Prince of Whales Whale Watching
We are Captains. Naturalists. Skippers. We are Prince of Whales.
We never know what we are going to find and we look for all of it. We get a lot of people that come out with us multiple times and it doesn’t get any less interesting.
It’s not just about the wild life it’s about everything we have out here, it’s an entire experience and I love being part of that.
Captain
Everyday is special watching these whales in their natural environment. I love working with whales it’s a real passion of mine. I knew from an early age that I was interested in marine biology. We have guests on our boats, it’s on their bucket list to see killer whales or humpback whales. I’ve had guests come to tears from the sheer beauty of what they are seeing. It’s pretty special and it makes you feel pretty good about your job. It’s just a lot of fun to be apart of.
Naturalist
Everyone that steps on the boat is really interested in whales. As a teacher on a floating classroom, my class is completely engaged so it’s a lot of fun for me. It’s really exciting for me to make science accessible to people who don’t necessarily have a science background. Generally we look for the killer whales first, that’s our priority, that’s what people come to this coast to see. Once we found those animals, then we widen our search. We’ll hit up some areas we know seals and sea lions like to hang out. For the birders on-board we look for bald eagles and wide variety of marine birds. We never know what we are going to find and we look for all of it.
Skipper
Some people it’s their life long dream to see a killer whale or humpback whale and be able to share that with people I feel really lucky. I help by keeping track of the different whales through identification, share my information with the centre for whale research, as well as Fisheries and Oceans Canada. We have a comprehensive photo catalogs of all our southern resident killer whales that eat the salmon. As well as, our big transient whales that eat the marine mammals. Each animal that we see out there we know, so we can share that information with our guests. Sometimes we know where the whales are, may get a tip from a fisherman, may have a sighting from a ferry captain, sometimes it’s dumb luck, sometimes it’s a good educated guess.

Orcas off Vancouver Island | Whale Watching in Victoria, Canada
I had such a wonderful encounter with Orcas on a Prince of Whales tour leaving from Vancouver this past May, so I went on another trip from Victoria a week later! More success - meeting a family of four mesmerizing black and whites and observing some interesting feeding behavior. They were easy to spot – the stunning large male’s straight dorsal fin was 6 feet tall!
(Note: my zoom lens makes the whales look a lot closer than they were, over 200m away at a safe and respectful distance)

Here we are taking a ride on a very powerful whale watching 62 foot diesel powered aluminum boat owned and operated by Prince of Whales whale watching tours in Victoria BC Canada.

Prince of Whales - The Victoria Whales And Butchart Gardens Tour
This tour makes the most out of your vacation time by allowing you to enjoy two memorable experiences in a single day: whale watching and a tour of the Butchart Gardens. Both of these trips are extremely popular with visitors, but can be difficult to fit in one day. With the Victoria Whales and Garden Tour, Prince of Whales takes care of the scheduling and makes this trip a fun and exciting possibility.
The tour departs from downtown Victoria and, after whale watching in the protected waters of Haro and Juan de Fuca Strait, arrives in the secluded Tod inlet at the Butchart Gardens private dock. Shuttle buses leave from the Gardens to Victoria throughout the evening, giving you the freedom to choose whenever you want to leave and return home.
Program includes: departure from Victoria's Inner Harbour, 3.5 hours of whale watching around the Gulf and San Juan Islands, private docking and admissions to the Butchart Gardens and return coach transfers to downtown.
BUTCHART GARDENS
The Butchart Gardens is one of the world's premier floral show gardens. Jennie Butchart began to shape this magnificent landscape in 1904. She established, in the style of the grand estates of the period, several distinct gardens to evoke a range of aesthetic experiences. An abandoned limestone quarry was transformed into the dramatic Sunken Garden, a reflection of the early 20th-century beautification movement and an exceptional achievement in Canadian gardening history. Through successive generations of the Butchart family, The Gardens has retained much of its original design, and continues the Victorian tradition of seasonally changing the outstanding floral displays.
