Dominica is the only country in the world where the sperm whale resides all year long. Just a short boat ride brings you into contact with the world's largest toothed animal in the calm turquoise Caribbean Sea.
Whale watching operators follow strict codes of conduct, minimizing any disturbance, and never “luring” the whales. On the rare occasion when the whales may be elusive, you’re sure to see the acrobatics of hundreds of Spotted and Spinner Dolphins. Also Humpbacks Whales,Pilot Whales and other whales have been seen during our Cruises.

50/50 experience. May or May not see whales.

3.00The guides were absolutely amazing however this is a give/take type of experience. We did not see any whales or dolphins so it was partially a waste. Nature is truly fickle so beware.
Amazing time whale & dolphin watching!

5.00I had an amazing time on our whale and dolphin watching tour. We saw a large pod of dolphins playing alongside the boat, which was such a fun and unforgettable experience, and we were lucky enough to spot two whales surfacing in the distance. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole trip was well organized and relaxed. The boat was comfortable with plenty of space to enjoy the views and take photos. Overall, it was a really special experience and I highly recommend.
Fantastic tour!

3.00Unlike all our prior experiences with Viator, this time communication was poor. Our cruise ship had to change to the commercial port instead of the main port. I notified using the app and requested confirmation to no avail and tried calling also with no success. At 9am was told pick up was to be at 9:30 as they were picking up some folks at the other port. However, the tour had a max of 8 and all 8 boarded at 9:30 from our cruise ship. The boat captain & mate were pleasant.
Whale ahead

5.00Very well organized tour to the whales and dolphins. Pick up at the cruise terminal was on time. The care on board was professional and always for the benefit of the animals. We've seen a lot of things.
Great small boat whale watch

4.00Great tour. The small boat was nice. When we found the sperm whales, we were able to get pretty close without disturbing them. I wish they would have let us hear the whale sounds. They told us they could, but did not. Warning for those with weaker stomachs, it can get pretty choppy, but the crew did a good job trying to minimize this. The rum punch was very good.
Whale look perfect

5.00Contacting Britney in advance was already very friendly. Very tried and friendly guides (one of them was Britney). It took some time to see whales - but it was beautiful. The boat tour is also a lot of fun, but is not recommended for people with back problems.
