Swim with SPERM WHALES in DOMINICA
Book now for 2025
Swim with Sperm Whales of Dominca
Join us for one of the most incredible wildlife encounters that exists. Experiencing sperm whale in their world, to witness them up-close, is a truly humbling experience. Their intelligence, and mystique, is unlike any other, and a few moments spent with them will last a lifetime.
Dominica in the Caribbean is one of the best places to experience the wonder of sperm whales. And to keep it that way the government has a strict permitting process.
Each year we are granted multiple 5 day permits to take guests to swim with the largest toothed predator on the planet.
No SCUBA certification needed.
About
We will be running multiple sessions to Dominica in 2025 to spend our days swimming with these amazing animals. Under the permit these are very small groups up to 6 maximum.
We’ve charted a boat just for us, and we'll be out about 6+ hours a day to find and swim with these gentle giants. Given the population in Dominica is year round, we predict a high likelihood of frequent encounters. Those times when we're not seeing them, there are plenty of other mammals to keep us occupied, here's just a few that are commonly seen, Remember though, nothing is guaranteed, and they are wild animals, it’s up to them if they are around.
- False killer whales, Pygmy orca,
- Spinner, bottlenose, and spotted Dolphins
- Pilot whales, beaked whales….
Our local guide will be seasoned professional and member of the Dominica Sperm Whale Project research team. He lives in Dominica year round and collects ID and acoustic data on the sperms whales. His in-depth knowledge and access to cutting edge research on this population of Sperm Whales will be an invaluable resource on contribution to your expedition.
