We loved our trip with Outer Island Expeditions. The boat was comfortable. The crew and captain (I think Drew?--Wisconsin native) were very knowledgeable as well as entertaining and fun. We had an infant 9 mo old with us and with baby in carrier we had a great time. Saw several types of sealife, also enjoyed the trip to the passage way I can't remember under the bridge. We were able to see Orca whales and sea lions! Would definitely come again if we ever find ourselves back in the San Juan Islands!

Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for sharing your experience on tour with us. It's great to hear you connected so well with the crew. So glad you were able to share this experience with the little one also! The passage you're speaking of is Deception Pass, it's one of our favorite spots to cruise through also, so stunning! We hope to have you and your family out with us again!
