Whale Watching:

See, Hear, Experience Humpback Whales

Salt Cay is one of the few places in the world where you can actually get in the water and snorkel with the Humpbacks. Salt Cay is considered “Whale Headquarters” from January to March each year. Seeing one of these majestic creatures in person, whether from the boat or in the water, is the thrill of a lifetime!

Our Wind and Wave Divers whale watching excursions last approximately 2 1/2 hrs. Our staff is trained to provide education about the Humpback whales as well as allowing you the opportunity to see and learn about whale behavior. If the weather and the whales allow it, we gently slide into the water and snorkel with the whales. It is a truly unforgettable experience!

Salt Cay is directly in front of Columbus Passage where the Atlantic Humpbacks migrate to the Silver Banks, between the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Dominican Republic, to mate and calve. When scuba diving and snorkeling you can hear the mesmerizing songs from the Humpbacks. The beautiful songs assist them with their navigation. Snorkeling with these huge whales during frequent “in-water encounters” is truly an awe inspiring experience. You can get an excellent view from the boat if you don’t want to get in the water with them.

Salt Cay is one of the last places in the world where you can actually swim with these magnificent creatures. We cannot guarantee the whales will be passing by on any given day, but we’ll do everything to make sure you have an adventuresome holiday.
