Papua New Guinea has just taken first place for my top destination to see wild dolphins! (Previously it was Zanzibar!) This entire day was surreal and completely magical! I was booked on a regular tour of the Duke of York Islands (as opposed to the specific dolphin trip at 6am), and the day started out strong when I looked down and saw dozens of giant starfish on the ocean floor! Then, we set off for the small islands, and I wasn’t expecting it at all when our guides yelled “Dolphins”!!! Up ahead were what seemed like over a hundred dolphins jumping and flipping in the air! Naturally, I immediately wanted to put on a mask and fins and dive in, but they told me to wait and watch how they “surf” at the front of the boat, so I sat at the bow instead. What happened next are moments I will never ever forget! There were dolphins racing right under my feet, and occasionally would jump up into the air making me turn and gasp “Did you see that?!” every five seconds! I could have sat there for hours watching them as we drove in circles amusing both the dolphins and myself. And that was only the beginning of this perfect day! ….to be continued! But also — they have this cool contraption where you can basically lay on a rope ladder in the water at the front of the boat with your mask and snorkel on, and “swim” with the dolphins as they surf the front of the boat! I’ve always tried free diving to keep up with them but HAHA yeah right, and this is was way more efficient 😂 Footage of it on my Stories! More info about how to do this trip with @pngtribalfoundation coming soon, and our potential group trip to Papua New Guinea in 2024! #papuanewguinea #eastnewbritain #kokopo #rabaul #dukeofyorkislands #mylifesatravelmovie x #pngtribalfoundation #globalcitizen #bethechange #solofemaletraveler #solofemaletravel #solotravel #dolphins
