About this trip

There are only two or three places in the world where you can swim with these amazing whales. Dominica in the Caribbean is one of the best, and to keep it that way the government has a strict permitting process.


We have been granted multiple 5 day permits to take guests to swim with the largest carnivore on the planet. 


No SCUBA certification needed.


We will be running multiple sessions to Dominica 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 get up to 8 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

        - Spinner, bottlenose,  and spotted Dolphins

        - Pilot whales
