Selwyn ("Selo") and Brittany provide an excellent whale watching experience. (Assuming that the whales cooperate. We saw two sperm whales and were able to get within about 100 feet of them.) Selo is very knowledgeable and is passionate about how some of the tourist operations are disturbing the whales and possibly driving them away. The boat is an open skiff with a canvas top for shade and seating for 8 people. It is a seaworthy boat. On the day of our trip there was an unusual south wind that caused 3-4 foot swells and significant chop. I have 60 years experience with boats, and Selo was an excellent captain in these conditions. As I told him, he kept everybody "safe, comfortable and reasonably dry." Except for the one dash to where the whales had been sighted, he kept the boat oriented to the swells for safety and comfort. When returning to the dock he went right along the beach, providing a smooth ride and excellent views of Dominica. Suggestions: There is no bathroom (head) on the boat, so limit your fluid intake before the trip. Parking is hard to find in Roseau, so if you are driving allow extra time to find a space and to walk to the dock. Check out the south end of town, around Turkey Lane, for parking.Chuck DavisPH tours So my story with PH tours spans two years- I went out last year and first time no sperm whales..but met the wonderful warm team of Brittany and Sellou who were almost more disappointed than me and so got me back not once but twice! Each time was a joy despite no sperm whales- I saw dolphins and pilot whales and enjoyed wonderful boat rides and the excellent and expert company. ‘ I’ll be back! I promised. This year I returned to a big hug from Brittany- (honoured they even remembered me from all the hundreds of guests!). We went out again. Still no whales. ‘I am cursed!’ I moaned. We joked that clearly one of my ancestors must have offended sperm whales because this really was exceptional bad luck- each time people were seeing whales the day before and after - with an average 80% chance of seeing them. They got me back again ‘we specialise in breaking curses!’ Finally! a stray female had luckily remained slightly behind her family. They identified her- ‘Pinchy’ I was almost in tears I was so happy! The only sad thing was a couple of bigger boats had people on who they were taking out to swim with the whale. The whale was clearly distressed by it, trying to get away from these idiots chasing them to get their shot. I was quite ashamed at humanity. PH have a small boat, they stay a respectful distance ( yet still get you gently as close as possible)and really care and know about the whale families in the area. My whole experience with them was amazing - they feel like friends who did absolutely everything to give me the privilege of seeing one of these amazing creatures. If you decide to go - don’t be a greedy, embarrassing idiot and try to swim with them- they are driving the whales away and soon no one will see them anymore. Go with PH, the intelligent choice!Gaby SzaboFantastic experience. Closest we’ve ever been to a whale species. They use hydrophones to listen in on the unique language of Sperm Whales and track units across the west coast of Dominica. It’s amazing to not only have a chance to see Sperm Whales, but to listen to them communicate as well. A relaxing coastal cruise around sunset was a perfect cool down to the chase.Jack McDonough👍👍👍 A must-do in Dominica! We took the whale watching tour with Brittany and had the most amazing and fun trip. Big knowledge and big heart! A full recommendation from us!Sandra Preusselexcellent place for snorkeling, very reasonable prices and wonderful people, and amazing scenes. Bubbling like Champagne indeed, from under the Sea! It is kids friendly too. We had a great time here. Pam and Harry did a great job building up this place. We were so lucky to find this place during our short stay on this island 🏝️Tao WangWir waren zum Schnorcheln dort, und haben Schwimmflossen ausgeliehen. Die Besitzer und Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und haben uns genau erklärt, wo man gut schnorcheln kann und die Champagne Blasen aufsteigen sieht. Für 3$ erhält man ein Getränk (Rumpunsch, Bier, Softdrink, Wasser) und bekommt dafür einen Liegestuhl gratis für den