WHALE WATCHING

San Juan Island is perhaps most popular as a whale watching destination in the Pacific Northwest. With both resident and migratory pods of Orca whales (also known as killer whales) frolicking in the island waters, visitors come from all over to search for these magnificent creatures and to enjoy the abundance of native wildlife that call the island home. Make it a day excursion or combine it with a package that best aligns with your vacation plans.


Consider Clipper Vacations as your Seattle whale watching company. Leave from downtown Seattle on the Victoria Clipper III and head to the San Juan Islands in search of whales and other sealife. After whale watching in the San Juan Islands, enjoy a stop in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Visit shops, galleries, and the Whale Museum before returning to Seattle.


The Puget Sound is the perfect setting for whale watching, whether leaving from Seattle, San Juan Island, Victoria, or Vancouver. Plan your whale watching excursion as a day trip or make it an overnight getaway.
