      A wonderful and very educational experience with Captain Trey. I recommend Prince of Whales Whale Watching!
      We went whale watching last September 17, 2024 in Victoria on a Zodiac boat with Prince of Whales, guided by Captain Trey ( I hope I got his name right). He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and even knew the names of the five orcas we were lucky enough to see hunting food and playing. Captain Trey's expertise and control of the boat made the high-speed ride feel both exciting and safe. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whales, as well as the birds, sea lions, and seals we encountered. I learned so much from Captain Trey, who was not only an excellent guide but also a skilled captain. I highly recommend Prince of Whales Whale Watching and commend Captain Trey for making the experience unforgettable. Thank you and more power Prince of Whales Whale Watching!🤩👏👍

      Absolutely loved every minute. The boats were comfortable & not too crowded, everything was organised well & all the staff were so very friendly & informative. Miranda certainly knew her stuff & we learnt so much. It didn't take long before we saw several humpbacks. Such amazing beautiful animals & such an honour to see them in the wild. Thank you POW cruises for a fantastic experience.

      Beautiful day!
      Honestly I have few words to say because what I saw was magnificent and stunning. Probably top 3 moments of my trip to Canada!! Definitely an activity to do, especially for those (as me) who has never seen orcas/ wales (but even if you have already, it's still worth it). I also appreciated the guides aboard as they were kind and available to any questions. Happy to have booked this activity! I admit that maybe either the weather (sunny day) or the ocean (was very calm actually) might have helped us spot / see the animals but however, beautiful experience!!

      Magic
      We did the all day photography tour on Sep 8 2024 . The trip was magical and everything we could have asked for from the crew. The effort that was put in to make sure we saw ocras and humpbacks was evident as this crew did not want to disappoint. We enjoyed our time on the water even between sightings , the crew was chatty but not overly so, we really appreciated the effort that was made for an awesome trip .We would go again 100%

      A Whale of a time!!!!!
      This whale watching tour was well worth the time and money! Fortunately we were on a tour with minimal people, so we all had the space to enjoy watching the whales and other wildlife. The crew was fantastic, helpful, knowledgeable, patient and definitely had the experience and passion for their jobs!

      Great Experience
      I really enjoyed the whale watching tour and would recommend it to anyone who has a soft spot for the sea and its inhabitants. The whales were simply impressive and breathtaking. The tour was very well organised, the people from Prince of Whales were all exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. They patiently answered all our questions and shared their knowledge with us. I liked the fact that you got the feeling that the animals' welfare was also taken into account and that they were not “hunted” with the whale watching boat. A great experience all round.

      Very enjoyable few hours
      Great afternoon with our infectiously upbeat skipper George on the Zodiac rib. The weather was glorious in the afternoon which helped and we saw orcas from a distance and some caught a glimpse of a humpback. The sea lions and single sea otter were unperturbed by the rib and we got fantastic views of those. Thoroughly enjoyable 3.5 hours or so with real enthusiasts. Highly recommended.

      Truly amazing tour …
      We’ve done lots of rib-rides around the world and thought this one would be similar … but how wrong we were! Yes we got to steam out of the harbour and see the city of Vancouver from the waterline. We also got to see some basking seals and posh houses in the expensive suburbs. We zoomed round anchored oil tankers and admired the natural beauty of Vancouver Island. But the best was still to come …. Fortunately our guide on the day was Captain Jake. Jake is very much attuned to the local environment and spotted blow holes as we raced around the bay. He calmly headed towards to spouts and got us close to four hump back whales feeding in the bay with a calf. ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. Jake’s commentary and great knowledge enhanced our excitement and understanding of these beautiful creatures. A wonderful trip, thank you Captain Jake.

      Beautiful Experience
      My wife and I were visiting Vancouver in late August and we took a sunset whale watching cruise with Prince of Whales. We were hoping to see maybe 1-2 whales if we’re lucky but this trip completely exceeded our expectations. It only took around 20min until we saw the first whale. The staff was very polite and knowledgeable about the whales and other wildlife around Vancouver so it was interesting to learn about how the animals behave and what the conservationist do to protect them. At one moment, we even saw a group of 5-6 whales together which was so beautiful. We had a fantastic experience and we will definitely go whale watching again in future.

