As the year draws to a close, all of us at Prince of Whales would like to pause, reflect, and send our warmest holiday wishes to you and your loved ones! The holiday season is a time for connection, gratitude, and wonder, and few places inspire those feelings quite like the Salish Sea we’re so lucky to call home.
This year has reminded us how powerful nature can be in bringing people together. From the first splash of spring to the golden glow of late summer sunsets, we’ve shared countless unforgettable moments on the water. Watching whales surface beside the boat, hearing the collective gasp of awe from our guests, and seeing families experience wildlife together for the first time never gets old. These moments are the heart of what we do, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who joined us on an adventure this year.
The holidays also invite us to slow down and appreciate the world around us. It’s a season that reminds us why conservation and respect for the natural world matter so much. Every whale, seabird, and stretch of shoreline plays a role in a delicate balance, and protecting that balance is a responsibility we proudly share with our community and guests.
We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible crew. Their knowledge, passion, and dedication ensure every trip is educational and inspiring. Whether guiding guests through their first wildlife encounter or sharing stories passed down through years on the water, our team embodies the spirit of Prince of Whales every single day.
To our guests and supporters, thank you for choosing to explore responsibly and for supporting sustainable wildlife tourism. Your curiosity and respect for the ocean help make a real difference. Each visit with us contributes to education, conservation efforts, and a growing appreciation for marine life that we hope will last forever.
As you celebrate the holidays, however you choose to do so, we hope you find time to reconnect with nature, reflect on the year behind us, and look forward with optimism to the year ahead. May your days be filled with moments of wonder, whether that’s by the ocean, around a table with loved ones, or dreaming of your next adventure with us. From all of us at Prince of Whales, we wish you happy holidays and a bright New Year. We look forward to welcoming you back on the water soon!
