Package Tours

Our Sperm Whale Tours are natural, unscripted encounters. Giving yourself only one or two days to swim with whales will lead to disappointment if you don’t see any. It takes time to find the whales and, once we do, we must determine if they want to stay and play with us. Not all whales want to interact. Some are on the move, or maybe they just don’t feel like it. 90 percent of the time this is a success but keep in mind that this process can take all day.  We generally get in the water with whales almost everyday, it really comes down to the quality of those swim and the weather.

 

There is no seasons for the whales in Dominica since they are residents here all year long we always have a great chance at finding them. Some days in Dominica are are sunny; some days are cloudy. The weather is hot, but you’ll want to bring a wind jacket to keep you comfortable on the boat. Water temperature is around 82 F (29 C).  Dominica in our opinion, is the best place in the world for in-water encounters with sperm whales. Only snorkeling is allowed with the whales as they don’t like divers’ bubbles, and it’s hard to keep up with whales on SCUBA. The topography of the islands allows us to work in most conditions, excluding intense weather days of course.  We will go out and swim with the whales in most conditions; the weather and seas don’t seem to affect the whales at all. We search for the whales in calm, sheltered bays, or open sea.
