“We had a full day to spend in St. Lucia and Titus and Jalen gave us the PERFECT DAY on the Israel King 2! They picked us up right near the cruise pier and gave us a delightful tour up the coast, showing us fishing villages, fun points of interest, and gorgeous sites along the way! They were so kind to take photos of us all... stop anywhere we wanted for a fun moment... and kept us well hydrated along the way! (Rum punch was amazing! Waters and beers and cokes as well!) When we arrived at Soiffre, Jalen was our "tour guide" and came with us to the mud…”

Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise in St Lucia

5.Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise in St Lucia

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 157 reviews · from $65Best value

Meet the Captain Mike’s crew at Vigie Marina for a 3 to 3.5-hour search for sperm, humpback, and pilot whales, plus several dolphin species. A marine expert explains animal behavior while you watch St Lucia’s coast, sip rum punch, and scan the sea from the boat.

“We managed to see a small pod of Sperm whales, two adults and a youngster, and later a single whale. Heavy rain and a little rough sea limited viewing opportunities. Dolphins were conspicuous by their absence, still a great opportunity and would try again on a future holiday. Crew very friendly. There a no included transfers and you should add that cost to your overall expense.”
