Our Catamaran

Prince of Whales operates two custom-built catamarans for whale watching tours. The Salish Sea Dream and The Salish Sea Eclipse. Both vessels are designed to be environmentally friendly, comfortable and fast.

The catamarans are designed to minimize their impact on the marine environment and wildlife. They use low-emission engines, hydrofoil technology, and advanced hull design to reduce fuel consumption and noise pollution. They also follow strict guidelines for responsible whale watching practices, such as keeping a safe distance from the whales, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction, and limiting their time with each group of whales.

Certificate of Excellence Since 2009

The Celebration of Light is arguably the highlight of the summer in Vancouver. It is a long-standing tradition that Vancouver has embraced for the last 29 year. It began as the Symphony of Fire and eventually became the Honda Celebration of Light - a three-night event over the course of a week in which three countries are selected to compete in a spectacular fireworks display! These beautiful displays of lights are always accompanied with music that is reflective of the country, and the fireworks are timed to the music. Combining these two senses has led to a magnificent viewing that has dazzled Vancouverites and visitors year after year.

Due to the popularity of the event every night with a show people flock to Vancouver's beaches, but really the best way to appreciate the fireworks is from the water. This way you can enjoy the full show drink in hand with the and the fireworks reflecting off the water and the city skyline as the back drop after enjoying a delectable meal all the while avoiding the crowds.

Magic Yacht Charters and our four impressive vessels always cruise on these special nights and our vessels offer the perfect venue for any guest list.

  • Breakfast28 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A truly amazing experience with knowledgable and friendly crew Such a friendly team of people talking to us throughout the trip, sharing information about the area and the wildlife - Wilma was especially informative and approachable for questions. We were very lucky and found orcas within half an hour and the Captain was very respectful of getting us close whilst not too close to upset the whales. We also saw a bald eagle, sea lions and harbour seals. The boat was comfy and toilets clean, the complimentary hot drinks were very welcome on a rather chilly day. Would highly recommend it.

  • Kelly L 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Epic half day whale watching!!! We came to Canada on a bucket list, as my whole life I’ve wanted to see orcas in the wild. We set out not expecting to see orcas as we were aware it was early in the season and previously only 2 out of the 5 trips were orcas spotted! We were pleasantly suprised! We saw 3 transient Biggs Orcas! Not only that but saw them hunt! Absolutely amazing experience. We were well looked after by the crew, but a special shout out to Roman who really looked after us and he must have felt like our personal photographer! :) u made our trip! The ladies were great also, and very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. They answered all questions and gave a lot of advice on the resident and transient orcas in the area! If ur gonna do a whale watching trip, do this one! Thank you to the Prince of whales for a truly amazing afternoon!! We will cherish these memories for ever :) Read more Written April 3, 2024
  • 948tassiar 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Incredible Staff & Breathtaking Views!! My mom and I had an outstanding experience today seeing 9 different orcas, tons of sea lions, and other wildlife. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the incredible crew members: Raj, Richard, Michael, Tyler, and Sandy. It is clear that the staff is not only experts in creating a welcoming atmosphere, but they are deeply passionate about research into wildlife preservation which was inspiring and really an integral aspect of these tours. But it was Michael who truly stood out with his vast knowledge and passion for marine biology. Michael providing us with insightful commentary as we took in the orcas around us. This information included the different types of ecosystems for orcas, how to identify different orcas, and more. The nature speaks for itself, but I cannot recommend this whale watching tour enough, especially for those seeking that extra level of care and appreciation for the ocean. Thank you!! We will be back :) Read more Written April 3, 2024

Very soon after leaving dock we saw Bigg’s Orcas which we followed for almost an hour. Harbour porpoises appeared as well and that did not end well for them but was magnificent to see the Orcas hunting. Many sea lions as well and lots of birds included bald eagle. Crew were outstanding and really informative. Read more Written April 3, 2024

Bowen island dinner & fireworks.

Your tour includes your dinner and one drink. Begin at Granville Island on the Vancouver waterfront, where you’ll be fitted with a light life jacket if it’s a hot day, or a survival suit that slips right over your dinner attire and will keep you warm on the water crossing to Bowen Island. Place your order before departing, so dinner will be ready upon arrival at the restaurant.

Board a 30-foot (9-meter), rigid hull zodiac boat that seats up to 12 people, and learn about Granville Island’s history as you navigate out of False Creek. Hear stories about the Burrard Street Bridge, Bard on the Beach, and the Eugenia Building as you follow the shoreline, then pick up speed when you reach open water. Hit 31mph (50kph) while passing Stanley Park, then pause at Siwash Rock to snap photos of the Vancouver landmark. Follow the shoreline towards Point Atkinson, then disembark at Bowen Island—you’ll have one hour to dine and stroll around Bowen Island’s shops.

