Whale watching
The island of Dominica has gained the reputation of being the “ Whale Watching Capital of the Caribbean".
We currently experience a 90% success on our whale and dolphin safaris.

Sperm Whales are seen year round, it is believed that they feed on giant squids at depths of over 5,000 feet.
Sperm Whales are often seen, mating and tending to their young.
Other whales which visit our shores are: Short-finned Pilot, Pygmy Sperm, False Killer, Dwarf Sperm, Beaked and the occasional Arca.
Whale watching is a year-round activity in Dominica.

Other species of cetaceans seen in our waters include: Spotted, Spinner, Fraser, Bottle nosed, Striped and Common dolphins.

Our Whale and Dolphin Safaris depart from the Fort Young Dive Center Dock, at 2 PM. Sundays and Wednesdays.

Thirty three species of Marine Mammals have been sighted in the wider Caribbean, including whales, dolphins and the West Indian Manatee.
