Super Guide, a lot of animals seen.
Amazing crew (Connor, Seb, Briar and Adam), took us out this afternoon; great boat with top and lower deck, great views and really successful mission, respectfully seeing lots of Orca and Humpbacks. Briar was knowledgeable, shared the stories of the beautiful creatures and environment. Would recommend in a heartbeat - thank you so much for the amazing memories.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had such a successful afternoon and appreciated the respectful way the orcas and humpbacks were viewed. It’s great to hear that Briar’s knowledge and stories about the animals and their environment stood out. Thank you for joining us and for recommending the tour so highly!
We took Prince of Whales’ large-boat tour rather than the Zodiac and overall had a very enjoyable three hours. It’s a little expensive for a tour on a large boat, but we saw an impressive variety of wildlife: orcas, humpback whales, bald eagles, sea otters, Dall’s porpoises, seals, and sea lions. It’s worth setting expectations about the whale watching. The boats stay a considerable distance from the whales, which is obviously better for the animals. That being said, if you’ve done a winter whale-watching trip in Baja Mexico, where the encounters can be remarkably close, you may find this experience a little disappointing by comparison. Our main interest was seeing orcas, and we did see several. They’re just more difficult to watch because they don’t spend nearly as much time above the surface as humpbacks. Even aside from the wildlife, this was a peaceful, very calm three-hour boat ride with fantastic views of the Inside Passage, so we enjoyed simply being out on the water. The crew was excellent. Captain Jake did an outstanding job finding wildlife while keeping the ride remarkably smooth. Adam, one of the naturalists, was approachable, funny, and had a lot of information to share. Kennedy was stationed on the upper level, so we didn’t interact with her much, but she took a couple dozen very good photos during the trip that were made available to us to download for free—a really nice touch. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and an easy four stars for us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review, Gary! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable day on the water and were able to experience such an incredible variety of wildlife, including orcas, humpback whales, sea otters, Dall’s porpoises, seals, and bald eagles. We really appreciate your understanding of the importance of maintaining a respectful distance from the whales. Our crews follow local wildlife-viewing guidelines to help protect these incredible animals, and we’re glad you appreciated the care taken throughout your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that Captain Jake kept the ride smooth while finding so much wildlife, and that Adam’s knowledge and personality added to your experience. We’ll also be sure to pass along your kind words to Kennedy, we’re so glad you enjoyed the complimentary photos! Thank you again for joining us and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you aboard again for another peaceful day on the water!
We had a lovely afternoon trip - the naturalists and crew were knowledgeable and friendly (Adam, Kennedy and Jake). We saw loads of humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, porpoises and more. The boat wasn’t too crowded; and there was a lower deck that was sheltered, which was important for our group. All in all a lovely day.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a lovely afternoon with Adam, Kennedy, and Jake. It sounds like you had an incredible variety of wildlife sightings! We’re also glad the boat and sheltered lower deck worked well for your group. We hope to see you again soon!
Quite the whale watching experience! Kennedy, Jake and Connor made it really memorable: all the way from the safety briefing, through the numerous sightings of Orcas, a humpback breaching and sea-lions rock-lolling. Thanks PoW Crew!
Thank you for the wonderful review, Darryl! We’re so glad the team made your tour memorable from the safety briefing through to the numerous orca sightings, breaching humpback, and sea lions lounging on the rocks! We hope to welcome you aboard again soon for another adventure.
Unfortunately our half day tour was cancelled the night before and we didn’t didn’t see the email until we arrived that morning. We were told it was due to mechanical issues with the cruiser. There were no alternatives available that day and we had travelled quite far to get there with plans to travel somewhere else afterwards. It was quite frustrating as we could not complete what we had planned and had pretty much wasted a day of our holiday with it being too short notice to book anything else. We are still awaiting a refund.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry that the cancellation disrupted your plans, particularly after you had travelled such a long way and no alternative departure was available. Mechanical issues can occur unexpectedly, and safety must always determine whether a vessel can operate. However, we understand that a refund cannot compensate for the lost day or disappointment. If you are still waiting to receive your refund, please contact us directly at sales@princeofwhales.com or +1 888-383-4884 with your booking reference so we can confirm its status.
The tour got cancelled due to a broken boat. This can happen, but the way of communication was terrible. First we had to wait an hour and half, after 0 help. No toilets, water or anything on site. Also all other boats were booked, also the day after so no alternative offered. As telegraph cove is 2 1/2 hour drive of Campbell river, and literally nothing else to do in the nearby area, I do not recommend driving all the way up for a company who does not have the stuff together. (2nd boat broke down 4 days ago, so not really reliable) Also 0 compensation was offered
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry that your tour was cancelled after such a long drive and that you experienced a lengthy wait without clear updates, practical assistance, or access to amenities. We also understand your frustration that no alternative departure was available that day or the following day. Mechanical issues can occur unexpectedly, and safety must always be a top priority when determining whether a vessel can operate. However, communication during a disruption should be timely, clear, and proactive, and we regret that your experience fell short. Thank you again for your candid feedback. We take these concerns seriously and will use your comments to improve how cancellations and guest support are handled in the future.
Awesome evening on the water 5-8pm. Adam our very knowledgeable guide was fab and friendly. Wrap up warm as it’s cold. Happy with the wildlife we saw.
Thank you, Nikola! We’re so glad you enjoyed a lovely evening of wildlife viewing and found Adam knowledgeable and friendly. Extra warm layers are certainly helpful on evening tours, so thank you for sharing that useful tip!
The drive to telegraph cove was so worth it because this trip was amazing. We saw numerous humpbacks, a sea otter, dolphins and a pod of 4 orca whales. Val was so knowledgeable and was just the best guide. The emailed pics the next day was a welcome surprise. Thank you all the crew!
Thank you for making the trip to Telegraph Cove! We’re so glad the drive proved worthwhile and that you enjoyed such a wonderful variety of wildlife. It’s wonderful to hear how much Val’s knowledge added to the tour and that the complimentary photographs were a welcome surprise. Thank you for joining us and we hope you can come back for another adventure!
Great Boat and crew. We saw at several types of marine life, including a bald eagle, dolphins, Resident killer whales, a Dahl porpoise, stellar sea lions, humpback whales, Transient killer whales, and salmon jumping. The crew took photos, which they provided via email after the trip. Very fun time - highly recommend.
Thank you, David! Wow- What an impressive variety of wildlife for one trip! We’re so glad you enjoyed the boat, crew, and complimentary photographs. Thank you for your recommendation and for joining us. We hope you can come back soon for another adventure!
