San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/1

It wasn’t the best of starts today – a little cloudy and gray, but we heard reports of whales out in the San Juan Islands, so we knew it’d be a good day. Since it looked like we would cross paths with the Orcas in the afternoon, we made an earlier-than-normal 2 hour stop in… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/1

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/30

Lots of whales yet again yesterday (6/30) – we wound our way through the islands, before coming across a group of Orca whales just west of San Juan Island. If you don’t have plans for the weekend, come join us on our San Juan Adventure day cruise, or our Chuckanut Bay Cracked Crab dinner cruise.

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/28 & 6/29

We keep seeing whales – recent sightings have included members of J-pod and K-pod out west of San Juan Island. The weather was just s0-so, but there’s nothing that makes people happier than seeing lots of whales jumping and playing out in their natural habitat. Weather is looking better over the next few days –… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/28 & 6/29

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/26

It was a picture-perfect day in the San Juans yesterday, with lots of sun and glassy-smooth waters. We went out quite a ways yesterday, up towards the Canadian Gulf Island, in search of Orcas. One group of resident Orcas, J-pod, has been fairly easy to find recently, but we were also able to see part… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/26

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/25 (Whales Everywhere!)

Wow, it was a great day yesterday! We started off the day by finding J-pod during our San Juan Adventure cruise, out near the Canadian Gulf Islands. The weather was beautiful, with plenty of sun and temperatures up near 70. In the evening we were back out with two of our boats, one on a… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/25 (Whales Everywhere!)

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/23 & 6/24

Lots of Orcas out in the islands the last two days – J-pod were spotted just west of San Juan Island yesterday, then today they were in the center of the islands, just north of Sinclair. They were very active this morning, leading our captain to describe the scene as “black & white popcorn”. We… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/23 & 6/24

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/20

Lots of whales again today, including our first look at K-pod (one of the three resident pods of Orca whales), just off the west side of San Juan Island. We also saw a Minke whale on a day where the waters were flat calm and the sun was bright overhead. Sounds like the weather is… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/20

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/18

Lots of whales in the San Juan Islands today! Our passengers looked beyond the initial rain and fog this morning and were greeted by a nice day out in the islands. Not much sun, but the rain stopped and the fog lifted. We made our way out west of San Juan Island and found Orca… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/18

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/15 & 6/16

We were able to see a transient group of Orca Whales in nearly the same location two days in a row, up near Echo Bay / Sucia Island. Lots of other wildlife were seen on the cruises, and the weather has been great, especially in the afternoons after the morning clouds have burned off.
