Whale Hunting
Orca in Washington
Want to see the magnificent killer whales?
If you do this is the best trip we found.
Guaranteed to see orca whales on a 70 to 90 mile cruise. It is a completely narrated scenic tour of the San Juan Islands. You will see other sea life as well. They could include Gray, Humpback, and Menki whale, seals and birds.
The 110 foot boat is very quite, so you will have no trouble listening to the narration. It is very educational and interesting, just listening to the history of the islands.
It is a full day trip from 10 am to 5pm, May through September.
The guarantee is solid, they will keep taking you out until you see killer whale.
They have spotters on land, boat and in the air to let the captain know the location of the whales and which way they are headed.
The day we went, it was late in the day by the time they were spotted. We were about to give up hope.
They were close enough to say that you saw them but they were about 150 yards away.
The whales were doing no spy hopping much to our disappointment.
There are rules pertaining to the distance a boat can get to them. A very heavy fine is levied on the Captain, so he takes no risk. After all they are a protected species.
That evening we talked to some people with another tour group that paid more than we did and did not see any killer whales. No guarantee to go again for free either.
We were very glad we chose this company with the guarantee.
