Mozambique WILD DOLPHIN Soul immersion
9 – 16 March 2018
Prior to your Wild Dolphin retreat we will spend a night at the beautiful Victorian Guesthouse Goble Palms in the vibrant world of Durban, KwaZulu Natal before we make our way to the border of Mozambique to Respectfully Swim with wild and free dolphins on their own terms – in their own environment with Halo Gaia, in Ponta Malongane Southern Mozambique. This guided ocean safari is a rare and wonderful experience, to share a close encounter with Wild Bottle Nose Dolphins in the open ocean is life changing! Simply said. It is a dream come true…
A fun 4×4 drive over the sandy dune tracks brings you to the remote and Magnificent Tartaruga Luxury Beach Forest Camp. It is an exclusive private luxury tented camp that offers comfort, and tranquillity. This beautiful part of the world is an absolute paradise for nature lovers.
This wonderful 4 night safari retreat not only cherishes the wild dolphins but also invites you to take meditative long walks on an untouched beach; savour delicious cuisine; celebrate the local school children; explore the nearby Latino African village and learn about their wonderful culture, indulge in the healing vibrations of a sound Journey, explore your body-mind-spirit in daily sea-view YOGA and at the end of a soul-fulfilling day; luxuriate in the white cotton sheets of your beautiful safari tent with the sound of the waves lapping nearby!
After a deeply nourishing ocean immersion we will make our way back to Durban for a sunset river cruise. In Durban we will once again stay at the luxurious Goble Palms – for two nights – you will lavish in a decadent full day of pampering at the exquisite Mangwanani African spa.

“Within every human being is a natural desire to be healthy and well—health being the foundation for an abundant life. With the human race becoming increasingly frenetic, keeping pace can be incredibly daunting, and personal wellbeing often ends up taking a back seat. There is no better time than now to use these accelerated energies to ‘Hot-foot it to Health’ with Reflexology, an ancient and highly effective form of natural healing. Using the feet— the physique’s unsung heroes—reflexology activates and mobilises the body’s innate healing abilities to hasten the healing process. In this insightful book, Christine Lynne Stormer-Fryer, a world-renowned authority on natural healing and health, reveals how feet highlight the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of being human, and suggests the best steps to regain and maintain optimum health using the neutral energies of reflexology.”

This trip was truly transformational. I was listening to my heart and when I heard about Courtney and Shakti’s Dolphin Retreat. It was a clear YES. However, nothing could have prepared me for the depth of experience, learning and healing that lay ahead.
What an incredibly amazing company! Having attended several retreats with Courtney I can honestly say that it nothing short of life changing. Magnificently organised, incredibly professional. Such an honour and privilege to be part of the Halo Gaia family…
Wow, what an incredible team of people, well organised, extremely professional!! Courtney and her crew went the extra mile to give us a dolphin experience, it was absolutely amazing and then to see and be so closed to the whales too, incredible.
