If you crave a more adventurous encounter, hop into a Zodiac and skim the waterline, feeling every splash as you draw closer to the ocean’s rhythm. Private bookings, meanwhile, create a space for the most intimate and personal moments with the sea.
Yet the adventure runs deeper than sightings. Prince of Whales champions a bigger mission: protecting the marine life that inspires such awe. From their Biosphere Certification to their Climate Positive initiatives, sustainability anchors every choice. Naturalist guides bring the Salish Sea to life with stories of migrations, ecosystems, and cycles that bind the coast together, reminding you that you are part of something far greater
than yourself.
This is more than a sightseeing tour—it is a chance to connect, to be transformed. You leave not just with memories of whales breaching against a backdrop of rugged coastline, but with a newfound reverence for the waters of British Columbia. Whale watching in Victoria is an invitation: come for the adventure, stay for the connection, and carry the wonder with you long after the journey ends.
