such a good company! - I had the most wonderful time with the Waitukubuli tours group. From the first bit of communication over what’s app to the end it was the most helpful and friendly staff. Captain Beanz was my captain on both trips I took and was so knowledgeable and fun! From the moment we left the dock he was giving us information, socializing, and making us all feel as comfortable as possible. Tiffany is WONDERFUL. she worked directly with me to be able to arrange another tour before I left the island because I hadn’t seen whales the first time. Even without seeing whales this experience was amazing and I would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful creatures - Amazing time. Jeff and Mr. Bean were so patient with nature. The trip did not disappoint and we saw a beautiful Sperm Whale. The knowledge and expertise of these two guys went above and beyond. If you choose this trip definitely do yourself a favor and request them!

Recommended your company - Very hospitable tour group. Tiffany picked us up from our hotel and was entertaining and engaging on the drive to and from the boat tour. The guides in the boat were knowledgeable and went over and above driving all over so we could attempt to see spark whales (which we did not). We saw a ton of pilot whales and some dolphins. Very successful day in our opinion.

Worth the wait — an exciting and unforgettable whale watching trip - We booked the Waitukubuli Dolphin and Whale Watch excursion during our stay in Dominica and had a fantastic experience.
The trip was on a small boat with three couples and two crew, which made the whole excursion feel much more personal and enjoyable than being on a large crowded tour boat. From the start, Captain Bean and Captain Jeff created a fun and relaxed atmosphere. They were funny, happy and constantly put a smile on our faces throughout the trip.
The crew also handled everything really well onboard. Soft drinks were provided during the excursion and they sensibly explained that the rum punch would only be served on the return journey — definitely a good idea considering there were no toilets on such a small boat!
For a while it looked like we might not spot any whales, but the captains never gave up searching. With about 10 minutes left in the tour, everything suddenly became very exciting. The boat accelerated at full speed towards where the captains were pointing and shouting, with lots of noise, cheers and laughter from the crew as they spotted two sperm whales. About five minutes later we were lucky enough to see another one as well.
It was absolutely worth the wait and turned into one of the most memorable moments of our trip. The excitement and energy from the crew genuinely added to the experience and made the sightings even more special.
Alongside the whale sightings, we also enjoyed learning more about the waters around Dominica and taking in the beautiful scenery of the island from the sea.
If you are visiting Dominica and want a smaller, more personal whale watching experience with a fun and enthusiastic crew, I would definitely recommend this excursion.

Whale watching in Dominica - Fantastic trip in Dominica. Exceptional guide and crew. Saw 11 whales and multiple dolphins. All crew were constantly on the look out for whales so we could see as many as possible.

Very disappointing - Hello,
I wanted to share that I had a really disappointing experience with this tour. It was supposed to last 3 hours, but we started bit late and ended earlier than expected. During the whole trip, we did not see any fish at all, not whales, not dolphins, nothing.
I also felt that the guide/captain did not really try very much and seemed afraid of the wind conditions. I was really hoping this would be a great experience, but unfortunately it was not.
I would really appreciate it if you could offer me a refund so that I may book the trip again with your company and hopefully have a better experience next time.
Thank you for your understanding.

Cons: no info about... - Cons: no info about changed departure time (took place 4 hours later), waited over 1h and then informed us ourselves when the tour takes place, no excuse or even accommodation of the organizer, 3h boat trip without much explanation about land or water, whales not seen (may happen), for the offered service significantly too expensive
