We had to drive for quite a while to see whales, but they were worth the wait! We saw a gorgeous male orca and 5 minutes away were probably TEN Humpbacks! Everywhere we looked there were whales! It was INCREDIBLE! Our crew, Alex, Brooke and Matt were very knowledgeable and friendly and told us all about the whales. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Finding whales is what we're known for! It's one of the benefits of having such comfortable quick boats. So glad you got to see so many whales and enjoyed your time with our crew. We hope to see you again soon!

This was one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done. Getting to see that humpback whale calf breach the surface was just amazing. The orcas and sea lions were so cool. Captain Dave, Alex and Brooke were just awesome. So much knowledge! And, so excited about their jobs. Loved it and will definitely recommend it to everyone making a trip anywhere within driving distance. It’s so worth it!

I am a recent transplant to WA and have been out on the boats with OuterIslandX multiple times this season. Each trip was INCREDIBLE! This is a top notch operation with wonderful, dedicated crew who very evidently enjoy what they do and who go above and beyond to share this love and passion with their guests. Every team member I’ve interacted with on these trips has been knowledgeable, considerate and upbeat, and ensured that their guests felt welcome and had good experiences. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a trip (I’ve been out with multiple operators and they are my favorite)! Warm, heartfelt thank you’s to the team members I’ve been out with — Captain Drew, Captain Dave, Brooke, Alex, and others (in particular a guide I went out with in July who was from MI and AZ previously, and who was as elated to see the T65As as I was)!!! I’m already looking forward to next season! Thank you!

We're so glad you moved to WA! Great guests who love whales are our kind of people. Our crew is amazing and we appreciate you taking the time to recognize their continuous contributions, not just by finding the whales so frequently but to also educating and welcoming guests. Hope to see you soon!
