San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/12 & 7/13

It’s great when all three resident pods of Orca whales are centered in the San Juan Islands, as they’ve been for the past 3 weeks or so. Over the last two days we’ve seen members of all three pods, a group (J Pod) just south of Lopez Island off Davidson Rocks, and K & L… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/12 & 7/13

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/10

We heard reports all morning with the locations of all three resident pods of Orca whales (J, K and L pods). Unfortunately, they weren’t all in the same place, so we had to pick which group to see. We decided to look for K pod, which was out on the west side of San Juan… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/10

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/9 Whales On Our Crab Cruise!

Lots of whales yet again out in the San Juans on our 8 hour San Juan Adventure cruise – we found all three resident pods (J, K and L) in the waters just north of Stuart Island. They weren’t together, so we can’t technically call this one a “Superpod”, but they were especially active. Then,… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/9 Whales On Our Crab Cruise!

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/7 – SUPERPOD!

Yesterday we had our first Superpod sighting, which is when we see members of all three resident pods of Orca whales (J, K and L pods) in the same spot. It was an exciting to watch they swim and frolic, an experience that normally only happens a few times each season. If you’re on the… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/7 – SUPERPOD!

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/6

Summer’s finally here – lots of sunshine out in the San Juan Islands, and lots of Orca whales! We saw members of K and L pods on Wednesday, just south of Lopez Island. Preliminary reports from the boat today (Thursday 7/7) say that there’s a chance we may see a “Super Pod” today – members… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/6

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/3

The weatherman forecast rain on Sunday, and I guess he was right because it did rain overnight. However, for our day cruise in the San Juan Islands, it was beautiful from start to finish. It was topped off with watching the entire J-Pod orca whale group, just west of San Juan Island. It’s been a… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/3

San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 7/2

Our cruise today left just an hour ago, and we are already watching a group of Orca whales (J-pod) just west of Lummi Island. It’s a beautiful day out in the islands – clear skies and lots of sun!

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.
