Prince of Whales
Prince of Whales excursions leave Victoria’s Inner Harbour on a regular schedule throughout the spring, summer and fall. Passengers embark on a wildlife cruise of up to 100-kilometres in length in search of gray whales, humpback whales, killer whales, and minke whales. A variety of smaller marine mammals and sea birds are usually seen as well. Prince of Whales has two eagle crafts, a fleet of 10 rigid-hulled inflatable zodiacs, and two 74-passenger ocean magic expedition cruisers. With its large number of vessels, locations in both Victoria and Vancouver, and almost 50 staff in peak season, Prince of Whales is the largest whale watching company in British Columbia.
