Itinerary
Day 1Roseau: Welcome to Dominica
As soon as the plane touches down you realize that this island is not your typical Caribbean postcard beach destination. Cross the island on a winding road through the rainforest, catching the occasional glimpse of the ocean in the distance and hearing the rush of rivers and waterfalls through the open window. We welcome you to Dominica, and invite you to prepare for incredible natural beauty and marine life encounters that will live in your memory forever.

Days 2–3Roseau: In Search of Whales
The waters surrounding Dominica are a sanctuary for a resident population of sperm whales, making the island one of the few locations in the world to encounter them. Set off in the mornings by boat along with marine and naturalist experts in search of these gentle giants for the chance to swim and snorkel with them in their natural habitat.
