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.

5.00We 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

5.00Our 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!
Great experience

4.00We did this trip as a family. We had a lot of fun and joy with the dolphins. The whales were a bit late. But then it started. At a monkey's pace, the boatmaster raced across the waves. After a short time we were soaking wet from head to toe. Since there was no way to hold on to the boat, my seatmate kept slipping off the seat while I kept hitting my seat hard. The bruises can also be seen after ten days. The whale then waited for us much to our delight. The return journey was similarly exhausting. In conclusion, what was promised, namely seeing dolphins and whales, was kept. A little consideration would have been nice.

2.00Unfortunately no whales... But that nobody can help it. Nice staff. Organization to review: abusive transfer at 160€ for 2 times 25 km and more waiting than boat. Arrival on site at 8:40 for a departure at 10:00, we were waiting for people.. And on the way back, we waited 40 minutes for the taxi!
A really good will watching adventure

5.00Our guide was very informative, and we found whales. Had to go about seven miles out, but it was a very smooth ride and a sunny day. He taught us a lot about them
Fantastic day with whales and dolphins!

5.00Captain Jeff and the crew at Waitukubuli were spectacular! We had a beautiful day to search for the dolphins and whales, and the team was able to put us on both!! We had a small group, and all of us, including Captain Jeff and team were equally excited to spend a great amount of time with both the dolphins and a group of 4 female whales and a baby. Could not have asked for a better day on the water - truly breathtaking. Would recommend Waitukubuli for a very memorable cruise excursion or day on the water in Dominica!
