Amazing!!!😄 - The trip was amazing, we saw a humpback whale and her calf, a pilots whale pod and 2 pods of dolphins feeding. The captain knew what was doing and keeping a safe distance for the whales, specially with the humpback that had a calf, making sure not to stress her. The crew was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Deep blue waves, friendly staff and lots of dolphins - We spent three hours along a beautiful blue ocean, getting great views of the island from afar. Weather was perfect. The ship staff, including the marine expert, were very friendly and helpful. Drinks and snacks were periodically provided free of charge. We saw loads of dolphins, as well as flying fish. We didn't see any whales unfortunately. Overall, a fantastic time to spend the morning.

Exciting 😁 - Fabulous morning out just a shame the weather wasn’t great but at least we saw 2 different types of whales, dolphins and flying fish 😃. The crew were great too serving drinks and bananas, looking after everyone and sharing their knowledge of the marine life.
We went early (6.40) on the bus from Rodney bay 5 EC then walked past the pyramid near the cruise ship, followed the road/track to the main road opposite to the runway, turn left and and look out for the whale/ dolphin watching sign. We made it for about 7.15 far cheaper than a taxi at 30 US!

Amazing experience - This was an amazing boat tour. We saw Pilot whales, sperm whales & rough-toothed dolphins! The water was quite choppy when were there so a couple of people did feel a bit unwell, but the crew were extremely kind and helpful & knowledgeable about the whales and dolphins. Thank you so much for a memorable experience, we really loved it!

Great morning on the boat - The crew was amazing, very knowledgeable. We saw whales 😊. Did not get to see dolphins. You can see flying fish in front of the boat. Crew served us water, soft drinks and beer. Boat was not overcrowded and everyone got a seat with great views. Would recommend.

10/10 - saw whales and dolphins! What a fantastic experience! - Wow. What an experience! To actually see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, felt so lucky! We were lucky to see hundreds of Fraser dolphins, pilot whales and so many flying fish!! Honestly was a beautiful experience! I will mention to anyone who may get motion sickness, please take something for it! I don't usually get seasick but the boat stopped for a short time for us to enjoy the waves of activity from our sea friends and my body did not enjoy the stop 😂 it didn't deter me from the experience, I was looked after but literally all on board and the lovely lady who was guiding us kept me topped up with ice chips which made me feel loads better! We had the best morning, would recommend to anyone who would love to see whales and/or dolphins - these guys know where to look!

Sperm whales! - My husband and I were on a small boat with only 4 other passengers plus the captain and his first mate. As we made our way out to sea, I was skeptical of our chances of seeing sperms whales. The first match placed a microphone into the water and we all had a chance to listen to the whales. After traveling a bit further out, we saw so many sperms whales! Although they are not as large or spectacular as the humpback whales, we enjoyed watching them in their watery home.

The captain and his shipmates did a lot to make sure our chances of seeing a whale and/or dolphins were maximized. And - We actually got to see two sperm whales and probably 50+ dolphins played around our boat. . It rained the entire boat ride but this didn’t bother us when we saw the beautiful sea animals. The driver of the boat knew the best places to go and also was in touch with other boats and got updates from them where the dolphins and whales were or had been spotted. He then took us there. There is of course no guarantee but one of the shipmates said they have about an 80% success rate.

Same route as other tours - 3 stars because while this wasn’t a boring tour (beautiful coastline, out on a boat, never going to be a bad time) both my partner and I felt the billing of it as a ‘whale/dolphin’ tour is hugely misleading. Aside from the slightly earlier start time, it is no different to any other tour you could do that goes down the west coast. We went out on a different snorkelling tour that literally followed the same route - same proximity to the coast, only departing 45 minutes later. The early start didn’t help our luck seeing anything (our tour was unlucky and we didn’t have any whale or dolphin sightings). Having done (successful) whale watching in other locations in the past, we were expecting to be taken much further out to sea in order to spot the wildlife. So, my advice is spend your money elsewhere where you can combine the sail with a bit of sightseeing or snorkelling and you will have just as much chance of seeing whales/dolphins as on this tour. That said, the crew were very nice, the drinks were generous, and if you are looking for a tour that avoids any other activities this was a very pleasant way to start the day.
