Prince of Whales operates two custom-built catamarans for whale watching tours. The Salish Sea Dream and The Salish Sea Eclipse. Both vessels are designed to be environmentally friendly, comfortable and fast.
The catamarans are designed to minimize their impact on the marine environment and wildlife. They use low-emission engines, hydrofoil technology, and advanced hull design to reduce fuel consumption and noise pollution. They also follow strict guidelines for responsible whale watching practices, such as keeping a safe distance from the whales, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction, and limiting their time with each group of whales.
Certificate of Excellence Since 2009
BC’s only climate positive whale watching operator
Enjoy a 3-hour Sunset & Fireworks tour during this year’s Honda Celebration of Light – the annual musical fireworks competition in Vancouver, BC.

For wholesale, travel trade, and 3rd party bookings, the cancellation and amendment policy can differ. Please refer to your booking contract for details.
It gets cold out on the water (trust us!), so we recommend windbreaker jackets, sweaters, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. It’s also a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a tight-fitting hat, a camera to capture some memorable moments and, above all, your sense of adventure!
Tours operate rain or shine! Safety is our priority and, in extreme weather conditions or high winds, adventures may be cancelled at the discretion of our qualified crew. We will be in touch should this be the case.
The boat we use for this tour is equipped with two airline-style washrooms.
No, our boats are custom-built for whale watching with passengers in mind. Captain and crew will also do their best to minimize the impact of the sea. However, if you are prone to seasickness, we recommend you purchase non-drowsy Gravol from a pharmacy prior to your adventure with us.
Reservations are definitely recommended. Adventures often sell out and we don’t want you to be disappointed.
While there is pay-parking on Granville Island, it fills up very quickly! We recommend to allot more time to park before your check-in time, as the parking lot between 10:00 am to 6:00 pm might be already full.
