Don’t miss the most exhilarating experience of your vacation a Dolphin/Whale Watch Safari with us is a must!To date, in excess of 25 varieties of these magnificent mammals have been spotted in our waters, each bearing its own unique fascination. The sight of them in their natural habitats, whether they be feeding, mating, frolicking with their calves or just “cooling” out in our refreshing Caribbean waters, is surely a magical and
unforgettable experience!
The most frequently sighted of the whales are the, Sperm (45ft), the Pilot (20ft) and the Humpback (60ft). Occasionally, we experience what can only be considered the pinnacle of all sightings the Orcas (Killer Whale 30ft). Who knows, it may be your lucky day!
We also come across large pods of Dolphin, sometimes 150 at a time. They dazzle and hypnotize us with their spectacular and lively antics. The most frequently sighted are the Spotted, the Common, the Fraser and Striped. Our personal favorites are the Spinners, which can be seen leaping playfully several yards into the air, whilst spinning up to seven times.
The Dolphins are considered the darlings of the Ocean, and their gracefulness and playful actions must bring a smile to any and everyone's face.
Using the hydrophone enables us to hear the Whales and Dolphins communicating, by clicks, squeals, grunts and screams. Harmonious wailing sounds, which can be heard for several miles, emanate from the Humpback Whale, also known as the Singing Whale.
We are members of the St. Lucia Whale Watching Association, Chris being the president of this association, and strongly follow all the international Whale Watching rules for the safety of the mammals and the optimum enjoyment of our guests. After all, we are all visitors out there!
