I hope this review will help some people avoid the mistake we made of choosing this company. We came to Seattle from New Zealand looking forward to doing some whale watching. We called and booked the one available slot during our week here and then confirmed this a few days later. We then called in the morning to find out if we could go on the earlier tour and were told it was full so we had to go on the 5pm tour. We drove for over 3 hours from Seattle to Anacortes and arrived at 4:30 to be told that our tour had been cancelled. It seemed like they cancelled because not enough people had booked the tour. But they could have at least advised us of this when we called that morning so we didnt waste a whole day getting there. If you want to be guarenteed your tour will go you should use Island Adventures. They state that they will not cancel even if you are the only ones on the boat.

We went whale watching for the first time out of Anacortes with Matt and Elisa. It was unbelievable. We saw three pods of whales, one with a calf and observed Onyx, a male orca who even breached for us! Matt and Elisa were very knowledgable and answered many questions and spent time explaining behaviors of the animals. We also saw harbor seals, minke whales, bald eagles, and a bald eagle nest. That is just a sampling of our experience. Have already recommended it to a few of my friends who are heading to the NW soon. The only negative is we had a hard time finding the truck to check in. I made a call and the one who answered was very helpful. Don't look for a building with their name on it if you are going to the satellite in Anacortes.

We went whale watching from Anacortes and despite the cold and rainy weather we had a blast. The boat was clean and comfortable and there was plenty of viewing room. We got to see members of the j and k resident pods as well as a group of transient orcas. The transients appeared to have caught a seal or something while we were watching. On the way back we found harbor seals fishing and a bald eagle sitting in a tree watching them. The naturalist was very knowledgeable and helpful. The boat had charts to identify the whales and binoculars to borrow.
