The deep waters off Dominica are home to nearly 200 resident sperm whales. These whales live in Dominica year round, in the warm, crystal-clear waters. Our trips take a maximum of six clients, offering more intimate experiences with these whales. We consider Dominica the absolute best place in the world to see sperm whales in the water.  

This trip is done on snorkel. Freediving is permitted when whales are sleeping.

Minimum bookings is 4 pax for the trip to run.  3 people are permitted to swim with the whales at one time.

Ocean Oasis Hotel

Set directly on the Caribbean Sea in Castle Comfort, Ocean Oasis Hotel Dominica is a stylish new oceanfront retreat just minutes from Roseau. With only 38 rooms, the hotel offers a relaxed, intimate atmosphere and a beautiful waterfront setting—an ideal base for our sperm whale expedition.

The spacious, contemporary guest rooms feature air conditioning, modern bathrooms, comfortable furnishings, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and private balconies or patios. Many rooms enjoy spectacular ocean views and sunsets over the Caribbean Sea.

Guests can unwind beside the outdoor swimming pool, enjoy a drink at the poolside bar or dine at Tide & Table, the hotel’s waterfront restaurant serving Caribbean-inspired dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients. A 24-hour fitness center is also available.

One of the hotel’s greatest advantages is its private dock, allowing us to depart for our whale-swimming days directly from the property. There is no need for a daily road transfer—guests can simply walk from their rooms to the boat each morning.

Ocean Oasis combines contemporary comfort, warm Dominican hospitality and an exceptional waterfront location, making it the perfect place to relax between days spent searching for and swimming with Dominica’s resident sperm whales.
