We will stay in a waterfront hotel, where you will be just steps from our boat to take us to see the dolphins each day. You can walk to anywhere on the island, including beautiful beaches and the cute little town. The amazing staff at the hotel offer morning yoga classes. They love the dolphins as much as you do and are focused on you having the best experience of your life. They take care of every detail.
It is a place to make friends with other likeminded souls and sincere, heartfelt crew, in what quickly becomes a ‘human pod’. Where you can belong again. A relaxing mix of sailing open seas, dolphin swims, healthy delicious food (organic when possible) a laid-back Retreat Centre for chilling out and enjoying the program of the week. Designed to re-connect you with your own body, so you can connect with the dolphins when they come to greet you.

Jillian Rutledge is a lifelong learner of dolphins and whales. She was first introduced to their world as a dolphin trainer, where she learned from them that freedom is more about mind and spirit than our physical location. The dolphins also taught her how to consciously breathe, transmitting to her the codes of transmutation. This profound experience awakened her to her power, joy and dolphin-ness.
She went on to commune with the dolphins and whales of the world's oceans, deepening the relationship thru breath-hold diving and underwater dancing. She has known the Bimini dolphins since 2002 and were her first teachers in breath hold diving in the open ocean.
Jillian currently lives in the pacific northwest, where she spends time with orcas, humpbacks, harbour porpoises and pacific white-sided dolphins. she adores being in service as a professional freediving instructor, breathing specialist and performance coach. With her experience, wisdom and intuition, she now collaborates with people to bring back their power and joy, remembering how to breathe again. Secretly becoming more like dolphins. (wink wink.)
5 days of boat trips to swim with the dolphins! We will go out each day to meet and swim with the friendly Atlantic Spotted and Bottlenose dolphins that have been interacting with people for over 20 years.
Daily freediving and breath hold practice to prepare you to relax into your time with the dolphins to help you become one with the pod!
Feel the island vibe of Bimini. The island is populated by friendly people, many are descendants from African slaves. Ernest Hemingway lived there for 2 years and Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth is thought to be found on the South island of Bimini!

Your Hosts:
The Dolphins of Bimini have been swimming with people for over 20 years. They love to interact with humans who are ready to open their hearts to them. They often come racing to find the boat and interact with the eager people. Part of their life's purpose is to bring joy to people and to help raise their vibration. The very best way for them to do their work is for you to be in the water with them.
Respectful in Water Encounters is how we will approach the dolphins in their watery home. We will observe them in their natural environment as they observe and engage us to play with them and mimic our movements. Don't be surprised if they read your thoughts and answer your questions through their actions and telepathic communication.
