Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/24 (Orca Whales – J & K Pods)
Another beautiful, calm day in the San Juan Islands, with two of the three resident pods of Orca whales spotted in the NW corner of the archipelago. We had a great time watching J and K pods from all sides of the boat, before our 2 hour shore visit in Friday Harbor, and the leisurely cruise home.
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/22 (Orca Whales – J & L Pods)
It was nice to be back in the San Juan Islands with a group of resident Orcas today. We found J and L pods off the SW side of San Juan Island, with the clouds giving way to sunny skies and flat-calm conditions on the water.
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/16 (Orca Whale “Super Pod”)
All of the resident Orca whales were back today and we were lucky enough to see what we call a “Super Pod” – all three resident pods were seen in the same area. Boundary Pass on the NW side of the San Juans was the place to be today – blue skies, sunshine and lots… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/16 (Orca Whale “Super Pod”)

On Wednesday we had a rare sighting of 6-8 Pacific White Side dolphins – one of our crew members took some video, which we hope… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/12 & 9/13 (Pacific White Side Dolphins & Orca Whale "Super Pod")
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/11 (Minke Whales & Dall's Porpoises)

Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/10 (Orca Whales – J & L Pods)
Just heard from our captain on today’s San Juan Adventure cruise – we saw Orca whales twice before our stop in Friday Harbor. The first group (J-Pod) was found near the US/Canada border, just north of Stuart Island. After watching them for a while we turned south for our shore stop in Friday Harbor, and… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/10 (Orca Whales – J & L Pods)
