Ocean Magic Cruiser Tours

Prince of Whales, 101-812 Wharf St.

Comfortable and thrilling, the world-famous Ocean Magic Cruiser is fast, quiet and especially whale-friendly. Equipped with all facitilities, this is whale watching in comfort!

As fast as a Zodiac, the world-famous Ocean Magic Cruiser provides the premiere whale watching experience in Victoria. Move freely between the open air outdoor decks and interior heated cabins while enjoying beverage service and the comfort of on-board washrooms. The vessels are equipped with hydrophones to hear the whale vocalization and one of our on-board naturalists will give you constant commentary on the wildlife you see.

The Victoria Whales and Gardens Tour

Prince of Whales, 101-812 Wharf St.

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 around lower Vancouver Island, 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.
