Wow! This trip was amazing! We got a call the day before checking we were still coming and suggesting we layer up and to take seasickness tables if we were susceptible as it looked like it sited be windy and therefore a bit choppy. As it turned out, i thought it was pretty calm. The boat was great, lots of space to move around and the trip out was very scenic. We found a pod in the middle of hunting a sea lion. One of the ladies said she had been working on the boat three years and this was the first time she had seen a hunt and so we were very lucky, I don’t think the sea lion felt the same way. It was fantastic to see them in their natural environment doing what Orcas do and all the staff were extremely knowledgeable about who we were watching and about Whales on general. The captain was respectful at keeping his distance, giving the orcas lots of space. On the way back we spotted sea lions chilling on a rock. The thing that topped it for me though was the willingness to send the photos the staff took with their big lenses to everyone on the trip at no extra charge! Amazing trip, fabulous people would highly recommend.

We went with Prince of Whales on a four hour whale watching trip on a beautiful sunny day last week. The views on the boat while sailing from vancouver island are absolutely stunning and worth booking just for that, if you like being on the water the you'll be happy, some seabirds to be spotted which was great for me as I'm a big bird fan. The main event was a huge male biggs orca called Harbeson who spent around an hour with us surfacing around the boat with a big 'whoosh', which you could feel in your toes! It was an absolutely life changing experience and I am still reliving it now! It was an honour to be in the presence of such a beautiful amonal and to see him in his natural environment was perfect. The captain was respectful and never got too close, turning down the engines and just allowing the whale to make the decisions; this is the way to watch wildlife. The crew (Raj, Jesse and Tyler) were amazing! You could tell they were all equally as exited which was great to see! They had tonnes of knowledge about the wildife and the area and were great fun to chat to. A special mention to Raj who was us when we spotted Harbeson, he only spoke when the whale was diving giving us time to just watch in peaceful awe everytime he came back up for air. He knew loads about the whales and gave us lots of really fantastic info. I had come to see orca and I was not disappointed. They also took is to see the Stellas sea lions which was a real treat on the way back to port! The company's green and sustainability credentials are a big win for me too. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone!
