Overview

This adventure is a 3.5 to 4 hour fully-guided whale watching, wildlife and sunset viewing tour departing from Downtown Victoria on the Salish Sea Eclipse - a state-of-the-art covered catamaran with three viewing decks! Your adventure will be ending when the sun goes down and will be an experience to remember!

Itinerary

Experience the majesty of the Salish Sea and its wildlife, from whales surfacing in unison to bald eagles soaring overhead. Cut through the Strait of Juan de Fuca’s currents in search of orcas and humpback whales, and listen to our marine mammal experts bring the animal’s stories to life (while you stay warm, dry and hydrated in its heated cabin, of course!) The quintessential whale watching experience for every adventurer. Immerse yourself completely in this incredible experience while we take free high-resolution photos of the wildlife, the landscape and your loved ones!

Ease into the evening aboard our luxury catamaran, Salish Sea Eclipse, as we depart Victoria’s scenic inner harbour. This 3.5-4 hour tour is a photographer’s favourite and a relaxing way to end the day as the sun sets over the Salish Sea.

My fiancé, best friend and I went on the sunset whale watching tour August 19th 2023 and it was an incredible experience! The customer service/tour was really great, we loved the knowledge and insight from Jamie, Algebra, and other crew members Richard, Lindsey, and Rajan. We even got to see a few sightings of killer whales and the sea lions were cool! An experience we would highly recommend! We will definitely be going on another one when we are back in Victoria :)

We were on our honeymoon and had arranged a sunset tour since we arrived to Victoria in the morning, so the whole day was arranged around the sunset tour. When we arrived at the tour checkin, we were told the tour was cancelled due to ‘boat maintenance issues’. It was too late to arrange another whale watching tour with another company. We were offered the option of booking another sunset tour on another day, which obviously we didn’t accept as there was no guarantee this wouldn’t be cancelled due to last minute boat issues too. We did get a full refund. We were told they had tried to contact us by phone to inform of the cancellation but we hadn’t received any calls or missed calls. An email was sent (that morning) to tell us the tour was cancelled but we hadn’t received it as we’d been without WiFi all day plus checking my emails isn’t a priority whilst I’m on honeymoon! Very disappointed by the last minute cancellation and the excuse given. I’m sure “customer safety” will be the feedback given to this review but maybe don’t accept bookings if your boats aren’t maintained and need a last minute service. Plus there must be other boats available in the fleet. Maybe I’m just cynical but it was very disappointing and annoying. To compound the annoyance, orcas were spotted on other tours that evening which we missed. So.. thanks for nothing!

We had a fabulous time with the Prince of Whales crew (Richard, Lindsey, Traben &Rajan). Everyone was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The weather didn't exactly cooperate, but they did not shy away from the rain and continued searching / spotting Orcas and Humpback whales. We encountered each multiple times, and then passed by the lighthouse on the way in to see the sealions. We were torn between the day and the evening tour that we ultimately booked, and it was a great call. The sunset coming back in to Victoria was beautiful. There's plenty of companies in both Vancover and Victoria that offer various tours, but I would book again with Prince of Whales in a heartbeat. Thank you again!
