Whale Watching Tours in the San Juan Islands
Our whale sighting guarantee:
We see whales on over 90 percent of
our whale watch tours. If you don't see whales on your whale
watching/wildlife trip with us, then
your next trip with us is free of charge.
Experience the
thrill of seeing orca whales, California and Steller sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagles,
Dalls and harbor porpoise,
gray whales (during the spring), bald eagles, pigeon guillemots, sea
gulls, black oyster catchers and great blue heron in their natural habitat.
During the warmer months, May through September, three pods
(families) of orcas make the waters surrounding the San Juan Islands
their home. The Southern Resident Community (J, K & L Pods) have
been coming to the San Juan Islands for thousands of years because of
the nutrient rich seas which draw salmon, making it a perfect feeding
and breeding ground for the orcas. There are currently roughly 80
orcas and each spring brings new calves to the pods.
Join our 3.5 to 4 hour whale watch / wildlife cruise for a fun, scenic and informative journey through the sunny San Juan Islands of Washington State. Cruise throughout these Pacific Northwest islands in comfort aboard the Odyssey. Once we near the area of the whales, we will drop our hydrophone into the water so that you can listen to the orcas communicating to one another. This special moment is one that you will remember for a lifetime!