ganzen Tag. Wir konnten unsere Rucksäcke ohne Bedenken bei ihnen ablegen und sie haben darauf aufgepasst! Definitiv eine Empfehlung!ElenaFantastic experience. Knowledgeable, fun, kind, good value, great communication.Elizabeth WilsonEin unvergessliches Erlebnis. Mit insgesamt sechs Leuten raus aufs Meer, mehrmals Wale und eine Gruppe Delfine beobachtet. Gänsehautmomente. Vielen tausend Dank an Britney und deinen Kollegen (Sorry, ich hab deinen Namen vergessen 🙈), bestes Team ever (!), für eine unglaublich schöne und mit Sicherheit lebenslange Erinnerung. PS: We loved and enjoyed your spirit and your energy ❤❤❤ Liebe Grüße Stefano und BarbaraBarbaraWe booked their guided snorkeling tour last week and it was the highlight of our Dominica trip! I’m not sure how to spell our guide’s name, but he and Brittany were awesome to hang out with for the afternoon. We had such a good time with them! I have only snorkeled once before, and they showed us different fish, coral, and where to find everything at the two different locations we visited. It was a bit a cold and windy but the last stop on the trip is a visit to a beach bar in Soufriere where the hot springs trickle out into the bay. It was perfect to sit in the warm water and heat back up after a cold swim and have a drink. The company, the views, the day on the water—it can’t be beat!Johanna Brahm
VerifiedA la découverte des trésors de Champagne reef Nous avons passé un super moment. C'était une belle balade sous-marine, notre accompagnateur était attentif et nous a montré tous les trésors de la biodiversité du récif que nous n'aurions pas repéré seules. Nous avons même croisé une tortue 🐢 ! Une belle expérience merci.KBeeVerifiedLovely boat ride We didn’t see whales but not for lack trying. The boat was lovely and the crew was great but the whales did my show themselves that day.Carmen DVerifiedExcellent Whale Watching Experience Selwyn ("Selo") and Brittany provide an excellent whale watching experience.

We had a brief spotting with a little sperm whale. They didn't have another outing booked for the afternoon so they kept us out much past the time that was alotted. We got to see another one after that. They also had some rum punch for everyone! They then took us back along the coast of the island to see some of the other sites. Will definitely book again with these two when I come back.chad hVerifiedEmpfehlenswerter Trip Das Schnorcheln war sehr schön such wenn man etwas die Nachwehen des Hurricanes Maria bei den Riffen sieht. Die Tourguides von PH Whale Watch waren sehr sympathisch und immer professionell sn unserer Seite.Alexander LVerifiedTolles Erlebnis - vorzugsweise für jüngere Urlauber Es war ein sehr schönes Erlebnis und wir haben tatsächlich Wale in unmittelbarer Nähe des Bootes gesehen! Bei der Seefahrt (mit einem für den Atlantischen Ozean/die Karibische See nicht zu großen Boot) musste man schon seefest sein. Wir hatten bei der ca. 3-stündigen Tour alles mögliche Wetter (Sonne, Regen, Wind und Wellen). Die Crew hatte aber alles - insbesondere die Fahrt bei Wellengang - in Griff! Vielen Dank für das tolle Erlebnis.Friedrich Ingo NVerifiedLots of dolphin and sperm whales in some rough seas. The sea was rough, but our crew did a wonderful job of providing great views of dolphins and once further out , several sperm whales. Our Captain wore a Dive Dominica shirt and worked well with his friendly crew who took great care of us all. Some passengers had mobility issues, yet the crew took great care of them and made sure they got to see the incredible creatures we were seeing.Richard WVerifiedGood fun but no whales! PH met us at Cruise pier and walked us 5 mins to board small boat with 6 other people plus 2 crew Enjoyable, occasionally bumpy ride but unfortunately no dolphins or whales. Would do trip again if in the area as it was a fun 3 hoursDavid WVerifiedA definite first choice We were impressed with the knowledge, Know-how , and personality of the 2 who took us out. Brigitte and sello (sp?). We saw 6 whales and had plenty of time to observe them. It was impressive to see the technology and inter ship communications that gave us the best chance of seeing whales. We loved the small group setting and the ecological consciousness of the company. Well worth the time and money.311trish
