HUMPBACK SNORKELING

Humpback whales snorkelling in the Turks and Caicos

Background
Every year, after spending the winter gorging in the plankton-rich waters in the northern Atlantic and Arctic waters, pregnant female humpback whales migrate to the warm, shallow waters of the and Silver Banks in the Dominican Republic and Salt Cay in the Turks and Caicos. Typically originating from the vast waters surrounding north-western Europe, Greenland, Iceland, Canada and from inside the Arctic Circle, the majority of whales head for a relatively small region near the Turks and Caicos and Dominican Republic.
The attraction of this region are a few shallow banks, a perfect spot to give birth and teach their calves to breathe and swim  the long swim down to the Caribbean to give birth and to mate.
The females and their calves, and male escorts, can be found very close to the tiny island of Salt Cay. An estimated 3,000–5,000 humpback whales pass through these waters, making it the largest breeding and calving grounds in the world. The Turks and Caicos Islands are situated on a plateau that rises abruptly 10,000 feet (3048 metre) from the ocean floor. This plateau is partially split by the 6,000 foot (1830 metre) deep Turks Islands Passage which separates the Turks Islands from the Caicos Islands. Whales are naturally funnelled through this channel, and the naturally increased density of whales make Salt Cay and Grand Turk unrivalled sites for whale watching.
Once home to the finest salt marshes in the world, with a population of around 80 humans, a few dozen donkeys and one dive shop, Salt Cay is a great place to relax and unwind, staying in a charming Saltraker cottage or a seafront Salt Merchants’ house with a pool. This 6.7 sq km island is also a great place for bird watching and scuba diving. 
​We have had some exceptional in-water encounters, with up to four whales at a time, a mother, calf, and two escorts. We go out with a knowledgeable guide on three and six-hour searches. When we find some relaxed whales, we gently slip into the clear, warm water and observe them for as long as they are comfortable with. In-water encounters can last from two minutes to an hour, depending on the whales’ behaviour. Once one encounter is over, we look for the next one.
 Freediving is not permitted in the presence of the whales.
Three-hour whale watching and snorkeling trips run every morning and afternoon, and we can create a bespoke program for you combining the whales with scuba diving, reef snorkelling, and relaxation. 

Getting to Salt Cay
Flights from and to Providenciales are on Mondays and Fridays currently. Round trips cost around $200
