Ring in the New Year in Dominica, the enchanting “Nature Island,” where 65% of its lush landscape is forested and vibrant wildlife thrives above and below water. Picture yourself snorkeling in crystal-clear Caribbean waters with majestic sperm whales, the largest toothed whales, during peak season. Around this island, these usually elusive giants have become comfortable with human presence, offering a rare chance to snorkel with them and capture stunning images of these cetaceans in their watery world. Female sperm whales and their calves often stay in the warm waters near the island year-round, while the males journey to the poles in search of deep-water squid. Spend four days, weather permitting, aboard the boat seeking opportunities to slide into the water and experience intimate encounters with these magnificent whales. Dive into this once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with unforgettable encounters and stunning memories.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Plunge into the realm of sperm whales with four days of in-water encounters.
  • Maximize your time in the water with an exclusive small group.
  • Revel in the serene blue waters and vibrant marine life.
  • Enjoy the island’s authentic charm and tranquility, tucked away from the usual tourist crowds.
  • Celebrate the New Year with your travel companions and island locals.
