Sperm whales are the largest predator on earth, reaching up to 70 feet/21 meters long, and weighing 60 tons. They are bright as well, and have the largest brain in the animal kingdom. Perhaps most notable – and incredible to witness – is their ability to take a deep dive.
When breaching, they can dive more than 6,000 feet/2,000 m deep to hunt in the dark with echolocation for their favorite and abundant food source – large and giant squid. What is equally amazing is that they can stay down there for close to an hour!
Dominica – Caribbean Sea. Direct 3 hour flight from Miami will get you into this pristine island. Amazing freediving, top hotel and incredible interactions.
Mauritius – Indian Ocean. Accessible via Dubai and other airports. This place has amazing nature, basic but clean accommodation, surfing, freediving and some of the friendliest Sperm whales.

I was about to say that I just got back from the best holiday of my life but that would offend the whales in Tonga. I can’t decide. My heart is broken – again, leaving those beautiful ocean creatures behind.
