Traveler reviews
A day we’ll never forget!
What an incredible experience. We had such an amazing day with Prince of Whales and loved every minute of it. Seeing so many humpback whales was spectacular, but then seeing bald eagles, sea lions and a family of orcas made the day even more special. The views were absolutely beautiful and the guides were fantastic, with so much knowledge about the wildlife we were seeing. Complimentary hot drinks were available, with snacks to purchase onboard too. This was something we’d really been looking forward to on our Vancouver trip and it absolutely lived up to our expectations. A brilliant experience from start to finish and one we’d recommend without hesitation.
Once in a lifetime experience
THIS was THE MOST AMAZING day....even many of the Naturalists were saying it was easily one of the best days of the summer. We saw both Orcas & Humpbacks & they were together at one point fighting. There was a lot going on & a small Orca calf was breaching as well. The Naturalists were absolutely incredible during the whole trip explaining what was going on & educating us not only about the whales but about the nature around us! Wilma was so passionate & engaged the whole trip & i was in her section the majority of the time....what i saw of the others. Petra, Sebastian, Stephen & the Captain, Anthony i could feel their excitement as well. A trip of a life time! WOW!!!
Great outing in late October!
Went on a whale watching tour on Halloween. Didn’t expect much for the end of the season but we saw humpbacks, orcas and seals! Was fantastic to see them! The staff are great. Thank you Sebastian, Ashley, Stephen, Petra and Captain Anthony for a wonderful trip. The weather gods came through with sunny skies. I was originally thinking of doing a tour on a zodiak boat but glad for the warmth of the interior and bathrooms on board at this late time of the year. It gets pretty cool out on the water so dress up in late October. You will get photos sent to you via email at the end so if you don’t have a good camera with a zoom lens they do.
Beautiful whale
If you like an exiting ocean trip you must go for it. I had a lot of fun and We learned so many things about whales and sea lions
Spectacular, whale worth the money!
Absolutely incredible whale watching experience. Sebastian was very knowledgeable, approachable and funny but all the crew were fantastic. We were lucky enough to see a mother and calf, a lone humpback and a further trio of humpbacks as well as sea lions, seals and even a bald eagle. No orcas but the calf gave us a spectacular show coming very close to the boat. One of the trio breached which was spectacular! There was plenty of space, the boat didn’t feel too crowded. The length of the trip was perfect, it didn’t feel too rushed. Once in a lifetime experience well worth it.
