Swimming with Whales! - Me and five friends chartered the boat for a half day whale watching tour. We had 5 separate whale encounters. On 3 occasions we got into the water. The first time, Mama and baby were moving too fast and we didn’t see them. The 2nd time, we had about 30 seconds directly over the mama. We thought that was about as good as it gets. Our guide Rosalee said let’s give it one more try. Our 3rd time in the water was a life changing experience! We spent over 15 mins swimming with a baby whale! It was almost like she wanted to play!! Twisting and turning and at times we were less than 3 feet away. Mama stayed about 15 feet below us. The three person crew Abraham, Dimitri and Rosalee were super accommodating and really wanted to make sure we had a good experience!! They absolutely delivered! Thank you OceanVibes

The RIGHT way to do whale watching - I spent some time in Grand Turk and went both whale watching and snorkeling with the whales with Ocean Vibes. I am so impressed by how, ethical, educational, and focused on the whales this team is. Jamie and Rosalie would teach throughout the expedition and take special note to quiet everything down as we approached the whales. Everyone should experience this, I cannot reiterate it enough. I’m definitely planning a trip back this next year and I look forward to seeing the Ocean Vibes crew again.

Great staff and boat. Most responsive company. - We had a great time on the tour. The boat was fast and roomy. The marine biologist guides, Rosalie and Jamie, were knowledgeable and helpful. We saw four pairs of mothers and babies, the fourth pair swimming with an escort. At the second sighting, we were able to get into the water and swim with the whales. Ocean Vibes was the most responsive tour company and helped us book the tour in spite of limited availability.

Incredible, authentic experience! - The crew and naturalist did an amazing job! We saw several whales - mom and calf pairs, competition males, and even heard a singer! Listening to whale song live, in person, was once in a lifetime! Words cannot adequately describe the adventure Ocean Vibes provided, the care and awe the crew had with whales - even though they see them every day!! Our boat even stopped to pick up debris that was a definite entanglement danger! Could not give a higher recommendation - one of the most authentic experiences, for islanders and tourist alike!!

Trip of a lifetime - We went on a whale, watching tour with Rosalie and Jamie and the crew. It was absolutely amazing the best decision we have ever made to try this. Their crew is very informative, and very educational of the Wales and how they migrate. We will definitely be going back to Grand Turk and doing this again, especially when they have people on staff like that.
