We had a great afternoon on Orcas Island Eclipse Charters. Terrific crew and service. After reading all of these reviews, we thought whale sightings were a given. We were disappointed to not see any on our trip. Not the fault of Eclipse, of course. Sharing this because it helps to go in with realistic expectations. Have a great attitude and enjoy the gorgeous scenery and nature, but know that finding a whale in the ocean can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Still a lot of fun -- and will definitely keep looking!!!

My friend and I had heard that this company was a great company to use to try to see whales in the San Juans. So true! The best thing about this company is their boat--it is enclosed so you can stand inside while the captain is zipping out to open water. Even in July it was COLD with the wind blowing. But even better, they have an upper-level viewing deck so you can move from side to side of the boat and not miss any action that is happening on the other side of the boat. We didn't see any orcas (they were up in Victoria the day we went) but we did see a humpback whale and it came within 10 feet of the boat. That was pretty stunning. We also saw some seals and an eagle's nest with eaglet. Great crew, great tour.

We just spent an amazing afternoon with Eclipse. Saw three different groups of transient Orcas, some sunning seals, and a porpoise or two. The crew - led by the owner - could not have been kinder or more knowledgeable. Perfect for our family with young children. Boat was big enough to not be "too bouncy" and small enough to make it feel like an intimate experience. We were free to be in or out and up or down. The shop - also run by the owner - had some unique gifts as well! We weren't sure how to choose a whale watching boat on Orcas with so many choices. So glad we made the choice we did. Even the coffee was good! Thank you!
