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.

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

It was very interesting what we saw on this tour. We saw several whales, but no dolphins. The boat captain provided additional information and the trip was well worth the money. Highly recommended.. - Max
