Unique view of the coast - While we weren’t lucky enough to see dolphins the day we went (its like 80/20 you see them given they’re wildlife and you’re seeing them in their natural habitat) the cruise itself was very beautiful and our tour guides were awesome! You start in Castries and sail down to the Pitons to see them from the ocean. Its a great opportunity for pictures and if you and spots of the island along there you want pointed out (like the Pirates of the Caribbean filming location) they will give you all the info and you can take some beautiful pictures. Our start time was 8:00am (earlier everyone gets there earlier you leave) we left the docks at 8:30am ish and we ended at 12:00pm.

Magical Whale and Dolphin Watching with Captain Mike’s! - We had an incredible time on our dolphin and whale watching tour with Captain Mike’s – an experience we’ll never forget. The crew was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the marine life and St Lucia’s coastline throughout the trip.
We were lucky enough to see both dolphins and whales during the tour – an absolutely magical sight that left us all in awe, especially my seven-year-old son. The excitement on board was contagious, and the crew made sure everyone felt safe, informed, and included.
This was not just a boat ride – it was an educational and inspiring encounter with nature at its best. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy St Lucia from a new perspective!

Worth the wait - It was around a 30 min voyage into the ocean while being served water and Rum punch before we were blessed with what we had hoped to see and it was worth the wait, a sperm whale and a huge pod of Dolphins with an amazing view of the Pitons in the background made the experience worthwhile.

This is just a boat ride. - This is just a boat ride. The description boasts a magical trip to see whales. However, absolutely not. My phrase of the day, these people thief.
The crew had very limited knowledge or expertise of whales. The captain did not locate a spot to find whales or sit and wait for them to appear. Instead, they just sailed up and down the coast.... making loud noises and creating waves.
It was incredibly boring!
The ride was uncomfortable with no entertainment and child centered activities. In the end, no whales were seen. In fact, one of the crew members admitted there was a 50 percent chance to see any whales.
Save your funds... this was a waste of time and money.
