Sea World doesn't hold a candle...

Got my wet suit on, and I'm ready to swim.

Dolphins swam right up under our boat.

They did jumps and tricks for us, and responded to our whistles and clicks.

One of our main reasons for heading to Touranga was to catch a highly recommended dolphin swimming tour. This husband and wife team takes small groups of folks out into the ocean looking for pods of dolphins. As long as there are no babies nursing, you're allowed to snorkle in the water and swim with the dolphins. Today I swam so close to many (many!) bottlenose dolphins that I could have leaned over and kissed one and reached out and touched many more. They were so curious! As long as you didn't splash and made clicking or whistling noises they'd come over to check you out. Oh how I wish I'd had an underwater camera!

These dolphins were bigger than any i've ever seen! Easily eight feet long and big enough around I wouldn't have been able to hug one. Such beautiful creatures. And what a special treat to be able to swim along side them in the wild. What a truly amazing experience!!
