That's a bust!

3.00Unfortunately we did not see any whales or dolphins, just 1 Brown Booby and 2 Royal Terns and 12 Flying fishes. Sometimes nature doesn't play ball but we were surprised to see practically nothing. You should be aware this can happen (15% of the time according to the crew). The crew were professional and friendly but everyone left disappointed, obviously not their fault.
Absolutely incredible experience – highly recommended!

5.00This excursion was truly amazing from start to finish. We were picked up directly at the cruise ship, which made everything super easy and convenient. From there, we were transferred by a small and very fast boat to the main vessel – already an exciting start! After about an hour at sea, we spotted our first whales, and from that moment on it only got better. At one point, we were drifting in the water with whales all around us – an unforgettable and almost surreal experience. The crew was fantastic: very friendly, funny, and at the same time highly professional. You always felt safe and well taken care of. This trip is absolutely worth it – one of the highlights of our entire journey!
Highlight of our holiday

5.00The dolphin and whale watching tour in Barbados was simply an unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized, and from the first moment you felt in good hands. The team on board was super friendly, helpful and provided a great atmosphere with a lot of enthusiasm. You have noticed that they really care about the well-being of the guests. The absolute highlight was of course the dolphins and whales – seeing these animals in the wild was simply breathtaking! A magical moment you won't forget anytime soon. Although there was no great food, but delicious snacks and enough drinks so that you were completely taken care of. I highly recommend this tour – a perfect experience and definitely a highlight of our holiday!

Orca sightings St Lucia

5.00Amazing experience. We didn't see dolphins but we did see 7 Orcas very close to the boat - swimming all around us and coming back several times. This was in the bay by the Pitons which made it even more magical. There were plenty of flying fish and diving birds which were also impressive to watch! Crew were great and there was a good choice of drinks and snacks. Highly recommend - but as always sightings can't be guaranteed! However, if you get these rare Orcas - it's very special indeed!
Amazing experience seeing wildlife in their natural environment

5.00Friendly crew and great boat trip. We saw different birds, flying fish and travelled all the way down the coast to the pitons. The most amazing highlight was seeing Orcas which is apparently very unusual here in St Lucia. Good to have a range of drinks and some fruit all included. Shout out to K.J. who was our guide for his enthusiasm alongside the spotter and captain!
Best water experience ever!!

5.00I was going on this trip expecting to see 1 dolphin maybe.,… we saw 50 -70! The crew was super fantastic. And the boat was in excellent condition. There were only 8 of us on the boat. The crew did their best to keep us out searching for whales but unfortunately not today. We were very happy to say the least. We would recommend and we have that you go on this trip, you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic!

5.00Wow, what an amazing experience. The whole trip was outstanding. We saw loads of pods of dolphins and then to get even better saw a family of Sperm whales. Two adults and two calves and then more in pairs . So magical. The crew were very knowledgeable and complimentary drinks was a nice touch. Highly recommended 10/10
