This was our first time in Vancouver and we decided to do this activity on our last night. We were NOT disappointed. The entire experience was top notch - booking and boarding were smooth and the crew were AMAZING! Several of the crew members took the time to interact with us personally. When they discovered that my kids were also ‘science nerds’ they offered insight and advice that made a strong positive impression. Of course, seeing the orcas was an amazing experience. My son created digital artwork inspired by the experience. If you are spending time in Vancouver, put this on your list if you love nature and adventure!!robertbA102JM

We had an amazing time on our whale watching tour! The naturalist guides Luke, Steven, and Tobin were extremely friendly and informative. We got lucky and saw a pod of three orcas sharing a meal right by our boat. We learned a lot about these three whales on particular and about orcas in general,...

We learned a lot about these three whales on particular and about orcas in general, and we got to enjoy the majestic scenery of BC. Well worth the price!Olivia_Y0514

I booked this trip with my mom who have first trip in Vancouver. We had lots of great time with Prince of Whales. Captain and all guides guided travelers very passionately to provide valuable memories. The most memorable thing is that the captain took pictures for me and my mom. We cherish it very much because it is the only picture I took with my mom on this ship. We are very grateful to the captain. We were glad to trip with Prince of Whales. I hope the Prince of Whales team will always be healthy and safe! 🐋🐳🌊⛴🤴🏻ice2cyou

Omg! That was such an amazing experience! Highly recommended! Right from the start, the customer service was phenomenal... Chatted with someone over text and then the day before our trip over the phone. Answered all my questions with care. On the day of the trip, we were greeted with friendly and competent staff who answered all our questions, and put up with my 7 year old's wonderings and tall tales!!!! But the best had to be the whale watching: humpback whales, seals, and orcas! So incredible and breathtaking! The boat was huge so no sea sickness for me (and I get sick even on a cruise ship!). The complementary hot chocolate was welcomed, along with the free photos of some of the sights we saw so that we could focus on being in the now! Thank you to Tom, Carl, Stephen, Tobin, and Alex for making our trip a memorable experience!!!!JoshuaToonieTours

Great evening out on the water. The catamaran was fun and comfortable, and the crew was a delight. They were all very friendly and filled with great information.
