Capt. Beanz was a terrific guide & pilot. He gave us a thorough narration of what we could see then proceeded to take us to pods of pilot whales, dolphins, sperm whales & their babies. We learned so much. He also had terrific music & shared Tiffany's delicious homemade rum punch. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Capt. Beanz. Thanks, Capt.
Not a lucky day for us but great experience

We weren't lucky enough to see whalespr dolphins unfortunately. With them being wild animals you can't predict how it will go. Our captain however was really good and tried his best to locate for us. The boat ride was brilliant, it's very bumpy and fast so wouldn't recommend for people with health complaints and back pain but it was a really exhilarating experience. We looked at caves where we spotted bats and along the shoreline where the captain explained to us about the volcanic formations, activity & mining which was interesting. The rum punch is the best in the Carribbean also 🙌🏼
Mr Beanz knows his stuff

Only 12 on the boat which was so much better than the bigger boats we saw .. mr Beanz really knew his stuff knew instinctively where the whales were , we saw lots, saw the deep dives with tail coming out the water The whole boat said was so worth the trip Book it !!

We saw two sperm whales. Was it interesting? Well... yes. Is it the most exciting experience in Dominica? No. The staff was very experienced and caring. Thanks to all of them! Tiffany you are the best! Why 4 stars not 5? Because of the exact tour. It took us 3 hours and the bigger part of the tour was..... looking at the sea water.
Fantastic trip

Mr Beanz was a fantastic host and shared his passion and knowledge. We were fortunate to have many close encounters with Sperm Whales and a huge pod of Spotted Dolphins. 10/10.
Amazing sea trip

Wonderful experience, we saw sperm whales and dolphins. Captain Beanz was very informative and very respectful of them, making sure not to get too close, but near enough that we could see them clearly. He was also very knowledgeable and gave us loads of information. We thank him for a great trip and recommend it to anyone visiting Dominica.

Booked the afternoon tour and they wound up moving us to the morning. Not sure why they have both options listed if they force everyone to one tour anyway. Site stated we'd be picked up from our hotel in Roseau and even ask for our hotel, only to be told to meet at the ferry terminal. Smaller boat, didn't have much access to shade other than two seats right in front of the captain. Accessibility was not easy to get on the boat either, having to jump down in from the pier. Being on the water was lovely. They do explain about the whales but not much else. Would have been nice to hear a bit about the places we were passing or history of the island. Took about three hours to just find the whales and the first one got spooked and we had to find her again when she resurfaced. Very cool to see and we did get the infamous tail flip too, which was great! I admired the diligence of the captain and 1st mate to find them.

Let me start off by saying that the guides were great, however, the type of boat used to do the whale watching tours is a bit lacking. They use a centre console boat with a very SMALL canopy for the captain. That means that the guest have no sun protection. We spent 4 hours baking in the midday sun with no reprieve. It gets uncomfortable real quick 🔥. All I wish is for the boat have a bigger canopy.
