What an incredible experience from staff, to guide, ease, and comfort! And the perfect finale was a humpback whale in full breach caught on Camera by a passionate photographer on board. Very emotional experience. Laura was a wonderful guide. Reached out to all of us together, and independently. As did Captain Chris whilst Shawnee kept providing updates.

The guides, Val, shanna, John snd then Captain Bill - we’re knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. My husband, son and I had a great time. We saw a lot of Orcas, seals and Ollie the otter. I’m glad our trip was cancelled the day before when it was windy. Our day was memorable.

This was a great experience, with Prince of whales tours. We saw humpbacks, seals, bald eagles and an otter. The tour guide Emily was amazingly informative, the crew are very professional and make you feel safe and welcome. I highly recommend this company if you want a fabulous experience.
