Such a great experience! Remember to bring binoculars as these came in handy a lot. At first we hadn’t seen any whales but the boat tour around the islands was neat. Saw several massive seals on rocky shores of some of the smaller islands, many bald eagles and even some rams. We learned a lot from the Naturalist on board (Lauren) and then when we were headed back we saw a pod of 6 orcas in the distance near Shaw Island. Then they disappeared for a few minutes and came right up to our boat! Couldn’t believe it!

Our tour was Captained by Brian. Our naturalist was Alexandria. Probably the most chipper person you've ever met, but she was clearly doing what she loved. I love how they were very honest with us up front, and did not make any promises of actually seeing Orcas. However, we were promised that we would see plenty of Wildlife and enjoy the tour of the San Juan Islands. And wouldn't you know it, Brian found us an Orca pod. It was a Transient pod with one male and two females. He knew the whales, he knew how to guide the boat safely alongside the whales, he was very helpful in understanding what they were doing, how they were reacting, and what to expect. As other boats arrived, he peeled off to make sure we did not threaten the whales. I love that they were honest with us up front and did not make promises, and that they kept their word. I would highly, highly, highly, highly recommend this Tour group!
If you are thinking about whale watching in Friday Harbor I can't recommend this place enough. Very knowledgeable guides and you get to see whales and tons of other wildlife, while learning some history of the islands too! Magical is the word I use to describe my experience on the Adventure Whale Watching Tour. Seriously, if you don't enjoy this then check your pulse people!
Booked a last minute tour on a day off while traveling for work. Took the adventure tour captained by Brian with Olivia as our naturalist. This duo was awesome. Took the boat through some pretty rough water to get us on some whales. Spent the whole trip tracking some killer whales, and ended with a humpback siting. These folks love what they do, and it makes it that much more enjoyable. Would definitely come back and do it again!
Cool trip. Too long for me. But my friends enjoyed it. We went on a gorgeous sunny day and we got to see the orcas. I didn't care for the blaring cold wind on the top deck or the rough waves but visiting the San Juan Island was nice and a peaceful time with friends was enjoyable.
