    Excellent whale watching tour. We saw lots of humpback whales and seals. The naturalist on board were awesome. Wilma was
    excellent tour. They knew right where to take us to find Wales. We saw tons of humpback whales. The naturalist on board were excellent. We sat on up on top and had Wilma as our naturalist. She entertained us the whole time and was amazing. We also saw sealsand learned so much about ocean life.

    Definitely worth it!
    Really great experience, very knowledgable naturalists (Roisin, Wilma and Petra) with lots of information on the different species. We saw five humpbacks, with some coming very close to the boat - so surreal - hat tip to Captain Malcolm for managing that. Got some great shots from Sandy emailed later in the evening. Definitely worth booking when in Vancouver, even in the rain!

    V close encounter of the pectoral fin slapping kind!
    Thank you for a fantastic trip. Great contact with a pair of humpbacks one of which was slapping both pectoral fins simultaneously. Amanda was excellent at telling us what was happening.

    Highly recommended
    Incredible experience. Booked this months ago as I’d always wanted to see whales in the wild. POW changed my booking time but were speedy and polite with communications. The trip itself was awesome. The boat is comfortable and the staff , especially Jill who was with us at the front of the boat, were all professional and hugely passionate about the marine life we saw. They took time to engage and explain a lot about the whales and the locations. We saw a number of humpbacks on our trip and the captain remained sensitive to the need to give them space and distance. Sadly no Orcas seen but on the whole a highly recommended trip. And they send you a batch of free photos taken by the crew on the day. Wrap up warm though as whilst you may leave Granville Island in glorious sunshine it soon gets colder and windy out on the water.

    Excellent tour
    Would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Getting to see the whales (we were lucky enough to see both orcas and humpbacks) was incredible, and in general the scenery was stunning. The staff were all extremely helpful and professional and the inclusion of free hot chocolate was really nice. Our naturalist guide, Maurice, had a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all of our questions in excellent detail. His enthusiasm really shone through and he kept us all engaged for the whole tour. We left feeling satisfied that we had experienced amazing wildlife viewing in a responsible way, and had also learned a load - overall, it was even better than we had hoped for!

    Amazing tour and crew!
    This was such a great experience, we did the sunset tour and saw so many orcas and humpback whales, and even go to see the DFO in action when people were harassing the whales, I would recommended to everyone! The crew was so incredibly nice and informative and even helped out my fiancé when he proposed at the end of the tour, and on top of that gave us a little engagement gift too. We will definitely be coming back, this was such an incredible and memorable experience.

    Highly recommend the Sunset Whale Watching Catamaran Tour!
    We went on the Sunset Whale Watching Cruise on Friday, September 1st, 2023, and it was amazing! We are locals and want to experience our beautiful backyard. The catamaran was a great way to get out on the water and was clean and comfortable. The hot chocolate was a nice touch. The team: Sandy, Malcolm, Stephen, Tobin and Roisin are fantastic! You could really see and feel their enthusiasm as they shared their knowledge of our ocean and the extraordinary creatures in it. We saw a ton of humpback whales, which we will remember forever. The pictures they take and give you access to are excellent. It allows you to be in the moment and enjoy the whale watching without trying to get the perfect shot. We will definitely do it again next year and hopefully see some Orcas!

    We highly recommend this excursion with Prince of Whales. The crew is passionate about what they do and very informative. The captain went out of his way to give us the best experience possible. We saw humpbacks, orcas, seals and a bald eagle. Truly AMAZING experience.

    A Whale of a Time
    Wow, what a trip. We were out on the boat for just over 4 hours and we were lucky enough to see a humpback whale and then a pod of 4 Orcas. The staff were really helpful at explaining any questions and were taking lots of photos which are emailed to you after your trip. Taking pictures on a camera phone doesn’t do these mammals justice so just enjoyed watching them. There are toilets and snack facilities onboard as well. Dress warmly even if it is a really sunny day - it does get windy and chilly on deck. Although there is an enclosed lower deck as well. Thank you for a really enjoyable trip, the sunset over Sunset Beach was a beautiful end to the day.

Unbelievable Experience travelling with our Son: the best scenery, and the marine life we saw was just amazing. We saw three sets of humpback whales ( one a mother with her calf ), sea lions, seals, porpoises, and bald eagles. Very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the naturalists and crew (very kid friendly). The vessel was a dream riding on the water at eye level, well kept, and extremely clean. The whole experience was so memorable, I will be inviting my elderly mother on a special trip to join us on this excursion again. The whole Whale Watching Adventure from start to finish really showcased that this company really knows what they are doing, and I highly recommend this excursion and Prince of Whales.

