A whalewatching trip was offered as an optional activity for Day 6. In the event, almost all the members of the group chose to go on this trip. We drove just outside Roseau and boarded a
well-equipped boat used for diving tours as well as whalewatching. We sailed along the coast for a couple of hours, pausing at intervals with engines off while our captain listened with a hydrophone for whale or dolphin
sounds. Unfortunately, nothing was heard or seen of either whales or dolphins and we had to give up and return to port - disappointed of course, but we had been warned that there was no guarantee of seeing anything. The day was not wasted, however, as we still had time to do some sightseeing around Roseau. |
