Amazing whale watching experience! We saw 3 or 4 different pods of orcas and the weather was very nice for march. Whatever month you go though, WEAR LAYERS. And when you think you have enough, put more on. They'll give you waterproof jackets and pants to put on and you'll be sweltering for a few minutes but once the boat picks up speed you'll be happy you wore everything. No point in bringing a bag or water bottle on ad you'll have to stow it and won't have access anyway (if you're taking the zodiac tour).

We just went whale watching yesterday and had an Incredible experience! Lily and Valerie were the best tour guides, so energetic and enthusiastic about everything whales and oceans and very informative! The boat also offered blankets and hats and mitts which were great if you don’t come quite fully prepared. The boat also has washrooms and snacks onboard! I’d rate this 7/5 stars if I could and I hope one day we are able to do it again!

Once in a lifetime experience! I’ve been wanting to do this for years, and was so excited to finally get a chance to check it off my bucket list! The guide explained that the ride would be more bumpy in the front of the zodiac, which I appreciated, but I chose to do so, really wanting the full experience. It was amazing. Literally, such a thrill, I wasn’t even worried that I didn’t see whales right away! The guide pointed out Bald Eagles, sea lions, brought us by islands that had sheep climbing almost vertical hillsides, and the experience of zipping through the water, feeling the spray on your face was everything they advertised. We looked all over, but as you would expect with wild animals, there was no guarantee they would jump up and perform as some people seem to expect lol. We were almost back to our starting point and our guide saw a pod of Orca’s! We were the first people that day to spot whales and it was thrilling! They were so beautiful, i couldn’t believe how lucky we were to be there, seeing them so close. Our guide didn’t rush off, even though our time had already been up, knowing everyone was so excited to have just found them. Admittedly I was a little sore the next day, but we had been warned and no more than if I had enjoyed a vigorous hike to see an amazing view. It was exciting and beautiful, thank you so so much for giving me this absolutely perfect day!

I had an extraordinary time with Prince of Whales! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the boat was comfortable and seemed well maintained, and we did see Orcas! Even though it was a long trip out to where the whales were that day the staff kept us entertained with information on the islands we were passing, pointing out other wildlife around us and giving us information about Orcas. It was quite a chilly day on the water so the free coffee and hot chocolate they offered was a nice bonus. My husband and I had a really lovely time and look forward to another tour with this company! Highly recommended!

It is an institution which helps tourists in whale watching and has guided tours . You can choose any of the tours and book early to avoid disappointment. Before boarding the boat you will have to put on a special gadget orange in colour over our dress to protect us from the vagaries of the weather. Then we are allowed to board the boat. The boats are either covered or open. You are taken out in the boat by experienced crew and they provide you with your monies worth of enjoyment in seeing the whales and other creatures like the sealions etc.
