Dominica's waters host numerous whale populations, and so whale watching can be a truly exciting excursion.

So far, 22 different species of whales and dolphins have been identified in the island's waters, including a 59 foot sperm whale and some pretty large migratory singing humpbacked whales, which have two blowholes on the top of their heads forming a balloon-shaped spout. You may get lucky and see both on the same day.

Whale watching trips cost US$50 for adults and half that for children under the age of twelve. This price includes refreshments and you are sure to have a great day out at sea. Obviously, there can be no guarantee of a sighting, but the whale watching tour operators reckon you have a 90% chance of success.
