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.

Wonderful Whale Watching in Dominica - This was a last minute booking and they stepped up and saved the day. We'd booked a cruise w a stop in Dominica to see the sperm whales. That excursion was cancelled yesterday. So I Googled "Whale watching Dominica" and this company came right up. We had an amazing morning on the water. Captain Beans put us on 3 adult sperm whales. And we got to listen to them on the hydrophone. Great day!!

Must do experience in Dominica! - What a fantastic excursion! I would highly recommend doing this tour if you are visiting Dominica. Not only do you get beautiful views of Dominica from the sea, but we also saw so many whales up close and dolphins on this tour. The guide was truly an expert and he even kindly shared the amazing underwater videos he took after the tour. One of the highlights from our trip!

Amazing Trip with Captain Beans! - We had such an incredible time with Captain Beans! He was fantastic at searching out, spotting & taking us to see the multiple whales on our trip! You could definitely tell that many of the other captains looked up to him & would follow his lead. He was very good & fun. Only negative thing I would say is there were not many hand holds to grab on the boat when we were speeding over waves. Also if you’re needing some back support in your seat that’s missing. A couple of hours on the boat without them can cause a little back pain. Nothing terrible enough to not do again next time though! Amazing experience!

Amazing whale watching in Dominica - Had a fantastic time this morning watching whales in Dominica. The guide was amazing and worked with his fellow captains to locate different whales from one pod. He complimented the viewing with lots of great information about the whales. A great morning.

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.
