Dolphins galore! - No whales on this trip but dolphins galore, too many to count, running alongside and in front of the boat. Excellent views of the coastline all the way down to the Pitons and Sugar Bay.
The crew were amazing and fun and the rum punch flowed freely.
Highly recommended!

Fab! - Absolutely wonderful trip…. and we saw dolphins as well, which was the icing on the cake! The staff are amazing - so friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend this enough. My only negative comment would be that people on the trip left the boat without tipping and I think that was awful because the staff went over and above and definitely deserved at least something :(

See the St Lucia West Coast - We took this as an affordable option to see the coast of St Lucia and get an ocean view of the Pitons. Sealife would be a bonus but the crew did find some grumpus dolphin right at the end of the tour so no complaints . Friendly and helpful crew and a nice morning out on the water

Dolphin Watching - Crew was great and friendly. March is not a good time to do this excursion there were no whales and the dolphins were not vert active. That being said if you want to see great scenery and a great view of the Pitons this is a great excursion. The crew gave commentary of different areas of the island as we sailed by.

Fun but wouldn’t go again any time soon - For the price it was lengthy, but not sure if it was a good or a bad thing. My partner was so poorly on the boat with sea sickness so fell asleep and missed most of it. It was an amazing experience to see the dolphins and whales, the staff were attentive and fun, just think it didn’t need to be so long out at sea. But overall a lovely experience:
