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
The tour was a wonderful experience and I think it was worth what I paid for it. Advantage was well organised and kept me updated including contacting me when it was necessary to cancel the tour I had originally booked due to weather conditions. Rebooking was done at my request and everything worked out perfectly. - Wendy
Wow, this trip was so much more than I expected!, seeing both humpback and southern right whales was a bonus. - Desiree
Really great experience, would do again, and most likely will because unfortunately we had really bad weather a week before and so the whales were not that active, but our guide really tried hard to find some whales - we saw a flipper, a tail, and dolphins towards the end, but I think when the weather is better you would see more as it is the season (went in mid August). Would also recommend this company highly. We had really bad weather, and so they cancelled our trip, and the only day we could go was the day we were leaving back to Joburg, so they added us into a group booking at the early slot so that we could still make it back home in time - really helpful and considerate staff - just a really nice overall experience (which for someone terrified of the sea and of boats, was really appericated). - Jane
The tour had to be cancelled due to weather conditions. The money was returned promptly. - Wolfgang
Wir fuhlten uns vom ersten Moment an sicher. Es war ein wunderschones Erlebnis. Momente der Ruhe auf dem indischen Ozean und die Buckelwale. Unser Skipper hat viele Infos weitergegeben. Sehr gerne wieder. - Sandra
