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.

OPERATOR: PH Whale Watch Dominica.

We weren't picked up at the meeting point. After we went to the ferry terminal, the boat left without us. After contact with the service staff we were told despite confirmed ticket that there was no booking - not recommended.

Very nice boat tour in small round. With the whale sightings it unfortunately did not work but is just nature.
Whale-worth it! 🤓

This was a great experience and time well spent while on vacation. We traveled about 3 miles offshore and after searching for about 1 hour, we saw them - sighting after sighting of beautiful whales. This is a “must do” activity at least once in a lifetime in my opinion. Our captain and his first mate were awesome guides and ensured we were comfortable and had the information needed on the whales. Thank you PH Whales for a great experience!

Employees tried several locations to find whales but we never did find any. Plenty of dolphin sitings. Employees provided bottled water and rum. On one occasion the boat would not start for a few minutes. Upon return to dock had to wait approximately 15 minutes to tie up as visitors for the weekend celebrations were blocking the area and would not move. This was out of the control of the company. Security officers had to get involved. Our concern was getting back to the cruise ship on time.
Perfect day

We absolutely loved this! It was a beautiful boat ride to see the gorgeous coast of Dominica and then we saw sperm whales, dolphins and flying fish! Brittany and Ceelo were great hosts and we had a blast. Thanks so much!

If you like small groups and good people, don’t look any further—book with these guys. They’re respectful of the wildlife and really know their stuff. We saw dolphins, three whales, and even flying fish. I’d go back any day!

Great service and attitude: The crew did a great job of giving a great experience. They communicate well with other companies and boats out on the water, in a group effort to try to locate the whales and give people a good experience. PH Whales was even willing to go up the coast to find the whales that were spotted closer to Portsmouth. That was a time commitment on their part. We saw whales and had a great experience. I would highly recommend this company. Smaller boat: I did not have any sea sickness problem, but if you are super sensitive to motion, take motion sickness medicine because this is a smaller boat and movement on the water is going to be felt more than on a bigger boat. Sun: The boat has a canopy top to cover you from the sun, but take plenty of sunscreen anyway. Tip them, please: I love to travel and have great experiences. Please tip the crew. Only 50% of our boat tipped them. That's awful and lacks travel common sense and courtesy.
