Orca sightings St Lucia - Amazing experience. We didn't see dolphins but we did see 7 Orcas very close to the boat - swimming all around us and coming back several times. This was in the bay by the Pitons which made it even more magical. There were plenty of flying fish and diving birds which were also impressive to watch! Crew were great and there was a good choice of drinks and snacks. Highly recommend - but as always sightings can't be guaranteed! However, if you get these rare Orcas - it's very special indeed!

Amazing experience seeing wildlife in their natural environment - Friendly crew and great boat trip. We saw different birds, flying fish and travelled all the way down the coast to the pitons. The most amazing highlight was seeing Orcas which is apparently very unusual here in St Lucia. Good to have a range of drinks and some fruit all included. Shout out to K.J. who was our guide for his enthusiasm alongside the spotter and captain!

Best water experience ever!! - I was going on this trip expecting to see 1 dolphin maybe.,… we saw 50 -70! The crew was super fantastic. And the boat was in excellent condition. There were only 8 of us on the boat. The crew did their best to keep us out searching for whales but unfortunately not today. We were very happy to say the least. We would recommend and we have that you go on this trip, you will not be disappointed.

Just amazing - Wow, what an amazing experience. The whole trip was outstanding. We saw loads of pods of dolphins and then to get even better saw a family of Sperm whales. Two adults and two calves and then more in pairs . So magical. The crew were very knowledgeable and complimentary drinks was a nice touch.
Highly recommended 10/10

Super experience - Because of the traffic we were just too late, but she made sure we still got on the boat. Super service. Good thing, because we spotted 8-10 Whales and at least 100 dolphins. Staff very friendly and we were generously provided with drinks on the boat (including Rumpunch).

Gorgeous trip even when unsuccessful. - We had an amazing trip with Captain Mike's team. Unfortunately we didn't see any Dolphins or Whales, but the vibes and the views were beautiful and worth the price in itself. Gorgeous view of the island and especially special to see the Pitons from the sea. Flying fish everywhere! Delicious rum punch, bananas and a great team. Highly recommend.
