Itinerary
From January to March, the waters come alive with the presence of majestic humpback whales and their baby calves. Humpbacks migrate down to the warm Caribbean waters from Newfoundland each year to have their babies. After birth the slowly migrate north stopping along the coast island of the Turks and Caicos Islands teaching their babies to dive and feed. Truly majestic. Although sightings are NOT for certain or guaranteed we have a good idea they are out there. ¾ or full day option only. Please note that we do NOT allow snorkeling or scuba diving near the whales as they are teaching the calves how to feed and dive and the mothers can become aggressive. The government has provided strict guidelines that we must adhere to in order to protect them. The captain will leave the marina and head East at a trolling speed towards North Caicos. Your mate will provide a wonderful commentary of the history of the various islands and point out various land features all the while scouting for whales. We monitor the radio for sighting reports as well. Once we reach Three Mary Cays ( ask about the legend) the Captain will turn around and head towards the Northwest Point of Providenciales. Please remember sightings are not guaranteed. If after 4 hours you wish to switch and want to go snorkeling on the reef please advise the Captain prior to going out to ensure the gear is aboard.
