Dominica: Whales, Waterfalls & the Wild Caribbean

Dominica is one of the only places on earth where sperm whales live year-round — and this 7-day adventure puts you in the water with them. Each morning, set off by boat with a naturalist guide in search of the pod. Afternoons are yours to explore or unwind. Above and below the water, Dominica doesn't stop surprising you.

Day 1: Roseau: Welcome to Dominica
As soon as the plane touches down you realize that this island is not your typical Caribbean postcard beach destination. Cross the island on a winding road through the rainforest, catching the occasional glimpse of the ocean in the distance and hearing the rush of rivers and waterfalls through the open window. We welcome you to Dominica, and invite you to prepare for incredible natural beauty and marine life encounters that will live in your memory forever.
Day 2: Roseau: In Search of Whales
The waters surrounding Dominica are a sanctuary for a resident population of sperm whales, making the island one of the few locations in the world to encounter them. Set off in the mornings by boat along with marine and naturalist experts in search of these gentle giants for the chance to swim and snorkel with them in their natural habitat. Afternoons are free to go on optional excursions, explore town or to relax by the pool.
