Fantastic experience, wonderful views of the Orca's, several pods seen.
Obviously a good Captain/First Mate (Richard/Sandy) is essential to find the Orca's in the first place, then the ongoing commentary from the extremely knowledgeable naturalists Algebra, Jesse and Reid made the experience so much better. Then to my surprise the photos taken by the naturalist team have been emailed to all who were onboard that day, fabulous surprise, very much appreciated absolute bonus.
Special mention for Algebra, very entertaining I suspect she has missed her true calling - the Stage, very amusing!! Thoroughly recommend Prince of Whales.Trip date 10 May 2024.

Great tour, we followed the Orcas for 45 minutes. We also saw some seals! Algebra’s commentary was informative, funny and entertaining.

This exceeded my expectations. The crew was very friendly and taught us so much about the whales and other wildlife. They took extra time to let us enjoy watching a pod of orcas. So amazing! It was the best part of our visit to Victoria! They even gave us a rose for Mothers Day.

Beautiful weather. A pod of orcas, dozens of seals and great information from the staff on both species. We were able to get up fairly close to the orcas and right next to the seals!

We were treated to perfect weather and amazing clusters of orcas and the perfect team to facilitate it all. Jesse, Reid, Algebra and Captain Richard and First Mate Sandy were fantastic - so informative, friendly and ready for anything. The boat was beautiful and spacious with full windows and I could not recommend it enough. You are in good hands with the Prince of Whales team.

This was a spectacular day which i will never forget. We were looked after by a crew who genuinely cared about their work. Francois and Giord the captain and first mate shared information about the area we travelled through and then having experienced marine biologists on board was extraordinary as Rajan, Sophia and Reid shared their extensive knowledge of the whale, nothing was too much trouble. The free hot refreshments were a fantastic bonus. The highlight for me was listening to the whales from the underwater microphone whilst watching them, no pictures can supplant that moment of peace with nature. Thank- you all for making this so much more than a boat trip!

This was on my bucket list forever. I love the orcas and got to see many with one big one came up to the window then dive under the boat. The staff was kind. I had some mobility issues and the staff was so helpful. I would rate it 10/10.

This tour is highly recommended after today’s experience. When choosing these tours that are very dependable on outside factors such as weather and the animals coming to say hi you don’t know what the outcome will be however ours today was amazing, the crew was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained. Captain took us to a great location with great views of whales from the moment we got there til the moment we left. 10/10 experience and would recommend
