WATERSPORTS
Ocean Kayaks are available for rent from dive Castaways. Enjoy a cruise up and down the coast of Dominica. Take snorkeling gear along with you and check out your own, private snorkeling sports along the lee shore. The sit on top design kayaks make it easy to use the kayaks to access these nice spots and private beaches along the way. Pull the kayak up on the shore and go take dip in a fresh water river to cool off and wash the salt from the skin. A sunfish is available for short sailing excursions from the hotel. Lessons are available. The lee shore can make for some shifty winds, but that is half of the fun. Boats with captain are available to charter. If one wants to take the family for a cruise up or down the coast to a quaint seaside restaurant perhaps, or if a couple wants to do a romantic sunset cruise, it can all be easily arranged.
WHALE WATCHING
Dominica is quickly becoming known as one of the two or three hot spots in the world for watching sperm whales. Some of the sperm whales use the waters off Dominica as a year-round haven. The large, mature males, being the largest of the toothed whales and weighing up to 40 tons, migrate back to these waters during the late fall, winter and early spring months to meet the females and young males. It is during these months when we see the most socializing amongst the animals. It is a site to behold. Incredibly large animals 30 - 50 feet in length, vocalizing, hanging in vertical positions, writhing their bodies together.
