Whale and dolphin watching in Dominica is an exhilarating experience for nature and animal enthusiasts. Our tours are typically conducted on smaller vessels, either 25, 29 or 36 feet in length. However, we also offer the option of a luxury catamaran for an even more spectacular adventure. Cruising through the warm Caribbean waters aboard one of our luxury catamarans will undoubtedly enhance this memorable experience. Dominica, a wild and enchanting paradise in the Caribbean, offers not only marine adventures but also rich interior explorations. Adding a whale and dolphin watching tour to your itinerary is a must for any adventure plan.

5.00Everything worked out fine. Unfortunately, we could not see anything except a drifting tree trunk and a few flying fish but this fate was shared by all boats on this day.
Make Sure You Can Tolerate A Bumpy Ride

3.00The boats are undersized for a whale watching trip and need to be longer and broader of beam particularly since all the whales we saw were on the Atlantic side of the island in very rough seas. Very tough for all passengers to see the whales and try to get positioned to take pictures. Our captain was young but knowledgeable and helpful. Also strong enough to provide lifting assistance to a handicapped person despite the boat not being handicapped accessible or handicap friendly. Not recommended for seriously handicapped people, those who are not comfortable on a 22’ boat with 6 foot beam that rocks a lot, and those who require toilet facilities.
Worthwhile

5.00Captain Bean was able to show us a lot of whales, even if we had to be a little patient. Recently we were finally able to bring dolphins with whales together on the picture.There were stories and facts about whales. There was Rumpunch on board.I am very pleased.Would recommend it.We were 12 people on board.
Whale Watching was amazing

5.00The staff is very professional assisted in every step of the way and made the experience enjoyable. The boat captain was fun and knowledgeable, brought us straight to the whales and at the end of the tour dropped us right next to the ship. Great experience, on a small boat with very few people, I am sure we would have not enjoyed it as much in one of the catamarans packed with customers fighting for a spot where they could actually see the whales.
Don’t miss the chance to see these animals!!

5.00Outrageously good! We saw many sperm whales and were told all about their behaviour. It was breathtaking. We also saw lots of dolphins! This tour was incredible.

5.00We really enjoyed our whale watching excursion with Captain Jeff and Mikael. We had beautiful weather and saw approximately 10 Sperm whales, one looked to be a baby! Our guides were very knowledgeable about whales, and had amazing vision to be able to spot the whales off in the distance. We would highly recommend.
Definitely a trip to do!

5.00We had an amazing time on this trip. We didn’t see whales but several pods of dolphins and flying fish. Just to be on a speedboat/ drink rum punch while listening to reggae music /swim off the boat-fantastic!! Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and really made this a special experience.
This is the company you want to go with!

5.0010/10 recommend this company for your whale watching experience in Dominica. We went with our 3 small children and couldn’t have had a better experience. Hubert was incredibly responsive on the logistics side and the captain and crew were fantastic aboard our trip. Not to mention that we had great luck swimming with the whales and seeing hundreds of dolphins!
Awesome

5.00Best excursion of our trip! Saw a lot of whales and leaned a lot of info. Captain Beans is the BEST! We even listened to the whales communicate with underwater microphone device.
Wonderful afternoon on the water

5.00Our cruise ship was late getting into port but Tiffany at Waitukbuli Tours kept in touch with me and we were able to take the tour with no problems. We saw dolphins but unfortunately no whales which is the expectation that everyone should have when doing something like this. It’s a big ocean and we don’t control it. The weather was er time speeding across the water, and enjoyed the tour of the island as we headed back to the ship. And the rum punch, made by Tiffany, was superb!