    We did the 8:30 AM tour from Granville Island, on one of the custom build catamarans. Paid parking is available right in front, or at the Anderson Street Parking Lot nearby. On the weekend it's free until 11 AM, and only a minimal hourly fare after that.

    The tour itself took us 4 hours, and we were lucky to have spotted a Grey whale right close to the UBC campus - about 45 min after we departed. Following that about an hour and a half in, we saw multiple pods of orcas. Lastly we saw some seals, sea lions and bald eagles on a private island. The trip back took us about an hour.

    Stephen, Rebecca, Wilma and Sandy were fantastic! They were an all-star crew taking care of our safety, enthusiastically explaining about the wildlife (peppered with stories and anecdotes), manning the drinks station and also photographing! Their energy and attitude made up for the terrible weather (complimentary hot drinks helped too).

    The restrooms were clean and well maintained as well

    Would certainly recommend Prince of Whales' Whale Watching to anyone that hasn't done it before.

    The trip was spectacular! The crew did a great job of coordinating with the neighboring sea patrols to pinpoint the whereabouts of nearby wildlife. We got to see a ton, and learned a lot too from the tour guides. Overall, I would highly highly recommend this to everyone - it's a great way to see life from a different perspective.

    Had an amazing day! Crew members were very informative and knowledgeable. Wilma is such a sweet woman who loved to help take pictures for you. Rory was very friendly and bubbly. Our captain was Malcom and was the one to spot the pod of killer whales that had yet to be seen this year. We had very rough waters but the crew and captain made sure that our safety was put first and foremost. I highly recommend prince of whales adventures to anyone considering whale watching excursions. Our family had an perfect day even though the weather wasn't ideal. Thanks to the crew and captain. We will definitely be coming back. If you get to have Rory as a crew member, be sure to ask him for contact information for pictures. We forgot our camera and seen Rory taking pictures.

    Unbelievable Experience travelling with our Son: the best scenery, and the marine life we saw was just amazing. We saw three sets of humpback whales ( one a mother with her calf ), sea lions, seals, porpoises, and bald eagles. Very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the naturalists and crew (very kid friendly). The vessel was a dream riding on the water at eye level, well kept, and extremely clean. The whole experience was so memorable, I will be inviting my elderly mother on a special trip to join us on this excursion again. The whole Whale Watching Adventure from start to finish really showcased that this company really knows what they are doing, and I highly recommend this excursion and Prince of Whales.

    The crew on this adventure was the most awesome Captain Anthony, first mate Sandy and Naturalist Whalema and James.... so much knowledge and the whole time they kept us excited about what we were seeing and doing.
    The captain made sure we saw as much of the humpbacks as possible, he did try to take us where the orcas were but we didn’t get to see any. Whalema and James identified the tails and had stories about each one, it was so interesting. They made sure each passenger was taken care of and during this time of COVID made sure everything was sanitized. We could tell they truly LOVE their jobs and the whales in particular. I would and will pass this on to my B.C. friends.

    This activity was ok. We were lucky enough for it to not have rained, but I feel a bit disappointed with what we saw. We drove out for about 2 hours with nothing in site. After “seeing” armless seals, the captain turned around to head in another direction (for another hour) because they heard from another boat that there were whales south of wherever we were. We saw two whales’ dorsal fins and tails and watched them for half an hour, but no water from the blowhole and they didn’t surface. I guess I expected too much out of the tour? I’m just a little shocked that this is one of the most popular tours in Vancouver.
    The cruise ship was comfortable and they had an insulated lounge below deck to warm up. They offered complimentary coffee and tea I believe. There were snacks offered for $3 each which goes to a whale foundation.
    Overall, I wouldn’t book again or recommend just because I feel like you could spend 5-6 hours doing something better.

    t_xiao22, Thank you so much for your review! We apologize for your disappointment in the tour, we unfortunately cannot control whether whales breach or not as they are wild animals. We are glad you enjoyed the ship; we do what we can to make the experience a comfortable one for our guests. Our year-round whale sighting success rate is ~95% (averaged across all of our adventures) with chances being even higher during summer months, so we hope you book with us again and that your next tour can be a 5 star experience!

    Highly recommend this tour. Leaving from Granville Island is very convenient and it’s a great day out on the water. Even if you don’t see as many whales as you are hoping for, the scenery is worth it. And, if you don’t see any whales at all, you can rebook another trip for free!

