Day Cruises To Victoria

After glimpses of island homes nestled against lush green hills, mystical coves and spectacular scenery, we enter the Northwest's prime whale watching waters. There, 3 pods of magnificent Orca whales frolic and feed (On average, we see whales 70% of the time). Upon spotting whales or other unusual wildlife, we stop cruising so you can fully enjoy the view.

After your scenic cruise through the San Juan Islands, you'll arrive in Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, Canada. You'll have ample time for lunch, shopping, or visiting local attractions. Options include taking a double-decker bus to the world famous Butchart Gardens, afternoon tea at the regal Empress Hotel, or for a great overview of Victoria with British flair, board the double-decker bus for a Grand City Tour. You'll see the City Center, Chinatown, Antique Row and several other points of interest.

Whichever options you choose, once you've returned to downtown Victoria, you'll still have some time to explore the picturesque harbor; one of the finest natural harbors on the Pacific Coast. Upon our return cruise to Bellingham, you'll feast on our all-you-can-eat Northwest salmon and chicken dinner for the perfect ending to a perfect day.
