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!

Mr. Beanz was an amazing... - Mr. Beanz was an amazing captain, he clearly grew up on the water, since he was so comfortable and knowledgeable. We saw 2 spermwhales, it was a great afternoon on the water and would definitely recommend!

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!

Great! - The experience was exceptional and our guide (Mr Beanz) was great. We've seen a dozen sperm whales, at least! I highly recommend the experience.

A great day and a fun experience - My wife and I had an amazing day out on the water and we were able to see several sperm whales (some fairly close). Our guide Mr Beans explained the whales' habits and other information about these majestic beings. His intuition on their movements made it possible to see a good number of whales, one even swam under the boat as we were drifting.

Happy to have seen several whales! - We had the chance to see several sperm whales. However the walk did not last 3 hours as mentioned but barely 2h30

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.
