Whale watching is the island’s version of a spectator sport.
Dominica is the only place in the world where the sperm whale may be seen all year. However, sightings are most prevalent between November and March. A short boat journey puts you into contact with the world's biggest toothed mammal in the calm blue Caribbean Sea. Boaters and fishermen have reported spotting the sperm whale near Scotts Head, Roseau, Layou, and Point Round. Whale watching operators adhere to stringent norms of conduct, minimizing any disruption and never "luring" the whales. Even if the whales are elusive, you will almost certainly see the acrobatics of hundreds of spotted and spinner dolphins.
Sperm whales pick Dominica's seas as their sole year-round habitat, so the chances of seeing one on any trip — whenever, anywhere — are fairly strong. Dolphins and whales reside quite near to shore regardless of the weather. However, the ideal season is November through March. Choose a qualified guide—they're practically whale whisperers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and to be clear, Dominica is the only place on the globe where sperm whales may be found all year. That is an unexpected fact!
You can reserve a room at the Balaji Palace in Playa Grande. There's a private beach in a fantastic location for magnificent sunsets, and if you're feeling energetic, a variety of sports such as whale watching, sea fishing, horseback riding, and golf will keep you occupied. Whale watching is one of the things about Dominica you should know and experience.