Return to the boat for a second sightseeing cruise: see Vancouver’s seal colony from the water, then visit the Spanish Banks to see the shipping freighters up close (time permitting). Finally, you’ll find your spot among an audience of boats just in time for a jaw-dropping 25-minute firework display over English Bay, before the tour concludes back at Granville Island.

Small Groups & Fast Boats

In contrast to crowded cruises and other boat tours in Vancouver, our Zodiacs are fast, nimble and limited to 12 guests. Bottom line? A more intimate experience with everything from waterfalls to wildlife.

See What Most Are Missing

While the majority of visitors stay on the pavement and pathways, you’ll get to experience the picturesque waterfalls, glacial fjords and stunning vistas completely inaccessible by car.

Memorable Wildlife Encounters

Our small, comfortable Zodiacs give you the chance to get up close and personal with starfish, seals, sea lions, jellyfish, bald eagles, and even occasionally our local black bears and dolphins.

Award-Winning Guides

Beyond the jaw-dropping scenery, your experienced and friendly captain will share stories, local history, geological features, and answer any questions you have throughout the tour.

For Visitors & Locals Alike

Whether you’re here for the first time, hosting visitors, or looking for a family-friendly adventure, our Zodiac tours are fun, exhilarating, and offer unforgettable views of our beautiful backyard

What Our Guests Are Saying

Just when I thought VWA couldn’t impress me more~The Festival Lights tour with dinner at Bowen was one of my favourite excursions with VWA so far! I recommended this tour to my friends at work and once again, the consistency of these great tour guides continue to impress with all their knowledge of the local sites and great customer service. Thanks once again VWA!

Did the Bowen Island Dinner and Fireworks tour as well as the Granite Falls tour and they were phenomenal! Our tour guides Greg and Jules were fantastic, very knowledgeable, and sought out bald eagles, harbor seals, etc for us to see. They performed cool stunts and it was an all-around amazing experience. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

VWA delivers a first rate experience. We joined them for the Zodiac cruise/dinner tour which included the fireworks display and they served up a front row centre performance. Andrew worked hard to make it a special night from the area tour through a fantastic dinner and finally put us in premiere seats for the light show. Cudos to all the team that make a visit with VWA always a memorable event.

We did a version of the Zodiac boat tour and Bowen Island dinner with the added bonus of watching the Celebration of Lights fireworks from the middle of English Bay. Dinner was very good. Jules was an amazing captain and guide. I didn’t think they could do it but they got us from dinner to the center of all the boats in English Bay just in time for the fireworks. I’ve watched the fireworks from both sides of the bay before but this was by far the best view. As I watched Jules skillfully navigate us through the dark very crowded bay during and after the fireworks I was reminded of the saying, “As busy as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.

Frequently asked questions

Will dinner be served on the boat.

No. The boat will dock at Bowen Island, where you will walk a short distance to the restaurant for dinner.

Can I change into dinner attire at the restaurant?

You are welcome to do this if you choose, however most guests and guides wear their survival suits into the restaurant as changing takes up the time they would have for eating dinner, and the tour schedules only about 45 minutes for dining at the restaurant.

How long will the fireworks last?

The Honda Celebration of Light fireworks display lasts approximately 25 minutes.

Will I get wet?

It’s very unlikely that you will get wet, but being out on the water, there is always the chance! We have small lockers for rent at our office for personal valuables or you can bring a backpack and store it under your seat on the Zodiac.

Do you provide gear to keep us dry?

We have cozy, waterproof, full-length cruiser suits that are optional for all our guests. Not sure if you’ll need it? No worries, ask the captain to bring a suit for you “just in case”.

Are the Zodiacs comfortable?

Our Zodiacs are VERY comfy with cushioned bench seats and excellent back support. We can fit up to 12 guests and seating is typically 3 across in each row.

What if it is raining?

We run tours rain or shine, unless the conditions are dangerous. Vancouver is known for its sunny skies from June through September, and you can grab a complimentary all-weather suit any time of year.

Will it be wavy or rough on the water?

The Granite Falls Boat Tour offers the smoothest ride of all our tours. Our Zodiacs are extremely safe and stable vessels and most of the tour takes place in protected harbours and waterways.

Is there parking available?

Paid parking is available throughout Granville Island near our office. There’s lots of space but on the weekends it can fill up, so plan to arrive a little early. Want to skip the hassle? You can easily catch a 10-15 min Uber or taxi from any hotel downtown!

Here are our suggestions for paid parking on Granville Island: 

Old Bridge Indoor Parkade 

Anderson Street Parking Lot

Granville Island Parking Lot

When do I need to arrive for my Boat Tour?

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your departure.

Are bathrooms available?

There are no bathrooms on the boat! That being said, there is a bathroom available at our office you can use before and after the tour.

Do I need to wear a life jacket?

