5.0Loved doing this whale watching tour and we were successful seeing quite a few along with the sea lions and an eagle. I will say, if you're doing this in the fall, it may get quite chilly the farther out you go so make sure you have adequate warm clothing.
Trio of a lifetime.

5.0From the time we entered the boat, Wilma is amazing, so informative about everything and I must say everyone was but she and Tobin ? Not sure if his name from Bowen Island were so funny, hospitable, wonderful. The captain and some of the other people on board who worked taking photos around the world just added to the experience. Of course how exciting to actually see 3 species of whales and sea lions and an eagle. Our guests were thrilled from the U.K.
Perfect Day on the water

5.0Prince of Whales promised 1 whale sighting however we had multiple sightings. Starting with a vald eagle and a school of dolphins. Then many Orcas, followed by seals and finally a humpback whale, giving us a perfect day on the water!
