Dominica - 10 Best Whale Watching Destinations Around The World

Scuba divers already know this remote Caribbean island thanks to its brilliant coral reefs, magnificent sea life, and bubbling underwater hot springs. But the island recently earned a new title, of "Whale Watching Capital of the Caribbean," which launched this eco-friendly destination to a whole new level. Set between Martinique and Guadeloupe, and often visited by 40-ton whales, who like to socialize, mate, and play off its shores, a boat excursion from Dominica promises a 90-percent chance of spotting one up close. The waters are particularly partial to sperm, killer (both "false killers" and orcas), and pigmy whales, which are most often seen on whale-watching adventures between late November and March. That said, many also like to hang around all year long. cont./