    The entire team were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Wilma, and the other naturalists were very enthusiastic and engaging. They really made an effort to educate everyone about what we were going to see, and what we were actually witnessing, as well as answering questions. They actually went around the boat, sitting with groups and individuals.

    What you should know in advance:
    1. The tours are not allowed to approach the whales, and must stay at least 200m away. This means that the whales are really far off in the distance. Phone cameras aren’t really going to give you the best pictures, luckily, Prince of Whales provides you with professional photos of the wildlife spotted on your trip. If you have a camera with a long lens, go for it. Otherwise, just enjoy the experience and don’t worry about taking photos.

    2. You are allowed to bring your own food and drinks. Do so. It’s a long trip, and there are bathrooms and tables on board. Granville Island has lots of places to pick up food, if you’ve forgotten. There is coffee, tea and hot chocolate available onboard but the snacks were not available on my trip.

    3. It does get cold and very windy if you’re sitting outside. Hold on to your hats! However, the boat comes to a stop, slow cruise once whales are spotted.

    4. It takes about an hour and a half before you reach the first whale spotting location. Enjoy the views.

    5. They had phone chargers onboard, if needed.

    6. Bring and use lots of sunscreen. It’s intense on the water and you can get a really bad sunburn. Take advantage of the covered areas onboard.

    Overall, it’s well worthwhile! Have fun!

    This was a great morning out with the Prince of Whales crew on their catamaran. Booking was really easy a day or so before the trip. We turned up at 8am and got on board. Nice welcome and a safety talk then off.

    We saw humpback whales, mainly one in particular with a distinctive tail marking. Lucas our nature guide was able to tell us from their photo book which named whale it was. Lucas talked to us throughout about different aspects of the whale’s life including how it feeds, sleeps, migrates, mixes with other whales and sea life. All really interesting and delivered with great knowledge and a lot of humour. Also a lot of info about nature in the area, and how it was dealing with humans. We had a load of opportunities to see our whale blowing and then surfacing, with its tail fully on show. We then saw other sea life including Steller sea lions and harbour seals, before turning for home.

    The trip took about 4-4.5 hours and was worth ever penny/dollar. The crew were so friendly and helpful. We had one kid who got a bit seasick, and the crew just sorted it all out and looked after him brilliantly.

    We were visiting from Wales, and had been whale and bear watching on a zodiac boat in Tofino the week before. This was different but just as good and I’d highly recommend this trip. Make sure you’re well wrapped up as the boat goes out into exposed waters! Thanks Prince of Whales.

    One really nice touch is that after you get back, they text you a link to the photos the crew took during the trip (far better than anything I could take) so you have a free set of memories from your day.

    My self my daughter and grand son are really glad we went on the whale watching tour. Travelled a says out and were starting to think we would see nothing my daughter and grand son saw the spouting they up came Heather and her calf. That was amazing but they didn't stay long. We turned onto a different direction and it wasn't long before we saw a party of five orcas. Boy it was like a party the bigger ones were splashing their tails onto the water jumping out and flipping over. We watch them for over half an hour and they were still playing when we left. There is nothing like it. People have to book and go see themselves. Crew were amazing and knowledgeable and safety for covid was explained and followed. Thankyou.

    We (me, wife kids 7 & 9)went on this tour on the morning of Saturday 23 August. It was a gorgeous day, but you really do need to wrap up warm if you want to sit out in the deck, as the wind makes it cold. Even though it was a hot day, I wore trousers, a hoodie and a wind proof coat on the coat.

    We had a European lady who was our guide and she was great, bring so knowledgable about everything we saw. We managed to see loads of harbour porpoises, sea lions, seals and golden eagles. However we didn’t see any whales (but the trip was great even without this)! With this tour, you have a listing guarantee that you can keep going on the trip for a small cost (fuel surcharge), so we booked on the very next day.

    The second trip was in the afternoon and our guide was Tobyn who was equally knowledgable as the lady on the first trip. We saw seals once again and this time we saw a hump back whale. We were able to watch it for around 30 mins which was great and exactly what we were hoping for.

    The crewe take loads of photos and email them to your afterwards, so you don’t need to worry about trying to capture a good shot.

    The trip takes between 4-5 hours and according to my GPS watch you cover between 75-100 miles. There is some beautiful scenery and I would highly recommend going if your thinking about it!
