Boat based whale watching in St Lucia is a 2 x hour boat based tour. The whales migrate past this stretch of coastline between the months of mid May to mid December annually , to calf and breed in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, moving as far as Mozambique and Madagascar before making the journey back to the Antarctic.
You may be fortunate to witness a 40ton acrobatic Humpback whale breaching a mere 50 meters away from the boat.
You may also see a variety of pelagic bird life, dolphin frolicking alongside the bow of the boat, sea turtles in season, shark, marlin, whale shark and other interesting marine mammals and cetacean – these sighting is a bonus, we will not necessarily see this on each tour. If you don’t see a whale or dolphin during your tour, you can claim a 40% refund from our office.

Tres bonne experience, tout etait bien organise, le personnel etait sympathique - Severine
Your organisation was excellent, punctual and easy, with no fussing. Enjoyed our skipper, Shawn who was very competent and made us feel safe. Obviously with the whales in fairly deep water, it requires a fair bit of travelling, which was quite rough, but fun. Certainly idling in the choppy water was a bit uncomfortable Enjoyed the whale sightings, although they were sporadic and not very predictable. I was a bit disappointed that we saw no dolphin activity and bird activity other than one shearwater, which was my highlight! Thank you all for a most interesting experience though and thanks to Shawn for his boating skills! - Neville
It was a nice morning out on the boat. Unfortunately, we did not see the whales, although the captain tried. It is never a sure thing, it is nature - Joann
We very much appreciated the whale watching tour for 2 hours. Beautiful wetter with blue sky. Everything was well organized and we felt very much welcomed, - Rinse
Although we had booked two whale watching trips for three people on 24 and 25 August, unfortunately they were cancelled due to bad weather conditions. We tried to postpone one of the trips to Monday 26th but it was cancelled again. We cannot give an opinion as all trips were cancelled. However, in September 2023 we were able to go on one trip and it was a great experience. So this year we decided to book and try two trips. We hope to return in the next few years. Greetings from Spain, - Miguel
