Awesome trip - Brilliant few hours with Mr.Beans. Such a friendly character with great knowledge of the whales and their behaviour.
Our cruise was late getting into port but the staff waited over 40 mins for us which is a huge credit to them. I feel not many companies would wait as long as this !
Fantastic day for both of us, highlight of the holiday. I would recommend the trip to anybody with three / four hours spare in Dominica
Thanks again

Wow - Dwayne is an excellent post of our excursion. We were able to see four sperm whales up close way back to the shop. He gave us close. Look at the post of Dominica as well. Only had 10 people on it, which made experience much more personal.
I highly recommend this excursion.

We didn’t see any... - We didn’t see any dolphins or whales which was disappointing. Ride was very rough. Captain Beans tried hard to find whales and dolphins and was interesting.

Did not get to go, shipboard injury, less than 24 hours notice, no refund. - We did not actually go on the tour. My wife got hurt on the ship late in the afternoon the day before the tour and so we were unable to go. We did not have more than 24 hours to notify to cancel and so we not only did not go but were not given a refund in spite of our circumstances. I know that can happen but felt really bad for both missing the tour and not being refunded.
