We love World Nomads because they are dedicated to promoting responsible travel and have a give back program to support charities around the world.
6 days of swimming with the whales. Each day we will go out for a 5 hours to meet the whales. The whales are often found within minutes of leaving the island. We will spend as much time as possible with the whales. We practice respectful, responsible whale watching practices, always give the whales the choice and control over our encounters.
Besides the gentle Humpback whales, it is very likely we will also see Spinner and Roughtooth dolphins and even Pilot whales, if possible, we will swim with them too. Near our hotel is a beautiful coral reef where we can swim with friendly stingrays and harmless reef sharks too!
