      About this trip

      Mobula Ray and Orcas


      Join me for a phenomenal expedition to swim with giant schools of Mobula rays, and search for the elusive Orca.    Remember the Orcas are hard to find animals and there is a good chance we may not see them at all. Nonetheless, this is one of the best places in the world to have a chance to see them especially in warm water. 


      Plus we will also have air support to help search for these and other animals in the region which includes fin whales, blue whales, whale sharks, dolphins and more.

      A wonderful experience in Dominica. Kellon was a fantastic group leader – he was kind, knowledgeable, and a true steward and advocate for the whales. It was obvious he took seriously his work and our group’s care. Purnell and John worked tirelessly to spot whales and dolphins, which were also incredible to swim with, and ensure our group had the best experience possible. Lise and the whole crew at Champs were also a delight - a lovely little hotel with delicious home cooked food, excellent service, and a beautiful view..

      I had a fantastic experience with Just the Wild in Dominica. Our group had several close encounters with sperm whales, bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales. Our boat captain and local whale whisperer, Pernell, was a sight to behold as he listened for and found the different animals, and dropped us in the water at the exact right spot to interact with them. Our guide, Kellon, was super knowledgeable, took wonderful care of everyone in the group, and had a great sense of humor. The staff at our hotel were lovely people who accommodated my many dietary restrictions. I enthusiastically recommend Just the Wild!

      Amazing trip. Traveled with a friend, we had a wonderful group of 6 and our guide, Kellon, as well as boat captain, Purnell, were absolutely phenomenal. We were blown away by the depth of their knowledge and dedication to the well-being of the whales as well as their commitment to ensuring we had an interactive, up close experience while also ensuring that the comfort and boundaries of the whales were respected at all times. Due to both the care and expertise that they provided, we were able to have a long encounter with one particularly social whale where it felt like the entire world stopped. Purnell is truly gifted at identifying, finding and fully knowing these magnificent animals, to such an extent that every other boat captain is literally left in his wake, attempting to follow where he leads. He seems to always know where the animals are. Kellon has a depth of knowledge about cetaceans that can only come from truly loving what he does, and that is evident in every detail of this trip. Cannot wait to return!

      Just the absolute best experience! From the whales, to my fellow travelers, to our guide, to our captain and his crew - everything was just brilliant. Gave me a new outlook on life (seriously, hah) and completely renewed my childhood love of all things marine. Cannot wait to go on another trip with Just the Wild!

      If creating core memories, authentic experiences and a lot of laughs a long the way is what you seek, look no further! I went to Dominica with little expectation, as with any trip like this, these are wild creatures and there are no guarantees. Everyone was a joy to meet and work with, from our local guides Captain Pernell and John, to all the friendly staff at Hotel The Champs. Pernell has been studying these whales for years and it shows, he did a fantastic job of sharing these gentle giants with us! If you are plant-based, your food options will be a bit more limited, so just come prepared with snacks or being able to adjust. Lise and her staff did a wonderful job helping accommodate me. If you're able to swing it, I highly recommend arriving a day early to recoup from the travel so you can be well rested for day 1. Also if you get car sick easily, I recommend taking something before the taxi ride. This was my 2nd trip with Just the Wild, and Caine has been the expedition leader for both trips I have done. Caine is an enthusiastic adventurer! He is extremely knowledgeable about being on the water, boats, and really all things ocean and marine life. Having originally stumbled across his website from a random google search a few years back, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made to book with his business. He is the real deal, and prioritizes your safety and respect for the animals. The best for the last, the Sperm Whales...they're sure fun to look at! Like watching a submarine swimming towards you, but also kind of reminds you of a T-Rex with those small pectoral fins. As with any wild animal, the more still you are, often the better experience you will have. LISTEN TO CAINE!!! (Or whoever is leading). Some trips you see a lot of them, and others you might only see them a few days. I have experienced both cases, and if its the latter, its a wild one day story that you will never forget! There is truly nothing more magical that I have ever experienced, than when a whale chooses to come closer to you, and you get to look eye to eye for a brief moment in time.
