What an amazing trip! Our guide, Cassie, was organized, creative and enthusiastic! Our group, while diverse in age and backgrounds, became collaborative and cohesive under her guidance. What an amazing birthday to swim with the whales and this group! A+ experience!

This was my second trip with Dance With Whales, and I will continue to support them and recommend them to anyone interested in expeditions with whales. My previous trip with humpbacks was incredible, with perfect weather and whale interactions that far exceeded my expectations. My recent trip offered amazing encounters with sperm whales (and dolphins) in Dominica. Even though we weren't able to find whales everyday, the experience was magical (including many beautiful places to explore in the afternoons). DWW's dedication to animal welfare and ethical interactions is unmatched. Karim and his team, as well as the local guides they work with, are consistently the best in the industry. I deeply appreciate the effort DWW takes to develop strong relationships with local guides/boat captains, small hotels, and transport services. The depth of these relationships and dedication to finding safe, ethical, and talented people to work with does not go unnoticed, and enhances the quality and experience of each trip.

This was a magical trip. No photo or video does the whales justice. We had a great group. The staff at the Champs were so nice. Our guide , Cassi, was so informative and very fun to be with.

Hard to sum it up in words but my experience with Dancing with Whales in French Polynesia was really remarkable and is at the top of the list of many dive and adventure trips I've ever done. From the get-go, Karim, made everyone feel comfortable, welcome, and excited in our group. The experience was wholly authentic and just what I was looking for from start to end. His knowledge of the whales, great travel stories, calm presence, and clear passion for what he does added to the experience. Of course, his photography is top-notch and he gave the group some amazing shots from our week! The local team on the boat and in the water were absolutely amazing and deserve a shoutout as well. Manutea and Igor were so friendly, quite hilarious, and made sure the entire group was safe in the water while consistently putting us in the best position to find and swim with the whales. They were so much fun to be around, made each day that much more enjoyable, and I'm thankful for what they shared about Rurutu with us! The whales themselves.....wow. It was pretty awe-inspiring and humbling to be in the water with something so substantial yet so gentle and graceful. We had a curious, chunky Mammone and his Mom who we swam with all week, saw a whale baby romp around us, saw multiple whales at once, and generally had amazing experiences in the water. It’s hard to describe being in the natural environment of such incredible animals and one of the most incredible things was that we were often the only boat in the water which lent it itself to being one of the most unique, authentic, and amazing wildlife encounters I've ever had. I can’t recommend Dancing with Whales and Karim enough. Book it with confidence and get ready for an amazing trip.
