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”)
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/14 (Minke Whales & Steller Sea Lions)
We headed out to Salmon Bank on the SW side of San Juan Island and found a group of 4-6 Minke whales who were feeding. Had a chance to watch them for a while before heading in for our stop in Friday Harbor, pausing a bit to take a look at some Steller Sea Lions.… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/14 (Minke Whales & Steller Sea Lions)
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/12 & 9/13 (Pacific White Side Dolphins & Orca Whale "Super Pod")
Two spectacular days in the San Juans! As if the sun and beautiful scenery in the 172 island archipelago weren’t enough, we found lots of wildlife the last two days. 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)
A stunning day in the San Juans today – sun, blue skies and lots of wildlife. We have seen Minke whales and Dall’s porpoises on today’s cruise, and the day isn’t finished yet!
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)
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/6 (Orca Whales – L Pod)
A glorious day in the San Juans yesterday – sun, blue skies and warm temperatures. Absolutely amazing! To top it off we found Orca whales – the L-12 group, in the False Bay area on the west side of San Juan Island. The weather’s supposed to be the same today and tomorrow – hope you’ll… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/6 (Orca Whales – L Pod)

We were able to find two pods of Orca whales, J & K pods, close to each other just off False Bay on San Juan Island.