The crew on this adventure was the most awesome Captain Anthony, first mate Sandy and Naturalist Whalema and James.... so much knowledge and the whole time they kept us excited about what we were seeing and doing.
The captain made sure we saw as much of the humpbacks as possible, he did try to take us where the orcas were but we didn’t get to see any. Whalema and James identified the tails and had stories about each one, it was so interesting. They made sure each passenger was taken care of and during this time of COVID made sure everything was sanitized. We could tell they truly LOVE their jobs and the whales in particular. I would and will pass this on to my B.C. friends.

This activity was ok. We were lucky enough for it to not have rained, but I feel a bit disappointed with what we saw. We drove out for about 2 hours with nothing in site. After “seeing” armless seals, the captain turned around to head in another direction (for another hour) because they heard from another boat that there were whales south of wherever we were. We saw two whales’ dorsal fins and tails and watched them for half an hour, but no water from the blowhole and they didn’t surface. I guess I expected too much out of the tour? I’m just a little shocked that this is one of the most popular tours in Vancouver.
The cruise ship was comfortable and they had an insulated lounge below deck to warm up. They offered complimentary coffee and tea I believe. There were snacks offered for $3 each which goes to a whale foundation.
Overall, I wouldn’t book again or recommend just because I feel like you could spend 5-6 hours doing something better.

t_xiao22, Thank you so much for your review! We apologize for your disappointment in the tour, we unfortunately cannot control whether whales breach or not as they are wild animals. We are glad you enjoyed the ship; we do what we can to make the experience a comfortable one for our guests. Our year-round whale sighting success rate is ~95% (averaged across all of our adventures) with chances being even higher during summer months, so we hope you book with us again and that your next tour can be a 5 star experience!

Highly recommend this tour. Leaving from Granville Island is very convenient and it’s a great day out on the water. Even if you don’t see as many whales as you are hoping for, the scenery is worth it. And, if you don’t see any whales at all, you can rebook another trip for free!

The entire team were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Wilma, and the other naturalists were very enthusiastic and engaging. They really made an effort to educate everyone about what we were going to see, and what we were actually witnessing, as well as answering questions. They actually went around the boat, sitting with groups and individuals.

What you should know in advance:
1. The tours are not allowed to approach the whales, and must stay at least 200m away. This means that the whales are really far off in the distance. Phone cameras aren’t really going to give you the best pictures, luckily, Prince of Whales provides you with professional photos of the wildlife spotted on your trip. If you have a camera with a long lens, go for it. Otherwise, just enjoy the experience and don’t worry about taking photos.

2. You are allowed to bring your own food and drinks. Do so. It’s a long trip, and there are bathrooms and tables on board. Granville Island has lots of places to pick up food, if you’ve forgotten. There is coffee, tea and hot chocolate available onboard but the snacks were not available on my trip.

3. It does get cold and very windy if you’re sitting outside. Hold on to your hats! However, the boat comes to a stop, slow cruise once whales are spotted.

4. It takes about an hour and a half before you reach the first whale spotting location. Enjoy the views.

5. They had phone chargers onboard, if needed.

6. Bring and use lots of sunscreen. It’s intense on the water and you can get a really bad sunburn. Take advantage of the covered areas onboard.

Overall, it’s well worthwhile! Have fun!

This was a great morning out with the Prince of Whales crew on their catamaran. Booking was really easy a day or so before the trip. We turned up at 8am and got on board. Nice welcome and a safety talk then off.

We saw humpback whales, mainly one in particular with a distinctive tail marking. Lucas our nature guide was able to tell us from their photo book which named whale it was. Lucas talked to us throughout about different aspects of the whale’s life including how it feeds, sleeps, migrates, mixes with other whales and sea life. All really interesting and delivered with great knowledge and a lot of humour. Also a lot of info about nature in the area, and how it was dealing with humans. We had a load of opportunities to see our whale blowing and then surfacing, with its tail fully on show. We then saw other sea life including Steller sea lions and harbour seals, before turning for home.

The trip took about 4-4.5 hours and was worth ever penny/dollar. The crew were so friendly and helpful. We had one kid who got a bit seasick, and the crew just sorted it all out and looked after him brilliantly.

