Dance With Whales

Dance With Whales www.dancewithwhales.com Dance with Whales is dedicated to getting people into the water and connecting with the amazing wildlife that surrounds us.

Join underwater photographer Karim Iliya in French Polynesia, swimming with humpback whales; in Dominica, encountering s***m whales; and in Mexico, marveling at the breathtaking Mobula rays. Swimming with humpback whales, s***m whales, marlins, sea lions, and a plethora of other animals is a transformative experience. We strive to share this experience in an intimate, respectful, and engaging way.

We are running trips in Tonga, French Polynesia, Dominica, and Mexico. Depending on your trip, we will spend 6-8 days in the water swimming and snorkeling accompanied by one of our trip leaders. Meals, airport transfer, and accommodation are included in price. (airfare is not, though we will help advise you through the booking process.) Visit our website for more information www.dancewithwhales.com.
