Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the ocean to play with dolphins? Join a Dolphin Expedition cruise for an enchanting adventure that will bring you up close and personal with these majestic creatures of the sea!
As you swim through the sparkling waves, you’ll be captivated by the melodious symphony of dolphin communication. Listen closely, and you’ll hear their whistles echoing through the vast expanse of the water. It’s a language that transcends words, a secret conversation that only those beneath the surface can truly comprehend.
But that’s not all! Dolphins are renowned for their incredible echo-location skills. Picture this: the gentle click-clack of their echolocation filling the air, creating an underwater symphony that resonates with the rhythm of the ocean. You may even feel a subtle humming sensation, a tingling energy that connects you to these remarkable beings in a way words can’t describe.
Playing with a Bandana
More like bandana keep away! Once the dolphins have a bandana, they tend not to give it back. They carry it on their peck fins, tail fluke, mouth, and even dorsal fins. Only a few dolphins with close familiarity with trusted humans like Captain Scott will take the bandana directly from humans. Most of the time, we have to drop the bandana mid-water and back away to give time for the dolphins to pick it up.
This game was taught to humans by the dolphins. They naturally pick up seaweed and carry it around on their fins, occasionally chasing each other around or passing it back and forth. After also often carrying around seaweed with the dolphins, in 1992, Captain Scott finally gained the trust of two male dolphins, Black Spot and White Spot, who allowed him to join in. The two dolphins and one human were passing seaweed between them! Definitive wild dolphin and human game had started. Captain Scott eventually introduced a bandana, which the dolphins loved, and the game expanded to other individual dolphins over the years.
