MEDIA POLICY

Thank you for joining us on a tour!

We’re thrilled to have you here.

Our media policy is designed to ensure that all content captured during Prince of Whales experiences is taken and used respectfully, consistently, and in alignment with our guidelines:

• We kindly ask all media guests to be mindful and respectful of both fellow guests and our crew throughout the experience. This helps ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for everyone on board.
• Please drop off your media badge/s at our office after your tour. Also, feel free to leave your badge on the boat or give it to one of your crew members.
• We kindly request media badges to be worn during the tour, so that our crew on the day may identify you, assist you with any questions and ensure you have a pleasant experience!
• Please ask before recording staff or guests.
• Use terms like “watching,” “encountering,” or “enjoying” whales – avoid language such as “putting on a show.”
• All operators follow the same distance and conduct guidelines; no boats get closer than others.
• Whale watching operators in BC do not view Southern Resident Killer Whales, in accordance with the Sustainable Whale Watching Agreement with the Canadian Government, the killer whales you might be watching during your tour are Biggs Killer Whales.
