Dominica, the whale watching capital of the Caribbean

Dominica has gained international recognition for whale watching. Photo credit: itzcaribbean.com

One of the trickiest parts of setting up a whale-watching trip is making sure you’re in the right place at the right time.

Though fantastic whale watching spots, places such as Hermanus (South Africa) and Santa Catarina (Brazil) only witness the giant ocean-bound beasts for a small part of the year.

Dominica is great because you don’t need to time a trip to coincide with any migratory season – it’s the only country in the world around which sperm whales can be spotted all year. It’s said there’s a 90 per cent success rate for excursions around the Caribbean island.

    Seeing these majestic creatures is certainly well worth the wait out on that boat. And might I add that even if you do not see a whale on that day, the dolphins put on such a beautiful show that you’ll never leave disappointed!
