Whale Watching Tour Preparation
Are you considering a whale watching tour as an upcoming activity at
home or on your next vacation? If you are then you have come to the right
place! There is no question that whale watching is among the few activities
on earth that can make an impact on your life. Somehow everyday life
seems very unrealistic and petty when you are faced with the surreal
wonder of an Orca or Gray Whale surfacing next to your boat.
Very few places on earth provide better scenery and opportunities to view whales than the Juan de Fuca Strait located off of the South end of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. With three resident killer whale pods often located only 30 minutes to an hour away from the capital of British Columbia, Victoria provides an unbelievably convenient location for whale watching tours.
Prince of Whales Whale Watching is the largest and safest whale watching tour company in Victoria, BC. Our fleet of Coast Guard approved inflatables are designed for your comfort and safety.
What to Expect
All of our tours are 3 hours long to provide the maximum experience for your investment. Our tours run from late April to late September or early October. When you are preparing for a tour with us you should understand that because we live on the rugged West Coast there is a very real chance of rain and or sea spray. Prepare for this by not bringing anything that you cannot quickly protect from the elements.
Our Vessels
Prince of Whales has two types of boats available
for your wildlife tour:
Rigid-Hull
Inflatable
The most common and exciting boat is the rigid-hull inflatable of which
will provide the ultimate West Coast adventure experience. Each inflatable
can accommodate up to 12 passengers and is piloted by a seasoned skipper
with marine naturalist qualifications. The skipper will guide you on
a tour of the many idyllic coast islands and show you a great sampling
of the local wildlife.
Note: If you request an inflatable with a toilet you should know that the facilities are open-air and not necessarily the most private. We recommend them only for emergencies. If you have any special requirements or medical conditions then we recommend that you consider the Cabin Cruisers.
Cabin Cruisers
The next style of craft is our specially designed Cabin Cruiser
which is deal for young families and seniors. This vessel will shelter
you
from the elements
and
has readily accessible toilets. Unlike the inflatable boats, the Cruiser
has two staff members, each with a different role. The first is a
seasoned skipper that will be focused on spotting whales and ensuring
a wildlife-filled journey. The second, is your own naturalist who will
be narrating throughout the trip and answering your questions.
