Wake up at 2am on Monday, in the car at 2:30am, in the air at 6am, arrived in Dalaman, Turkey at 8:30am. Then to the Hotel Mares by bus.
Me, Hanni and Leni have our own bedroom. We tried the pool after lunch and went to the Mini Disco after dinner. And then into bed dog-tired.
Hello, I would like to say a few words about the Dolphin therapy of my son Dardan. I am really happy that we went with the whole family to the Dolphin therapy in Antalya for the Spring holydays. Everything was good en we were very pleased with everything and the fact that everything went very well with the therapy of Dardan.
The dolphins Flip and Frosia, as the dolphin therapist Barbara, were a real miracle for Dardan. After the first 2 days Dardans fear reduced a lot and in the end he had also lost his fear of deep water. Dardan listened amazingly well to Barbara. She was so good that Dardan gained a lot of trust in a very short time. Because of the therapy, a lot of other things improved as well, for example self confidence, concentration and communication. He has also said so many words, that it really surprised me.
Dardan swam with dolphin Flip, danced with him, stroke him, gave him a kiss. He was so happy with Flip that he didn’t want to let go of him anymore! It was all so good to see. Because of our own experience with the dolphins, I would like to advice other parents to take this step, because it’s really worth for them and their children. Read the rest of this entry »
My brother had dolphin therapy at your centre in june and he is a totally different child. Both him and my mum met the dolphin while me and a friend swam. I can honestly say it was the best thing in my life and we will definitely be doing it again next year. Thank you so much.

We arrived back from Turkey a week ago. The Dolphin Therapy was super. The Hotel and surroundings were beautiful and we also had a hotel room suitable for disabled persons, even though the Hotel had informed you that such a room was unavailable.
We found the Therapy most satisfactory. We were cared for by educated personnel who had the necessary expertise, they were very friendly and worked with us perfectly, as also with one another. It was well worth it and we can certainly recommend the Therapy Center. Read the rest of this entry »
So, it is now time for the Report of our third Dolphin Therapy, from 09.09 – 23.09.2011, in the ONMEGA Dolphin Therapy Center in Antalya, Turkey!
After the very, very good experiences we had in the Dolphin Therapy Center in 2008 and 2009, we were certain that we would return. In December our bookings were made and we were already looking forward……
On 09.09.2011 at long last the time had come, the aircraft flew us south, to the dolphins !!
As Leon had his therapy bicycle with him this time, we had booked a special Transfer through the Therapy Center, which worked very well. After a short wait we drove from the airport in Dalaman straight to the Club Turban Hotel in Antalya. We were so pleased with the Hotel last time we decided to stay there again. Everything there is suitable for children and the disabled, and the staff is really kind.
The weather was, apart from 2 rainy afternoons, super; sunshine and a temperature of 40°C, not so hot as in July. Just right for us after the bad Summer we had at home.
After 2 days relaxing on the beach, on Monday we started Leon’s therapy program. We had met Barbara on the platform the day before….. Leon recognized Barbara straight away, we were all happy and the atmosphere was warm and friendly as it had been in previous years. As if we had never left. Read the rest of this entry »
First of all, Annika is 13 years old and weighs only 25kg! But she is a pack of muscles, very resilient and mostly very happy!
We booked through Delfintherapiereisen Megasport in Germany. That was very simple. At the beginning of the year I sent an e-mail stating the dates I wanted and travelled at the beginning of the Summer holidays. Megasport sends all the supporting documents per e-mail – one can also print them and fill them out at leisure! As I had a few questions I phoned them up and everything was answered, very nice and friendly. I can recommend that.

Article by newspaper Sächsische Zeitung [online], 24.09.2011, author: Catharina Karlshaus
The young girl could not stand on her own legs. After two weeks of Dolphin Therapy great progress has been made.
Manuela Lenuweit is a happy woman. Without a doubt. The 47 year-old is tanned, the worried look in her eyes has given way to laughter wrinkles and her demeanour radiates newly-won strength. Manuela Lenuweit is above all a happy mother. The mother of eight year-old Victoria, for whom people in Priestewitz, Großenhain and other towns and villages donated a lot of money.
The Situation was a great burden
A fund-raising campaign mounted by the SZ local editorial office in Großenhain and the Priestewitz community raised over 15.000 Euros. The dolphin therapy in Antalya, Turkey, cost 9450 Euros which the family were unable to pay. „That was a blow for my husband“, said Frau Lenuweit. „He was always working but so much money was not available for our little one. 
The situation was continually a burden for us.“ Since the time this was publicized in the SZ on 5 May the life of the worried parents changed considerably. Victoria has made progress, is more balanced and in August was able to kneel. An event for the parents that was like Easter, Birthday and Christmas all on one day.
Then the time arrived. After all the hope and years of waiting the Lenuweits began packing. On September 2 they flew to Turkey. Along with the luggage were not only Summer clothes and toys but also especially lots of wishes. Looking at Manuela Lenuweit today, one can see that these wishes all came true. „Victoria had surprisingly no problems with settling down. Already on the second day she had adjusted to the routines of the Hotel and Therapy Center“, she said. A strictly organized course that, for the blonde girl who is organically healthy, meant a lot of hard work. In the mornings there was Cranio Sacral therapy – a procedure which involves manual pressure on the skull and sacrum. Read the rest of this entry »
I wanted to write of my time at the therapy centre in Antalya, and to thank you all again for the wonderful care, and attention, you gave me.
From the very start of my inquiry into Dolphin Therapy, I recieved very compassionate, and detailed, care from Turgay. Within one week of my first email, we had a program made up for me, and I am not exactly a “usual” case for this type of therapy. I sought this therapy for myself, not for a child. I’d heard that Dolphin Therapy could be successful in helping sufferers of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and I was desparate to see if it could help me. Read the rest of this entry »
Once again, I would like to thank you and the team for the unforgettable days at Onmega Dolphin center! Again, like a year before, we saw immdiate results of the program on Kirill and look forward to see more with each coming day.
We understand your concern over the attacks from people who don’t in fact know you.
We spent 10 days for research purposes in the Onmega Therapy Center in Antalya in 2009.
We bore witness to the attention you gave to the health and well-being of the animals and also to the quality of patient care.
We welcomed altogether the openess and collaboration of the whole team, the trainers and therapists, the playful approach of the animals, the repectful understanding and the provision of service.
The complete work was great and deserves merit.
