Saw lots of dolphins and sperm whales

4.00It was a really great experience. The Boat is very small so be prepared as you may get wet! The captain was great though. We saw whales and dolphins. Our boat ran out of gas on the way back, but was easily resolved with the help of another boater. It was a little rough out there the day we went so if you tend to get sea sick on the water, know that it's a possibility and there is really no way to get off the boat sooner!
Lived up to Expectations

5.00I booked Waitukubuli for a whale watching tour as part of a cruise. The tour guides were fantastic at spotting whales and we were able to see two pairs of whales (mom and calf). The guides were knowledgeable and even gave us a small tour of the coastline at the end of the tour. Would highly recommend. Efficient and professional guys.
Awesome whale watch

5.00We booked this after our cruise excursion was cancelled. We had no regrets! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw 3 sperm whales and a pod of pilot whales.
Fantastic Tour!

5.00The whale watching tour was outstanding! Tiffany picked us up at our resort and was on time, professional and positive! Our "whale whisperer" on the boat was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable about the whales and we saw at least 5 different whales! It was incredible! Highly recommend this company and this tour! Each interaction with booking, transport and the tour itself was top notch!
It's a MUST excursion for St Thomas!

Ups and downs with whales

5.00The experience ended up very well. The boat had mechanical difficulties and we had to push back a day. The boat was still on the fritz the following day but they rented a boat from another company. I am not sure that means the tour was with them or the other company but either way, they lived up to my expectations and we saw many sperm whales.
SAY YES TO THIS TOUR COMPANY :)

5.00Fantastic tours — highly recommend Waitukubuli Tours We had two amazing experiences with Waitukubuli Tours while visiting Dominica and would absolutely book with them again. Our island day tour with Tiffany was a highlight of our trip. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and quickly became a fast friend. We were traveling with our 19-month-old, and the company even provided a car seat, which made the day much easier. Tiffany took us to Trafalgar Falls, the Botanical Gardens, and several incredible lookout points, sharing tons of history and local insight along the way. We also did their whale watching tour. Even though we didn’t see whales that day, we saw dozens of dolphins — including babies — swimming alongside the boat, which was magical. The bottomless rum punch didn’t hurt either. Our toddler joined us for everything and had an absolute blast. When we come back to Dominica, we will 100% book with Waitukubuli again.
Whale Watching in Dominica is a must

5.00This is a must activity in Dominica where you will see all different types of whales, especially the resident Sperm Whale.
Once in a lifetime experience!

5.00Everything was great! We saw the whales, and overall it was a beautiful experience. The only thing I didn’t really like was the communication with the guide, as he was a bit impolite. But since the main goal was accomplished, we just didn’t pay much attention and enjoyed the moment hahaha.
Very well organised and highly recommended!

5.00The trip was very well organised, with just the right number of people and the right amount of time to not feel crowded or rushed. I cannot believe how amazing it was to see the whales and we had lots of time to absorb the experience. It was lovely to see the dolphins as they chased our boat and again, the Captain took time to loop the boat round for us to see them again. The views of Dominica on the return trip are spectacular. It was just an amazing experience.
