Description

Gain a deeper understanding of the whales and dolphins that inhabit the surrounding seas by cruising on a boat equipped with hydrophones that allow you to hear them communicate. Dominica is one of the best places in the Caribbean for encounters with cetaceans, the family of marine creatures that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. While cruising the waters off Dominica, you may spot humpback and sperm whales breaching the water’s surface and pods of playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat. It will be thrilling to watch these magnificent marine creatures in their natural environment and just as exciting to listen in on their underwater communication through the onboard hydrophones. You may hear large-toothed sperm whales communicating through clicking sounds and hear dolphins “speak” through clicks and whistles. A guide will be on hand to explain this fascinating aspect of cetacean life and answer other questions you may have about whales and dolphins.
