We saw orcas, humpbacks and sea lions! The guides were very knowledgeable and funny and really added to the tour. It was a nice surprise that the tour offered free coffee, tea and hot chocolate and that they also send photos of the wildlife as well as a map of the journey to you for free as well!

We had a lovely time on our tour! The crew was great, Raj was very knowledgeable and answered all questions we had, Jesse was very humorous and made it so much fun and our trip wouldn’t have been half as delightful without the hot chocolate refills we got from Tyler! The crew even took us further east than some of them had been just so they could guarantee us a whale spotting which we really appreciated. Would recommend the catamaran as it has lots of decks for viewing and also sheltered spots to get out of the wind to warm up.

We had a fabulous time! A full four hours and saw tons of whales, sea lions, birds and eagles. The guides were so knowledgeable and helpful. We highly recommend this tour and company.

We had a great time. Michael and Reid were so knowledgeable and friendly. Gord was the same. They roamed the boat and engaged with everyone. We saw a pod of Orcas. The crew recognized the mother and her calf and knew their numbers and names by photos shared with other sightings. Having pictures to share with people back home was an added bonus! We had a fun and educational cruise.

We are so lucky to see a lot of killer whales get together. And the most amazing thing is they bumped up super close to the boat🤩

We had a wonderful time on the half day whale watching tour 11th April. The team were so informative and engaging from the moment we had the briefing at the harbour to the moment we stepped off. We were fortunate to see 9 whales on our trip, sea lions, seals and lots of birds! It was a magical experience seeing the animals up close in their natural environment and we learned so much from Rajan and Reid. Their passion and interest came through so clearly in the way they took care of the group and shared their knowledge of marine wildlife. And the photo package is fab! Would recommend to anyone visiting who's keen to see whales - you're in good hands with the Prince of Whales team!

We had a lovely weather day, sunny with calm waters. We had booked the previous day with another outfit but that was cancelled due to too few patrons. I phoned POW today and they confirmed they were a go for the 12:30 sailing and there had been lots of whale sightings. We certainly weren’t disappointed with the almost one hour rendezvous in the San Juan Islands with the T46 Biggs orca pod, topped off by a visit simultaneously with the T36 Biggs orca pod towards the end of our tour. Not only did we witness the beautiful rhythmic swimming but also some breaching and spy hopping during a feeding frenzy. On the way back, we stopped by a tiny island covered in Stellar Sea Lions which was also amazing. Thanks so much to Captain Richard, First Mate Sandy, Naturalists Rajan, Sophia and Michael whose knowledge, good humour and patience made for an enjoyable afternoon. I would highly recommend Prince of Whales for your whale watching experience. Thanks for the great day!

This was the first time we saw Killer Whales in the Ocean where they belong. We kept a substantial distance so as not to crowd them. The crew are real professionals and are very knowledgable. We will certainly do this tour again.

Richard, Sandy, Michael and Reid did a fantastic job. We were unlucky with the whales, but the crew kept us entertained and worked so hard to try find whales. The seals and sea lions were delightful!

We were guaranteed whales and they did not disappoint. Jonathon, Reid, Rajan, Gord and Tyler were fantastic. They were knowledgeable and educated us well on the topic of marine mammals. Highly recommend, but in April make sure you dress warm.

Amazing trip! Saw lots of whales, some porpoises, and a whole mess of sea lions. Our guides Reid, Tyler, and Rajan all were welcoming and knowledgeable. Worth every penny!

They know where the whales are, they did not disappoint anyone that was on the boat I was on. Reid, Rajan, and Tyler were all so funny and knew all about the whales we saw. Amazing photos as well.

This was the most amazing experience! Richard and Sandy guided this fabulous boat to the optimum locations and then our crew, Michael, Rajan and Tyler shared their enthusiasm and knowledge with us! To share this trip of a lifetime with 5 such well informed people has been the highlight of our visit to BC. We would definitely recommend you without hesitation!

Our whale watching experience was outstanding! Captain Richard and first mate Sandy were great and made sure we had the best views of the whales, and naturalists Rajan, Michael, and Tyler were knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was pristine, comfortable and in great condition. We travelled with an 8 month old, and there was absolutely no problem. We highly recommend it!

My husband and I had an amazing time. Saw two Orcas which was very cool. Thanks you to the captain and crew, Richard, Sandy, Michael and Rajan for making it such a memorable trip.
