This Caribbean Island Offers a Once-in-a-Lifetime Wildlife Experience
In the warm, cobalt waters just off the coast of Dominica—a mountainous Caribbean island often called the "Nature Island"—a rare and intimate encounter awaits. Here, nearly 200 sperm whales live year-round, making this one of the few places on Earth where humans can reliably find, and even swim alongside, the planet's largest toothed predator. Whale-watching operators take visitors to areas where the whales are commonly sighted, but for those looking to get to know these large creatures in a more intimate way, tour company Untold Story Travel offers something extraordinary: the chance to observe and, when conditions allow, enter the water with these calm, colossal creatures in their vast and wild ocean home. The company's six-day experience, called Diving with Sperm Whales, gives travelers several chances to see, photograph, and swim with sperm whales. The experience includes a dedicated skipper and guide, who analyze the weather and movements of resident sperm whales, which can be hard to find since they are known to dive to depths of 1,000 meters (over 3,280 feet). The resident whales can often be found in the sheltered bays along Dominica's western coastline where they like to breed and calve. If conditions are right, guests may slip quietly into the water and come face-to-face with a creature that can reach 50 feet in length. The whales often appear unbothered, turning gently toward swimmers or drifting by in slow, graceful passes. For many, swimming with a whale is a deeply humbling experience, a moment of connection where scale, sound, and silence all take on new dimensions. While the sperm whales live off the coast of Dominica year-round, they are most commonly seen between November and April, with the highest odds in November, February, and March. The Diving with Sperm Whales experience has an educational component. Local researchers and conservationists share the island's long-term sperm whale studies and each booking contributes to the CETI Project and the island's marine resources division, which conduct marine research and lead protection efforts. The six-day Diving with Sperm Whales experience starts at $9,000 per person. Inquiries can be made at:

China's first Legoland opens to tourists in Shanghai
Thousands of local tourists poured into China's first-ever Legoland as it opened its gates in Shanghai on Saturday, the latest theme park hoping to capitalise on a domestic tourism boom. The Chinese branch of the British-owned theme park franchise is the biggest Legoland in the world. It drew in early customers who flocked to attractions including a miniature train ride and a dragon-themed rollercoaster. "I personally love to play with Lego blocks and we have many sets at home... so I wanted to come to Legoland at the earliest opportunity," said Shi, a 35-year-old resident of nearby city Hangzhou, who was visiting the park with his wife and child. Despite the Chinese economy's sluggish growth in recent years, domestic tourist spending grew 18.6 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to the previous year, according to statistics. "Ever since the pandemic, I've made very few trips abroad," said Shi, adding his family now travels to theme parks around China "many times a year". Eager Lego fans rushed into the park as soon as it opened, wearing themed shirts and waving branded flags as they enjoyed the 318,000-square-metre (78.5-acre) compound in scorching temperatures. Beijing has announced subsidies intended to make travelling within the country more affordable for Chinese citizens, and is pushing local governments to heavily market their attractions on social media. Companies have taken note of the wider local tourism boom and stepped up their plans in China. A new "Spider-Man" attraction at Shanghai Disneyland broke ground in May, while Warner Brothers is set to open a Harry Potter experience in Shanghai by 2027. Toy giant Hasbro said this week its giant Peppa Pig park in the city was now "in the phase of creative design". Chinese collectable toy maker Pop Mart has also opened an attraction in Beijing featuring life-sized versions of its popular Labubu toys. "The various provinces are putting a lot of effort into expanding their tourism industries, and all of them have special attractions," said Xu, a 34-year-old parent visiting Legoland on Saturday with his children. But profitability remains a problem, especially for local companies with less brand recognition. As of late 2024, around 40 percent of parks were still failing to turn a profit, according to state media reports. Yet analysts point to a growing population of retirees and job market changes as key factors pushing more locals to visit domestic attractions. "The labour market is turning more flexible," said Ernan Cui, China consumer analyst at Gavekal Research. "More people have leisure time to travel around." tjx/jfx Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
