A lifetime’s ambition to be in the water with humpback whales was achieved when I visited Silver Bank, 80 miles off the coast of Dominican Republic. Nothing can prepare you for the sheer size of these magnificent creatures but what struck me most was how gentle and graceful they were. I observed several mother and calf interactions and the tender care exhibited by the mothers was human like. I first booked this trip 5 years ago and it was cancelled twice by Covid... but it was definitely worth the wait.
