The Dolphin Discovery Trail 2025, in aid of Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA, has officially wrapped up its treasure hunt, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part! With over 1,000 users on the Turfhunt app, the trail has been a resounding success, bringing colour, creativity, and community spirit to Guernsey.

The winner of the treasure hunt will be announced at the Dolphin Auction on Tuesday 17th September at the Peninsula Hotel, where the beautifully decorated dolphins will find their forever homes.

Dolphin Returns and Final Events

  • The first wave of dolphins has now returned to the GSPCA, thanks to the amazing volunteers from Artex with the remaining back over the next two days.
  • Artists have been invited to check and touch up their dolphins between 3rd and 13th September.
  • Many dolphins will be on display at Charities Seafront Sunday on 14th September.
  • All dolphins will be moved to the Peninsula Hotel and available for viewing by Wednesday morning.

Quotes from the Organisers

Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager, said:

“The Dolphin Discovery Trail has brought so much joy to the island, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who took part, sponsored a dolphin, or helped behind the scenes. The funds raised will make a real difference to the animals in our care and the vital work we do.”

Andrew Sparkes, Director of Autism Guernsey, added:

“It’s been wonderful to see the community come together through art and adventure. The trail has raised awareness and support for Autism Guernsey, and we’re excited to see the dolphins go to new homes at the auction.”