We were visiting from Wales, and had been whale and bear watching on a zodiac boat in Tofino the week before. This was different but just as good and I’d highly recommend this trip. Make sure you’re well wrapped up as the boat goes out into exposed waters! Thanks Prince of Whales.

One really nice touch is that after you get back, they text you a link to the photos the crew took during the trip (far better than anything I could take) so you have a free set of memories from your day.

My self my daughter and grand son are really glad we went on the whale watching tour. Travelled a says out and were starting to think we would see nothing my daughter and grand son saw the spouting they up came Heather and her calf. That was amazing but they didn't stay long. We turned onto a different direction and it wasn't long before we saw a party of five orcas. Boy it was like a party the bigger ones were splashing their tails onto the water jumping out and flipping over. We watch them for over half an hour and they were still playing when we left. There is nothing like it. People have to book and go see themselves. Crew were amazing and knowledgeable and safety for covid was explained and followed. Thankyou.

We (me, wife kids 7 & 9)went on this tour on the morning of Saturday 23 August. It was a gorgeous day, but you really do need to wrap up warm if you want to sit out in the deck, as the wind makes it cold. Even though it was a hot day, I wore trousers, a hoodie and a wind proof coat on the coat.

We had a European lady who was our guide and she was great, bring so knowledgable about everything we saw. We managed to see loads of harbour porpoises, sea lions, seals and golden eagles. However we didn’t see any whales (but the trip was great even without this)! With this tour, you have a listing guarantee that you can keep going on the trip for a small cost (fuel surcharge), so we booked on the very next day.

The second trip was in the afternoon and our guide was Tobyn who was equally knowledgable as the lady on the first trip. We saw seals once again and this time we saw a hump back whale. We were able to watch it for around 30 mins which was great and exactly what we were hoping for.

The crewe take loads of photos and email them to your afterwards, so you don’t need to worry about trying to capture a good shot.

The trip takes between 4-5 hours and according to my GPS watch you cover between 75-100 miles. There is some beautiful scenery and I would highly recommend going if your thinking about it!

After a disapointed trip last year from Victoria, the weather conditions were against us, my daughter and I decided to give a second chance on July 5th, 2020. OMG! we had the most unbelievable whale watching day EVER! We saw two packs of killer whales mingling together and they came so close to the boat, along with not one but two Humpbacks joining the packs. Something rarely seen before. They gave us quite the show!
Shoutout to the crew, they were amazing! I also want to mention that I appreciated the fact that they are respecting the wild life to the fullest. Stopping the boat motors showed me how professional they were and how much they care. They don't stressed the animals and we can watch as long as possible.
Unfortunately I can't post any pictures cause all I have is an iPhone. This is one of those time where I wish I'd have a GOOD camera! Took great videos though.
Thank you, thank you, thank you :-)

I can't say enough about our experience on the Prince of Whales half day whale watching Adventure. Amazing experience and amazing staff.

It was supposed to rain all day and yet it was completely Sunny which of course they had nothing to do with but we apparently set three whale watching records on our journey.

We saw the most whales ever (a total of 7 humpbacks during their pre Mexico Feeding Frenzy), we got the closest they had ever been to a whale (about 20 metres) as the whales kept coming closer and closer to our boat despite trying to get away from them and we saw lunge feeding where the whale a bunch of fish from below and then opens his mouth wide and almost leaps from the water.

The staff was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and possibly more enthusiastic than the passengers. They were yelling and screaming along with us. I would love to give a shout out to specific staff members but the only one whose name I can remember was Wilma who is from Austria and had an accent that made her sound like Werner Herzog narrating one of his incredible documentaries. It just made the whole thing seem that much more important. The captain had excellent instincts with regards to which direction to face the boat and also had the sense to kill the engine entirely when we were close to the whales. There is absolutely nothing like the silence that is broken by the sound of a breathing whale. Who knew that whales also trumpeted a little bit like elephants to sometimes show their displeasure about what another whale is doing.

About the boat itself, it is extremely fast and smooth despite choppy Waters and very quiet and comfortable inside. Lots of room on the fore and aft decks for viewing the animals. Extremely convenient departure location on Granville Island. We also got to see sun-basking sea lions and because we were almost bored from seeing so many whales even went to find bald eagles but there were none.

Simply an incredible experience which had a lot to do with the company, boat and staff but of course it all depends on whales and weather showing up.
