Traveler reviews
We had a great time on...
We had a great time on our whale watching tour! Our naturalist. Thomas, was incredible! We had our six year old son with us and Thomas was so attentive and responsive to his questions. He even gave him a junior naturalist workbook and helped him with some of the answers. We saw a great amount of Orcas. The staff was knowledgeable about the wildlife and shared interesting information. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the Vancouver area!
MUST-SEE WHALE WATCHING TOUR!
I had an absolutely incredible and memorable time on the Prince of Whales tour! We saw a pod of orcas and two humpbacks all in the same day. The crew was lovely, so expert at locating and identifying the whales, and their excitement over the wildlife was so contagious :) Made for a wonderful atmosphere on the boat. Especially grateful to the naturalists Tobin, Caitlin and Seb for their warmth and generosity, and of course for their encyclopedic knowledge of the whales! And thanks to Roman and Stephen for a very smooth and comfortable ride. Highly recommend this company!
Once in a Lifetime Trip
We had an absolutely amazing time! Getting to see 16 orcas, humpback whales, and sea lions will be a story I tell for years to come! The guides Tobin, Caitlin, and Ashley were wonderful. They had lots of information about the animals that made the trip even more special. My favourite was Tobin explaining that getting to hear transient orcas is rare. Roman and Stephen were also very skilled captains, always getting us into the best and safest position to watch the whales.
Amazing Experience!
Absolutely fantastic experience! Our captain, Rowan was persistent in tracking down a huge pod of 10 orca. He kept us at a safe distance while we watched them play, slap their tails, jump out of the water, and call to each other for a full 45 minutes! Caitlin, Fawkes, and Tobin identified the whales by name (using Vlad’s incredible photography) and then explained the whales’ entire family lineage! We also saw a handful of humpbacks, which the crew ID’d by their tail flukes as whales seen as far away as Hawaii and Mexico, a bunch of seals/sea lions, and 4 bald eagles! You couldn’t have scripted a better experience. Prince of Whales does it right!

It is windy and it gets cold even when it is warm. Bring layers. Sit in the back if you get motion sickness.
