Once a pod of dolphins is located, and upon invitation from the dolphins, guests will engage in an interactive and respectful swim. Yoga & Dolphins centers on minimal intrusion into the dolphins' natural environment; they do not feed, chase, or otherwise disrupt the dolphins natural behavior. The Yoga and Dolphins retreat also provides comfortably functional accommodations, travel arrangements and wholesome, healthy food.
