Dominica

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% chance of spotting one up close. The waters are particularly partial to sperm, killer, and pigmy whales, which are most often seen between late November and June. That said, many also like to hang around all year long.
