WHALE & DOLPHIN ADVENTURE
Among the many species of underwater wildlife inhabiting the coastal waters of Dominica, whales and dolphins are two of the most intelligent and beguiling.
A motorized catamaran will take you on a 3-hour cruise along the island’s west coast, around 3 miles offshore, during which time you can enjoy the breeze and, if luck is on your side, spot some whales and dolphins. During the cruise, your captain and the crew will tell you about the behaviour of these aquatic mammals and what to look out for.
Once the boat drops anchor, the crew will lower hydrophones into the water to listen for the rhythmic clicking typical of sperm whales, the pinging of pilot whales, the whistling of dolphins or the singing of humpback whales. Your whale and dolphin adventure will then come to a close with your return back to the ship.
Please note: No guarantees can be given that any whales or dolphins will be seen. The minimum distance for approaching these animals is 55 yards.
As the tour takes you to a calving area and ensuring the welfare of these animals is extremely important, no in-water activity will be permitted on the tour
