The weather was cold, we went on October 8th. They did everything to make us comfortable and keep us warm.

We would highly... more

I had a group of 44 that I took out on a Prince of Whales boat. They were receptive to our booking and well organized. The day on the water was outstanding and of course great that we saw so many orcas. The staff were knowledgeable and professional. A great adventure. Don Brown Canadian Society of Club Managers more

We went on a whale watching excursion with Prince of Whales in Victoria. We chose the Ocean Magic ship, which has an open top deck, and an enclosed bottom deck. They also have open air zodiacs, which look like a lot of fun, but we chose the Ocean magic because it was a bit chilly outside. The cruise had a... more
