Amazing experience - Wonderful experience. Everything about it was professional from the start. Felt very well looked after. Great group. Lovely weather. When you see the whales (which was many) it was other worldly. So worth e every penny.

Very fun and worthwhile - Highly recommend. Hung around with a pod of transient orcas for just under an hour! We also briefly caught a humpback diving. We saw stellar sea lions, California sea lions and harbor seals. Marshall was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and friendly. FYI the zodiac is bumpy, very fun but maybe not for those with back issues.

Fun tour saw lots of whales - This trip is really amazing, we saw 9 transient killer whales, eagles, otters, seals, and some fried egg jellyfish. Trae is such a fun and experienced captain, told us a lot of things about whales and the dynamics of sea life, and very experienced at sailing through some stretches of choppy waters too (so much fun!) I highly recommend this tour!

Whale Watching - Tour was amazing and Marshall was a great captain and guide. We saw a ton of Orcas and Marshall really knows his whale facts.

Princes of Whales Tour - Marshall was by far one of the best tour guides I have ever had before! He is super knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information on whales and the local area. Marshall also did a great job with checking in on the group and making sure we were all enjoying ourselves! Also, shoutout to Sam who was super helpful with putting away our suits at the end of the tour!

A thrilling afternoon in the Salish Sea - We had an excellent trip out on the Zodiac with our guide and Skipper Marshall.
Our first attempt at finding whales was thwarted by fog, but we moved to a different part of the Salish Sea and got to hang out with a beautiful humpback whale who was feeding on krill.
Choose the Zodiac option if you enjoy the thrills of speed boats- it is open air and moves up 55miles an hour! Our guide Marshall was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely skilled at driving the boat- we moved fast and had some exciting dips and bumps on the waves, but safety was never a concern.
(If you’d rather have a calmer ride on a larger boat- opt for the Catamaran)
All in all, a highly recommended experience, well worth the price tag. I’d be happy to do it again next time I visit Victoria.

Zodiac tour - Fun informative skipper. Overall great experience. Although we only saw one humpback whale, our Captain Marshall was great. It was just fog and nature that prohibited us from seeing more. The ride in the Zodiac was a lot of fun.

Cancelled our tour three minutes before - Three minutes before our scheduled tour they cancelled due to the captain calling in sick. Because we were on a cruise, everything else was booked that day, essentially ruining our day at port. I get that these things happen, but it still ruined our day.
