Fantastic! - Capt. Jeff and Mickael were both knowledgeable and super friendly. They used a hydrophone to locate Sperm whales and took us right to them. Along the way we flying fish and brown boobies. We watched first one pod breathing at the surface before diving, and then moved to second location where the pod had calves. One of the babies swam right up to the boat to get a better look at us. 10/10 - this is a must do!

Fishing and Whale Watching - We did a private fishing and whale watching trip with Captain Jeff and his cousin Captain Mikhail aboard Morning Glory. We were catching snapper close to shore, waiting for friends to share information on the location of whales. After about two hours, we got a tip on sperm whales, about 9 miles offshore. We pulled up the lines, and headed that way. When we got there, not a whale in sight. So, they were like, sorry, they must have headed further out. We’ll head closer to shore, trolling for fish on the way in. After about thirty minutes, we hit the jackpot, we ran into about 20 pilot whales, they hung around for about an hour. It was incredible. What made it even better was to see how excited the captains were, they have been doing this for years and still love what they do. It was amazing trip. After the whales left, we started fishing again, and pulled in a ton of fish near a seaweed mass in the ocean. I would definitely recommend these guys. It was a great day. Patience paid off!!!

What are you waiting for?! - Don’t hesitate booking this experience with Waitukubuli Adventures! Tiffany and Captain Bean really made this experience special from start to finish. Definitely dress to get wet whilst searching for the whales and dolphins. But honestly so worth it. Rum punch to finish was a nice touch. Only had videos of Dolphins - Soz!

An unforgettable experience. - Our 9-day stay in Dominica included two whale-watching trips with a fantastic company. Despite a whale-less outing on Friday, where their impressive underwater listening equipment detected nothing (a testament to Mother Nature's unpredictability!), Tiffany's exceptional communication and offer for a second chance on Sunday was greatly appreciated. We took her up on it, and Mr. Beans delivered! By the second stop, he located whales, leading us to an incredible sight: two sperm whales with a calf. He was incredibly respectful, maintaining a safe distance while educating us on their behavior. We then had a closer encounter with a solitary, larger whale, followed by another smaller one. The company's passion for both whale conservation and providing unforgettable experiences is evident. Highly recommended!

Saw a pod of sperm whales - We went on the whale watching tour. I was skeptical that we would find the whales, but our guide would listen on the hydrophone to find out which direction they were in. Finally our patience paid off and we saw a pod of 6 sperm whales. Breathtaking!

Couldn’t get a response from excursion company - Our boat changed the all aboard time. We tried to contact the excursion company by email and text and never got a response. We ended up not going because we couldn’t be sure we’d be back in time. Just wish I could have spoken to someone.

DONT DO IT WITH THIS COMPANY - I would not recommend this company at all.
Our group were put on 2 small boats neither of which was as advertised.
The first boat broke down 3 miles out, couldn't be helped of course, but there was absolutely no contingency plan as to how they would get back to shore and after a frantic message to driver friend were towed back.
Our boat skipper who was clearly not in a good mood that day started off well, until he gave us our rum punches then proceeded to drive a such a speed that we were being lifted off our seats, spilling our drinks and when we asked him to slow down, he first refused then did not and did not stop again to listen for dolphins and drove us straight back to shore. We did not see anything which again cant be helped however we were not given one last opportunity and the trip was cut short.
Lastly no rep from the company was on shore to greet us when we got back which considering the other boat had broken down was not professional. I have been in touch with the company who again does not want to hear anything.

All Aboard, NO!! - Unfortunately, it was not the experience we hoped for. The waves were too high for us to be out at 3 - 5 ft to begin and 5-7 ft. on the return. We didn't see a whale, dolphin or a fish. We traveled 6 miles out in choppy seas without other boats nearby. When we returned to our ship we learned that they had cancelled the excursion. I have a fear of drowning, and this experience has set me back.
