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.

Advantage Tours St Lucia South-Africa
It was our fifth time on an Advantage whale watching trip at St Lucia. We had an adrenaline pumping launch after the mist had lifted, the waves came in fast but Shaun handled it so well that we felt safe and even enjoyed the launch. He also showed us a Manta ray that was coming to the boat. We went with Josh on Free spirit, lot of breaching activity at a distance, he took us closer to enjoy the whales close to the boat. We also saw flying fish and dolphins that were swimming next to us after Josh had "called" them by clapping on the side of the boat! Our big moment was when we saw a baby whale of a few hours old breaching and playing close to the boat. The skippers kept on giving interesting info about the whales, they enjoyed every sighting with us and went out of their way to make it an unforgetable experience! The whales will see us again!!

Siamo veramente felici di aver scelto Adventures perche hanno dimostrato gentilezza, amore per quello che fanno e professionalita. Il periodo per le megattere e ormai passato, ma quando la vostra escursione stava per terminare il capitano le ha avvistate e siamo rimasti in mare oltre l'orario per poterci permetterci di ammirarle. Veramente straconsigliati, perche si vedere che ci tengono tantissimo affinche le persone vadano via felici, w cosi e stato. - Roberta
