Traveler reviews
Whale watching
Great tour! Boat captains are very knowledgeable and know where to observe the whales. We went on the 12 passenger catamaran which I think is the way to go! Beautiful area.
Amazing!
We had an amazing time on the Zodiac with Rajan. Amber was also amazing. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgable. We were lucky to see Orcas and Humpbacks which was great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at tours in Victoria.
Amazing!
Amazing! Raj was fabulous - knowledgeable, kind, respectful, safe. We were able to see many orcas… And they were porpoising, on their bellies and flapping tails, and breaching. We know that is the luck of the draw… But what we saw was fabulous, and Raj was as excited as we were. We also were able to see sea lions and humpback whales. All boats out there were respectful and kept their distances. We did spend a lot of time with the orcas, which is what our group wanted to do… So we were a little rushed on the way back, but we were still out for 3 1/2 hours solid. Highly recommend Prince of whales and Raj.
Great trip - well organised
Well organised and staff were very helpful and friendly. Good advice to wrap up warm and take hat and gloves for when out on the water.
