Excellent experience!

Fun, adventurous tour with highly trained and professional staff including a wildlife tour guide that makes the tour amazing. Very impressed by the vessel itself for speed, stability and captains ability to maneuver it precisely.

Great Day in Seattle

We had a great experience and got to see several orcas. The boat was clean and comfortable. The rain held off until we got back.

Tips

We saw 4 orcas, our guide was able to ID them for us, give us their numbers and names, and sent photos after our trip. It was incredible! You also get to see the beautiful scenery and learn a bit about the islands. We went in September. It's windy outside the cover of the top deck so bring a wind breaker. The temp was great on land but once we got out on the water it cooled off quickly. Bring a hoodie and light gloves. Make sure you get there 45 minutes before your appointment time! They leave right at that time. If you show up on time your boat is leaving the dock.

Amazing trip - saw a pod...

Amazing trip - saw a pod of Orca as well as sea lions and seals! The crew and Zach, our naturalist, were very nice and knowledgeable! We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend the tour!

Worth the cold!

Couldn’t fault the experience! We had such a great morning out looking for whales and wildlife, and were incredibly lucky to spot a pod of orcas that apparently hadn’t been seen in three weeks. There were quite a lot of people on our cruise, but we were able to see the orcas from every angle as they practically surrounded the boat, while still keeping a respectful distance. It was VERY cold out on the water, but completely worth it and made the experience even more memorable. Such a rewarding morning and an incredible experience seeing these beautiful animals in the wild. Would definitely recommend!

They can work on more information for the passengers regarding disembarking the boat's procedures. A better plan for the arrival procedures. Once you get to the dock there is a mad rush by the passengers to get baggage and depart causing crowding at the walkways, hallways and doors. Have the crew make announcements and provide instructions to passengers, prior to arriving at the dock, inform everyone the disembarkment procedures. Assign groups of passengers to exit first followed by the next group. Disembarkment seemed disorganized and not well thoughtout.

They will grab your bags no matter how small and try to charge you to charge you for them. Our bags was legal airline Carry-on size and we had to argue to be able to carry them on. Other than that, a pleasant journey.

Whale watching-wildlife cruise

The only thing that was difficult was hearing the gal who was telling us about the sites. I think if she stood in the middle of the cabin OR there were better speakers throughout. We were in back. We could hear, but not everything. The cruise itself was great.

Very friendly crew,...

Very friendly crew, fantastic and quite new vessel, we were lucky to see a group of Orcas but it is not given that you see anything. They take pictures from the animals and share it with you for free after the trip. We enjoyed it a lot and can highly recommend it.

Very smooth ride! The attendants were kind. Beautiful views and saw a group of whales! I was worried about motion sickness but it was a very smooth ride. A little rocky sitting at the dock but def good.

Exploring San Juan Islands Washington

We came as two couples and the Condo was perfect for us with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The location was close to the ferry for island hopping. It was also walking distance from several restaurants and a small downtown shopping area. It also had a closed garage area. We would definitely use this facility again.

Een boottocht om niet te vergeten

De bootreis was goed verzorgd. Er is eten en drinken aanwezig. Er werd duidelijk informatie gegeven over veiligheidsregels als ook over wat we konden verwachten.