YES! We have comfortable, slim-design inflatable life jackets for all of our guests to wear.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you acquired the Trip Protection for your booking during checkout, you can cancel up to 1 hour before departure time for a full refund. Otherwise, the following policy applies: i ) 100% refund for bookings cancelled more than 7 days before your booking time. ii) 50% refund for bookings cancelled between 3 and 7 days before your booking time. iii) Bookings cancelled less than 3 days before your booking time have no refund.

What if I need to cancel for a large group?

For groups larger than 6 we require 7 days notice for a full cancellation without Trip Protection

Can I bring a camera?

We have many guests who choose to bring their cameras with them. We recommend that you keep your camera in a backpack under your seat while moving and take it out when we are stopped at various sites along the way.

How old do I have to be to sign a waiver?

You must be 19 years of age or older to sign your waiver. Anyone under 19 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian sign the waiver for them.

I’m mobility impaired, can I still go?

We don’t recommend this tour for those with neck or back injuries. If you’d like to discuss your situation further, please feel free to call us at (604) 736-5155 

Should I tip my tour guide?

If you feel your tour captain has provided a great experience, gratuities are encouraged— and welcomed—at the end of your tour. We believe that recognizing excellent service is a personal matter, though 15-20% of your ticket price is a good rule of thumb. 

Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?

Advanced purchase is strongly recommended, as tours often sell out. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance.

What if I still have questions?

We’re here to help! Simply call us at (604) 736-5155 if you have any additional questions or concerns.

White nights festival - russia's biggest celebration.

Avatar

World festivals mark global events that are a must-see for any dedicated traveler. Although lesser known than major global favorites like Carnival or Burning Man , the White Nights Festival in Russia is a collision of culture, arts and music that provides one of the richest experience around.

Every May through July, the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia, come alive with colorful celebrations and performances by some of the world's most talented artists. The White Nights Festival is an international arts festival that takes place during the season of the midnight sun, when the Northern Light shines at both dawn and dusk, allowing the millions of festival-goers that visit each year the opportunity to celebrate all day and all night long.

A Cultural Celebration of Music and Arts

The festival celebrates the arts of opera, ballet, and classical music and is kicked off with the "Stars of the White Nights" at the world famous Mariinsky Theatre. The program presents the company's most exceptional productions, with performances by leading Russian and international artists, and combines famous historical productions along with new premieres and contemporary pieces. This year's program kicks off on May 27th and has featured nationally renowned productions like Swan Lake in the past. During the festival there are daily evening performances of either ballet or opera at the theatre and classical or opera musical performances at the Mariinsky Concert Hall. The series of performances always features some of the biggest names in the arts world, including famed Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, Russian operatic soprano Anna Netrebko , and Los Angeles Opera conductor James Conlon. Ballet performances have included revivals of Russian choreographer George Balanchine's classics, as well as contemporary dance versions of The Nutcracker and Cinderella. The performances are all widely attended and visitors' best bet would be to purchase tickets online in advance.

Carnivals - Fun for the Whole Family

Carnivals also occur during the White Nights Festival and allow both children and adults to delight in traditional games and fine food. The largest carnival is held in the suburb of Peterhof, where historical figures and events are reinterpreted by costumed actors. Carnivals at the Catherine Palace and in the Pavlovsk suburb of St. Petersburg are also known for their highly artistic reproductions of the historic events that took place at those palaces. For music lovers, St. Petersburg's Palace Square becomes home to some of the international music world's biggest stars during the festival. The large square has been used for official military parades and massive demonstrations, and has also been the site of recent concerts by legendary musicians like Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones.

Fireworks and Finales

The culminating event of the festival is the Scarlet Sails celebration, which is a massive event to celebrate the end of the school year that is known for its spectacular fireworks display and a water show that features boats full of pirates battling on the Neva River. Musical acts and motorboat and rowing races are also highlights of the celebration. The tradition began in St. Petersburg after the end of WWII, when several schools in Leningrad united to celebrate the ending of a school year in connection with symbolism of the popular children's book "Scarlet Sails" by Alexander Grin. At the first celebration a boat with scarlet sails sailed along the English Embankment and the Admiralty Embankment towards the Winter Palace.

You will learn about the different epochs of the city from the foundation in 1147 till Soviet times of 20 th  century.

Moscow River

Moskva river has the form of a snake and is the main waterway of Moscow, consisting of a cascade of reservoirs. Within the city, Moskva river is 80 km long, 120 m - 200 m wide and up to 14 m deep. The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

  • Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
  • Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
  • Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
  • Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
  • Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

  • Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
  • Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
  • Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
  • Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
  • Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

  • Novospassky Monastery
  • Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
  • Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
  • Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
  • Cathedral of Christ the Savior
  • The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
  • The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
  • Novodevichy Convent
  • The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
  • St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
  • St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.
