Whale watching from Vancouver - Thank you for making my wifes dreams come true! It was truly an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to book it. We went on 13th june 8.30am. Wilma was very knowledgeable and extremely professional. Our captain was Anthony and first mate Luke. My wife was the one that got extremely excited because it has been a life long dream to see them. So once again a simple thank you for this amazing experience for us both!

Awesome excursion. - This was well organised. The Captain knew exactly where to go to see whales and the on-board naturalists explained so much particularly what to look for just before whales surfaced. This allowed me to take the most extraordinary photo ever. Was the highlight of our trip to Canada

I loved going with the "Prince of Whales" .Their team is the best! - Going whale watching with the Prince of Whales was one of the best tours I have taken. Whale watching was at the top of my bucket list, and I am thrilled I chose your company to experience this on my first solo trip. I took the half-day tour and saw many Orcas and two Humpbacks; Their names are Whisk and Malamute. The crew was brilliant, and so were the naturalists. They explained the finer nuances of the Humpback and Orcas in a precise and straightforward manner. They were ready to take questions and, at the same time, were stealthily observing the waters and looking out for the whales. All safety norms were explained very clearly, and the bottomless coffee and hot chocolate kept me warm on the cold Salish Sea. I am addicted and would go with "The Prince of Whales "in a heartbeat, the next time I travel to Vancouver. I want to mention the highly professional and wonderful crew members-Roman, Lucas, Petra, Karl and Ashley. Many Thanks for making this one of the best days of my life. Warmly Sumiko M Nanda

Outstanding Whale Watching - We had a perfect day pursuing three elusive Orcas and were thrilled when our captain finally found them at the outermost point of the range we had time to explore. Wilma our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic which really enhanced our excellent experience. Highly recommend this tour for a great family experience.

Fantastic Tour!! - This tour was amazing! The crew were so knowledgeable; Wilma, Anthony, Fawkes, Jake and Roman. I learnt so much about the animals, the area, the history. We saw humpback whales, one lunging out to feed, bald eagles, harbour seals, sea lions and a brown pelican. They advise you to dress warmly and that is a must, but there are plenty of indoor seats and warm drinks available. The scenery is beautiful we loved every moment! The real gem is that they are taking photos and send them to you after! Much better quality than my phone and I would almost always miss the whales on the surface! Great touch to the trip!
