Join an unforgettable wildlife adventure in Dominica, known as the “Nature Island,” and swim with resident sperm whales in their natural habitat. After arriving in Roseau, you stay at a comfortable seaside hotel and spend several days heading out by boat each morning, guided by experts who use hydrophones and local knowledge to locate the whales. The tour includes snorkeling (not scuba diving) with the whales, observing them from the boat, enjoying local food, relaxing time on shore, and learning about marine conservation. The close-encounters are respectful and regulated to protect both you and the whales. It’s both an adventurous marine experience and a chance to soak in Dominica’s lush landscapes, culture, and ocean beauty.
