On same trip with earlier reviewer BlueHughes. Yes, over and above natualists/captain! I wish JB would post his photo of Mt Baker breach sent to all on trip. Awsome! Saw over 40 of the 80+ Orcas in the area, Dall's porpoises bow-riding us, eagles, and all those amazing whales! And the great vocalizations we got to hear as well! IAll... More

Our family of four adults were privileged to join two of the Western Prince Whale Watching tours...one on October 9 and one on October 11, 2011. We ventured out on the zodiac on our first trip. The weather was spectacular but chilly out on the water. We wore several layers of clothing and the company provided us with cozy flotation... More

We chose this whale watching company based on their Trip Advisor rating and reviews. It turns out that this company is awesome! The guides, Alison and JB were very friendly and knowledgable and the captain and owner, Ivan, was outstanding! We were lucky enough to see what is called a "superpod" of orcas! They were everywhere, which is unusual for... More

We went there with our family and booked tickets for 8 people: 6 adults, one 7 year old and one 22 months old. As soon as we got in the boat one of the ladies came and gave us two life jackets, one for each child. My 22 months old did not want to wear it and she told me... More

Went out on the noon boat this past Sunday (10/2). Saw about a half dozen whales out and about hunting for over an hour. Great trip. Something I've wanted to do my entire life and I wasn't disappointed. I have to admit, I was nervous planning a trip all the way from Los Angeles to see whales that may or... More

Excellent experience on the Western Prince II - our 2 naturalists and Capt Pete were engaging, informative, and fun. It didn't hurt that the whales (probably saw 20 different - including 2 that went under our boat - wow!!!), dolphins, seals, sea lions, and a bald eagle all joined in on a sunny late September afternoon.

The tour before us did not see any orcas. Our captain took a chance to catch up to two pods on the outer range of our tour area. We hit the jackpot and saw about a dozen orcas. They approached us so close we had to turn off the engines. The naturalists were friendly and informative. It was a memorable... More

We had such a great time on this Orca tour with the great captain and naturalists on board. The weather was incredible and we saw many, many pods of transient and local orcas and had an incredible time with the other guests and staff. Not everyone is going to have this experience, but for us it was absolute perfection. John... More

We took the tour right after Labor Day. It's true that the owners do not guarantee 100% whale encounters, but only 90%. Apparently, we fell in the 10%. However, they told us that visitors one day before didn't see whales as well. So I'm not so sure about the 90%. What did we see? Sea lions, some dolphins here and... More
