Traveler reviews
Incredible!
Incredible experience with Connor. Very professional guides and easy to understand for French speakers. We saw and filmed a humpback whale doing trap feeding. Rare phenomenon. We were dazzled. Thank you!!!
Must see whale watching experience with wonderful guides!!!
Phenomenal guides and staff made our whale watching experience a terrific success!! Our guide Kennedy was so wonderful and had such extensive knowledge (historical, scientific and cultural) about the whales we saw along with other great animal sightings we had! She was extremely enthusiastic and entertaining throughout the trip!! Kudos also to the office staff taking reservations and getting us all ready! They all did so extremely well that we’re also going to check out the other Prince of Whale trips in Victoria!
Zodiac tour, telegraph cove
Kennedy is a fantastic guide… knowledgeable, funny, you can tell she loves what she does!
Wonderful whale & other animal watching
Connor was a fantastic guide. We saw killer whales, humpback whales- learned their names, numbers, the specifics of their cultures and how that compared to others. We also saw porpoises, dolphins, sea otters and a gang of large, smelly sea lions. He was incredibly well-informed and seemed genuinely excited to share his knowledge about the animals. I am a senior with limited mobility who is travelling solo and he was extremely considerate in making sure I was comfortable and got on and off the boat safely and with good humour.
Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time on the water during the 3 hour Zodiac tour from Telegraph Cove. Our guides, Scotty and Briar, were simply excellent. They guided us through the beautiful waters, while Scotty shared so many interesting facts and stories of the local fauna and flora. It seemed as if he knew the orcas and humpback whales personally. An unforgettable experience.
