While our impact is bigger than the water, we’re land-dwellers too, so we’re big on giving back to our local community. Our donations, sponsorships, and participation in the community include the tourism industry, non-profits, and children’s charities; we contribute more than $100,000 annually to the local economy in the form of in-kind sponsorships.

Salish Sea Conservation Fee Disclaimer
We charge every guest on every whale watching tour a $5 Salish Sea Conservation Fee. With your contribution, you are part of the solution. We hope to donate $1 million over the next five years to non-profits focused on wild salmon enhancement and scientific research.
Why should conservation matter to me?
We think of our whales and marine wildlife as part of the Prince of Whales family. That passion creates an unforgettable experience for our guests. We would like everyone on the planet to be as focused on sustainability as us, but we know it takes a special crew of people to become advocates of our marine wildlife.
Our focus on sustainability and conservation will be what brings your adventure to life!
