Whale watching up c.lose and personal

Published on Dec, 2024

An amazing experience, not to be missed. The skipper was friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful with regard to photography ensuring the sun was behind us. The boat ride in a rigid inflatable was good fun.

Absolutely fantastic experience

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an unbelievably great experience. We saw lots of Orcas and several Humpbacks, and they came right up to the boat. Lots of sea lions too. The boat was great, very clean and spacious and not too packed. Richard and Sandy did a great job starting us off and taking control of the boat, and it was smooth sailing. Shoutout to Reid who is an absolute superstar - her enthusiasm for the whales and wildlife was so infectious and she did an amazing job, she gave us so much interesting information and made sure nobody missed anything they wanted to see. Michael also took some amazing photos and did a great job too - and getting the photos by email for free later in the day is a fantastic touch. A fantastic company with great staff and a truly wonderful day. I plan to look back at these photos for many years to come and remember a special day.

Great Experience in Seeing Whales!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. We got to see multiple Orcas, Humpbacks, and seals on our three hour excursion. The price of the tour was reasonable. Francois and Gord did a great job handling the boat. Michael did an outstanding job talking about the whales and Aleesa took excellent photos of the whales. I enthusiastically recommend Prince of Whales and look forward to doing another whale trip the next time we’re in Victoria!

10/10!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an amazing trip! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Reid, Sam, Michael, Sandy, and Richard were all a treat! I would recommend this trip!
