Aquatic Fauna Sanctuaries Commonwealth of Dominica: Whale Watching

Short Overview

Dominica's sheer underwater drop-offs create deep sheltered bays along its western coastline–the perfect haven for the Sperm Whale to breed and calve.

Dominica is the only country in the world where the Sperm Whale resides year-round, although sightings are most common between November and March. Just a short boat ride brings you into contact with the world's largest-toothed animal in the calm turquoise Caribbean Sea.

On the rare occasion when the whales may be elusive, you’re sure to see the acrobatics of hundreds of Spotted and Spinner Dolphins.
