We went out on the first day, and didn't see any whales. However, they allow you to come back anytime for no charge. We ended up going the next day, and within 10 minutes, saw a pod of orca whales! The guides are very knowledgable, and they respect the wildlife. Would definitely recommend.
We looked at a number of companies online but were so happy we made the right choice in the end to go with Prince of Whales. Special mention to Ocean, Mac, Pascale and Anthony. Ocean was just awesome with her stories of deep sea fishing and all her experience at sea. All of them did their upmost to make the trip a successful one. We really recommend doing this trip as you get to see the whales and it is a really useful way to reach Vancouver avoiding the ferry fee. We went on this trip on the 12th of September and have been meaning to write a review ever since, sorry for the delay as you were all brilliant. Pascal also sends you professional images which helps as it is really hard to capture the orcas on camera otherwise. As soon a I saw the orcas (which was on the final leg to Vancouver) I was so emotional and overwhelmed to see them in the wild. People should go in with expectations that you cannot go very close to the whales or orca as there are regulations for all boats, which is a good thing. Don't hesitate to book with this highly professional team.
I’ve booked a tour to watch the whales with them. I came all way from Brazil and I was in a high expectation for that tour. I have received my confirmation by email. The day of the tour, I run to the point, to not be late. And there, the person that was at the office, simple told me “the tour hav been canceled “. They said it happened because of the weather. But the sun was finally shining in Vancouver. Then I tried to reschedule the tour, but she said that is was the last day of the season... very disappointed and very unhappy with the bad assistance they gave me! I think I deserve at least a email canceling the tour !!
Dear Yamna,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. As you can imagine, we would have prefer not to cancel the tour due to weather conditions. The wind was quite strong on that day. We tried to reached out with all guests booked on the boat for that day and I am sorry that we could not reached out to you. I totally understand your disappointment not to have the opportunity to see the whales.
Your tour was reimbursed and I hope you can join us next time you will be in Vancouver or Victoria.
Kind regards
We went out on the half day trip from Vancouver on 03-Nov-18. We knew that this would be late in the season and moderated our expectations.
Anyway - long story cut short - the crew managed to find a pod of Orcas for us to watch for about 30 minutes. Just incredible. a true life experience.
The tour is is great - the boat fantastic and the crew really knowledgeable.
Highly recommended.

Unforgettable experience indeed. Amazing whale sightings (yes plural!). Pascal and the team on the boat were informative and accommodating and just overall awesome. I would do this tour again and bring even more friends next time!

We did this trip out of Vancouver yesterday and had a great time! The crew were friendly and really knowledgeable and made sure that everyone got the best of their day. It ended up being quite cold but they had phoned us ahead of time and told us it might be and to dress warm, and lots of blankets were provided. We were lucky enough to see humpback whales and stayed to watch them for a while before heading off in search of other wildlife. Sea lions, harbour seals and a bald eagle as well as some truly stunning views. We had a great day and would definitely do it again!
Thank you for your great review Morven G!
