The San Juan Islands are world-famous for the native and migratory pods of Orca whales that feed and play in the island waters, making regular appearances and delighting boaters all summer long! The islands are also home to a variety of other wildlife such as bald eagles, Dall's porpoises, sea otters and more.

Whale Wathing Adventure at 11:30am - 2:00pm:

Once you arrive at Friday Harbor you'll ride in style and comfort as the Clipper III whisks you out into the beautiful open waters of the San Juan Islands. As you cruise away from dry land, keep your ears and eyes open for the bustle of orca whales. On this amazing Orca whale watching adventure, you get to see up-close the San Juan Islands' sea life and majestic orca whales while enjoying an exciting ride aboard the Clipper III!

Our professional spotting service alerts us to the activities and whereabouts of the orcas so that we are able to give you the best whale watching tour we can! This whale watching tour gives you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch San Juan Islands' world-famous orca whales, also known as "killer whales," play and interact in their natural habitat. The Islands are home to three families, or pods, that migrate to the island waters for the summer months.

Be sure to keep your eyes open for the abundance of other active sea life such as Mink Whales and Gray Whales. Gray whales often travel through the islands on their way into the open sea! Being one of the largest marine mammal species on earth, you'll easily spot a gray whale as it comes up for a breath of air!

The islands are home to plenty of sea lions, Dall's porpoises, otters and jumping salmon to keep you entertained. And if you look high into the sky, you might even spot a bald eagle or two!
