  my wife’s favorite, and went to the Pearl Harbor memorial too.

Does anyone out there have an Oahu Hawaii story? I know I have heard about the other islands but I like to hear more stories about Oahu.
God Bless,
John

Punta Cana Dolphin and Snorkeling

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Hi All,

Punta Cana is so beautiful, the water, beaches and people. This place is growing by leaps and bounds. It is wild to see how fast Punta Cana as a vacation destination has taken off. I guess because of the modern airport that is close by all the resorts and the reasonably priced all inclusive resorts help. But of coarse the activities are amazing here too, from the natural dolphin swim in Punta Cana, to snorkeling the reefs, horseback riding on the beach, fun boat rides in the ocean, and watersports galore. The word has spread and this has become a HOT destination.

We wrote a story about the Natural Dolphin Swim and the Snorkeling Experience in Punta Cana. If you like to read it, please  Click Here – Punta Cana Dolphin Swimming and Snorkeling.

Snorkeling or Free-Diving, which many call it, is a great water sport to get used to. It seems easy and it is once you get used to the mask and snorkel in your mouth. Once you get past that hurdle of not swallowing water all the time, you need to try holding your breath and free dive down under the water. The world record is about 300 feet under the water, pretty amazing. You will appreciate this record once you try free diving under the water only a few feet, not that easy. I have seen people free dive up to 60 feet. I still still struggle to 20 :) .

Here in Punta Cana you can snorkel in the Ocean and you can snorkel with the dolphins with the Natural Swim. So the better you are are with the equipment, the better time you will have. If you can, buy a mask and snorkel at your local dive shop and you can practice at your local pool, lake or ocean. You will be ready for this vacation!!

Do we have any snorkel stories out there? From beginners? From Novice? From the Experts? I would love to hear all your experiences.
God Bless,
John
