Fantastic Sunday trip on Prince of Wales! Thank you to Captain Carl, First Mate Vlad, Belu, Jake, and Petra for an unforgettable experience. Wonderful crew and excellent tour!
Yesterday we were on a tour with Capt. Karl, Capt. Vlad, and naturalists Petra, Belu, and Jake. Petra was very knowledgeable, and I really appreciated all the insights shared throughout the tour. We saw quite a few humpbacks, which was absolutely fascinating! Big thanks to the crew for such a memorable day!
We had a terrific experience on The Prince of Whales whale watching tour. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We saw 3 humpback whales, a gray whale, 2 Bald Eagles and sea lions galore. The ride back was stunning and we learned interesting information about wildlife and the area in general. Thank you to Tobin, Roman, Caitlin, Petra and Vlad for a wonderful excursion.
This experience is highly recommended and would absolutely come back. The tour exceeded all expectations. We saw bald eagles, sea lions, humpback whales and a pod of orcas.

This was a great day for wildlife. I know sightings are never guaranteed but wow just wow today. We saw a bunch on Seals, one eagle and 13 humpback whales and 2 orca. Being able to sit inside while riding to the different locations was nice. Plenty of space on boat so everyone gets a front row to see them. The bonus is if you give them your email they send pics for FREE!! In my pictures you can tell the ones I took with cell phone and their good cameras
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an incredible day out on the water! 13 humpback whales and 2 orcas is truly a spectacular encounter, along with seals and an eagle! We’re also glad you enjoyed the comfort and space on board, as well as the indoor seating for the ride between sightings. It’s great to hear you appreciated the complimentary photo package too, our crew loves being able to share those professional images so you can focus on enjoying the wildlife in the moment.
