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.

Boat trip was cancelled - Wout
The trip was amazing and we were so lucky to see the activity of 5 whales real close to the boat. The launch at the beach was exciting, but our guide Joss managed the waves fantastic. He also shared a lot of knowledge. A big thank you! - Lilian
We had an adventurous experience with Advantage Tours. It was at the end of whale watching season, but we still saw many whales. The ride to the beach and the launch are absolute highlights in themselves. And then you also see a turtle and dolphins. Highly recommended! - Peter
Een geweldige ervaring! We hebben het eerste tijdslot geboekt en de oceaan was nog vrij rustig. De bemanning was heel vriendelijk, enthousiast en ervaren en de ontvangst was heel hartelijk. We hadden het geluk een speelse en indrukwekkende bultrug te treffen en enkele dolfijnen. Een aanrader! - Toon
Absolute great experience. All staff are very friendly. Will definitely go again. - Annerien
