Whales of the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

The next days will be all about whales! A Soft-In-Water encounter (the only type of swimmer interaction permitted the Sanctuary) is a low impact non-aggressive activity. Swimmers simply float calmly in the vicinity of a tolerant and cooperative whale, allowing the natural curiosity of the whale to draw them closer. You will wear a mask, snorkel and fins but no SCUBA equipment of any type is allowed. There is no active swimming or freediving, participants float quietly at the surface as a group. This relaxed, non-aggressive interaction is sensitive to the whales and their young. It is an encounter in their environment, on their terms. Because it is snorkel-only, the experience of swimming with the humpback whales is open to participants of all skill levels. However, you do need to feel comfortable in the ocean and have basic snorkeling skills. Your schedule for the next days: 7:00 AM: Breakfast 8:30–11:30 AM: Tender excursions to the whales 12:00 PM: Lunch 1:30–5:30 PM: Afternoon excursions 6:00 PM: Sundowner 7:00 PM: Dinner 8:30 PM: Lectures, films, discussions
