Whale Watching

Whale Watching

Dominica is renowned as a premier whale watching destination for enthusiasts worldwide. Beneath the surface of the Caribbean, deep underwater canyons create an ideal habitat for an array of cetacean species. The star of the show is without a doubt the sperm whale, which is often found in close proximity to the shore, and other delightful companions such as bottlenose and spotted dolphins too adorn the seascape. Boat trips usually last around three hours and include not only insightful commentary but also a range of complimentary services on board.
