It's an amazing experience and a must do when visiting Vancouver. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable.
Great experience. Very nice boat, spacious , and nice facilities - the staff was personable. Great experience , definitely pack a light jacket
This was an amazing experience. Nothing like seeing these beautiful creatures in the wild. The captain and naturalists were very informative and entertaining. Awesome pictures provided! Thank you Tamsin! You were wonderful on your first day!
An amazing trip with lots of Whales, orcas, seals and eagles. The guides were very good.
Amazing experience! Got to see (and smell) humpback whales up close and personal. All three stops resulted in humpback and/or orca sightings. Ashley and Thomas shared fun facts and stories throughout the trip. 100% would do again!
We had a fabulous experience! We saw humpback whales and sea lions. The first humback whale swam up to our ship, and even though the captain tried to move the ship away, the whale followed us, mugging the ship. We later saw 2 other whales, including Big Mama, the whale who began the repopulation of whales in the Salish Sea, and later, 2 additional whales entertained us with pectoral fin flapping. The water was a little choppy and a number of people had cancelled, but it was their loss. Thank you to Captain Sean and First Mate Keegan for finding these whales, and to Wilma, Jonah, and Keifer for sharing their in-depth knowledge of these amazing creatures. Also, the photos you took and provided to us were amazing. Great day and would do it again!
Top notch whale, seal, eagle & sea lion experience. Loved every minute.
We took a half day whale watching trip with Prince of Whales It was fantastic… Captain took about 15 min to find the humpback whales. The whales came up to our boat like the were checking us out, they were so close, next to the boat. We also saw a pod of Orcas which I was praying we would see❤️ I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Vancouver. You will absolutely love it!!
Best whale watch I’ve ever been on and it’s not close. The guide was great too.
Nice day on the water. Professional, clean, well narrated, and saw some whales at a distance. Tip: line up begins about 30-min early down on the dock. We didn’t arrive early enough to get a good seat on the top deck.
