  • 5Whale focused

    Orca guaranteed sighting truly paid off. Captain Jared headed straight to the current sightings. We experienced two pods- each with a baby! And followed them as long as possible. Meagan, our naturalist, was friendly, very personable and a wealth of knowledge. Her enthusiasm for the whales was contagious! Definitely recommend. This trip is all about the whales!

  • 5Whale Watching.

    Great captain and friendly, knowledgeable naturalists. We saw orcas and sea lions. Cabin was warm on a cool day. Flexible viewing spots. Parking was confusing - they had spots with their name on them in the back but they were paid spots. Park in the front for free if spots are available.

  • 5The best part of a Washington vacation!

    My daughters and I had a great time. The crew were so knowledgeable and circulated around the vessel making sure they were answering questions. We were able to see whales and were told the names and story behind each whale. The best part of our vacation to Washington!!!

  • 5Exciting

    Everything was great! From the comfy Blackfish VI boat to the captain Trevor and the naturalist Sara, Kate and Bruno who all talked very enthusiastically of the wildlife we saw. And these guys knew a lot which I appreciated very much. This tour was worth every penny!

About San Juan Islands

The San Juan Islands are an archipelago in the Salish Sea of Washington state, with orca whales, ferries, forested hills and quiet harbours.

The San Juan Islands lie in north-west Washington, between the mainland and Vancouver Island, in the Salish Sea. More than a hundred named islands and rocks make up the group, and four of them, San Juan, Orcas, Lopez and Shaw, are reached by the state ferry from Anacortes. Fir-covered hills, small farms, harbours and rocky shorelines make up the landscape.
