San Juan Islands Wildlife
Departing daily during summer months, our 50-foot tour vessel is the perfect platform for viewing the wildlife of the San Juan Islands. Orca Whales are the primary focus of our sightings, but the other wildlife frequenting these waters are just as thrilling. The breathtaking soaring of Bald Eagles and playful Harbor Seals are typically standard fare for the cruise. Often you'll sight Dalls Porpoise, with their black and white coloring mimicking the Orca. Minke Whales, smallest of the seven great whales � can also be found in these waters. Our knowledgeable captain and crew provide narration about the wildlife and the history of the region.
