Depart from White Sands Beach Hotel aboard a spacious 27-foot (8-meter) power catamaran and set out on your whale-watching expedition with a crew of knowledgeable guides! The humpback whales found around Salt Cay and Grand Turk are part of a 4,000-strong North Atlantic herd that migrate south from Cape Cod and spend winters in the warm tropical waters of the Turks Islands.
Your guides are experienced at using the latest technology for tracking the whales, which require patience to find and approach without scaring away. You’ll benefit from your guides’ vast knowledge and expertise as you spot these magnificent sea mammals and learn to document their behavior. You may even get the chance to see a mother and calf in only 20 feet (6 meters) of water. (While spotting whales is common, it is not guaranteed during your expedition.)
The female humpback whale, the largest of the species, ranges in length from 40-45 feet (12-14 meters) long, while the male grows between 36-41 feet (11-12.5 meters) long. Humpback calves, 6-10 feet (2-3 meters) long and weighing 1,000 pounds (453 kilos) at birth, feed three times daily, consuming 80 gallons (302 liters) of their mother’s milk.
