Adventure and Sightseeing

Whales in the ocean

Whale Watching

Some of nature's largest mammals make Dominica home. Dominica's sheer underwater drop-offs create deep sheltered bays–the perfect haven for the Sperm Whale to breed and calve. Dominica is the only country in the world where the sperm whale resides all year long, although sightings are most common between November and March. Boaters and fishermen report seeing the sperm whale at Scotts Head, Roseau, Layou, and Point Round. Whale watching operators follow strict codes of conduct, minimizing any disturbance, and never “luring” the whales. On the rare occasion when the whales may be elusive, you’re sure to see the acrobatics of hundreds of Spotted and Spinner Dolphins.

Bird Watching

Dozens of beautiful birds call Dominica home. One of the first things you’ll see in Dominica is a colorful Sisserou parrot right on the Dominica flag. This is the only place in the world where Sisserou and Jaco parrots are found. The Sisserou parrot is found specifically on the slopes of Morne Diablotin National Park which was established primarily to protect its prime habitat, and in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The Jaco Parrot, also known as the Red-Necked Amazon gets its common name from the red feathers found on its lowerthroat. Birding can be enjoyed throughout the year, however the peak in breeding for most species is between March and August.
