They were spotted up in the NW corner of the San Juan Archipelago. With sun and temperatures just… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 8/19 & 8/20

Once again we found J & K pods, up near Turn Point in the NW corner of the San Juan Archipelago. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with this group. Looking forward to a great weekend of sun, and whales!

The best day of the season so far! We ended up going south of the islands for our whale watch/nature search. Not only did we get a chance to watch a transient group of Orca whales spy hop, tail slap and breach all around the boat, we also witnessed a harbor seal scurry and hide… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 8/14

Another great day with the whales yesterday! The bulk of the adult whales we saw just went about their business, although it’s always exciting to see dorsal fins rise out of the water all around the boat. However, there was a baby in the group that had energy to spare, jumping out of the water… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 8/10

Just got a report from our captain saying they found 2 Humpback whales today out west of San Juan Island – we don’t see them too much this time of year, so it was a rare treat for our passengers. We will have photos soon – we’ll post them here, as well as our Facebook… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 8/8 (Humpbacks!)

Lots and lots of whales in the San Juan Islands over the weekend. We had sightings of J-pod each day, and also saw K-pod 2 of the 3 days, mostly out on the west side of San Juan Island.
