Orca Whale Cruise in the San Juan Islands
Depart from Seattle for a scenic cruise to the San Juan Island archipelago via the Victoria Clipper. World renowned for both the resident pods of orca whales and migratory pods that feed in the area, the San Juan Islands also teem with other wildlife and sealife. Bald eagles, the playful Dall's Porpoise, blacktail deer, seals and otters are just some of creatures you might spot during your trip. Along the way you will travel through the waterways of Puget Sound on the east side of Whidbey Island, through Saratoga passage and picturesque Deception Pass.
Upon Arriving in Friday Harbor you will embark on a Whale & Sealife Search. 
On this tour you may catch sight of the resident Orca Whale pods that make this area their home. In addition, eagles, seals, playful Dall's Porpoise and sea lions are just some of the other wildlife you may encounter.
That afternoon you will have time to stroll through the streets of the Victorian seaport of Friday Harbor experiencing their quaint parks, galleries, shops and restaurants. As the sun begins to head down behind the Olympic Mountains, you will return to Seattle.
