When you step aboard a Prince of Whales vessel, you are getting far more than just a ride out on the water. You are joining a team of passionate marine naturalists and certified captains dedicated to keeping you safe while providing commentary throughout your experience!
Safety First, Every Single Tour
From the moment you arrive at the dock, your safety is our top priority. Before leaving the harbour, our crew provide a clear, straightforward safety briefing so everyone feels comfortable and prepared.
Our captains and crew hold professional Transport Canada certifications and undergo routine training in marine emergency response, first aid, and safe vessel navigation. Whether you are cruising out on the Zodiac or Catamaran, you can sit back knowing you are in the hands of seasoned ocean professionals.
On Board Commentary
Once out on the Salish Sea, our onboard marine naturalists bring the surrounding ecosystem to life. They do not read from a fixed script. Instead, they interpret real-time wildlife interactions as they happen.
From certified marine biologists to lifelong mariners who have spent decades out on the water, every crew member is a true ocean expert. They share fascinating facts about local wildlife. From explaining how why transient killer whales hunt in silence, to how marine conservation efforts protect coastal British Columbia.
Ask Us Anything
Our naturalists and captains love what they do, and they love talking about it even more. Have you ever wondered how deep a humpback can dive, how naturalists tell individual whales apart, or what hydrophones listen for underwater?
We encourage all of our guests to ask questions throughout the journey. Whether you’re a first-time whale watcher or a seasoned traveler, our crew is always on hand to answer your questions, help you spot wildlife on the horizon, and provide depth to the journey!
Complimentary Photo Package
Our crew does so much more than just share fun facts throughout the tour. On our half-day catamaran tours, your First Mates double as onboard photographers! Equipped with high-quality DSLR cameras, they capture high-resolution shots of wildlife action.
Every Half-Day Tour guest receives a complimentary photo package after the tour, allowing you to put your phone away and stay completely present in the moment.
