SILVER BANK, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

February 13th - 20th, 2010

“Humpback whales”

Allow yourself the opportunity of a lifetime to snorkel with Humpback whales in one of the most pristine places on Earth. We will practice yoga at dawn and sunset: focusing on the development of our emotional energy and the silence of the mind. This will be our access to communicating with the whales.

Description

The Silver Bank is located approximately 60 miles off the Dominican Republic coast, approximately half way to Turks & Caicos Islands.

This region has the largest population of humpback whales in the North Atlantic, if not the world. From 3 to 5 thousand whales migrate through this area during the months of December through April.

Over 3 thousand whales visit these waters to procreate their offspring, which allows people to observe the behaviour of these marine mammals.

We immerse ourselves in this 7-day expedition aboard the M/V Nekton Rorqual, in search of whales that exhibit certain behaviours that allow us to swim with them. Frequently we can observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat from the ship’s deck.
