Swimming with the dolphins is a joy-expanding, perception-altering experience. The devoted crew at WildQuest helps make respectful, playful and natural interactions with these animals reliably possible. They have been guiding immersive wild dolphin retreats for 30 seasons at their lovely private seaside location on Bimini Island, Bahamas, about 50 miles off the east coast of Florida.
Amber first traveled to WildQuest in 2023 with Hawaii-based guides Lisa Denning and Hydee Tehana, to research and experience dolphin sound and communication with her (then 10 yr old) son, where they felt the healing powers of family play, joy and discovery in the warm crystalline salt water flats swimming with Atlantic Spotted and Bottlenose dolphins.
