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 – 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 – 6/25 (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 – 6/20
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 – 6/15 & 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.

Another great day out in the islands on Sunday – sun was out and we saw a group of Orca whales just south of Lopez Island.
San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/11/2011
Another great cruise today, with resident Orca whales (J-pod) viewed by our passengers SW of San Juan Island. It’s been a nice day, with clouds and fog giving way to blue skies on our return trip through the islands back to Bellingham.
San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/10/2011
The whales were back on Friday! They were too far out of our range to reach the past few days, but on Friday our passengers witnessed an active J-pod of Orca whales jumping and spy-hopping just to the northwest of San Juan Island. We were able to spend a good amount of time with them,… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 6/10/2011
