So, we were in the San Juan Islands from July 23rd to the 26th...too short a time, I'd add...and the first whale watching trip, no Orcas--not anyone's fault, the salmon are not doing their usual thing this summer, so neither are the Orcas, and I'll be giving that outfit a great review, too--but we figured we'd go one more time, and Captain Dan was able to accommodate us. He was honest about the reduced Orca sightings this year, and indeed, we didn't see Orcas again, but we did have a great time watching a bunch of Minke whales chow down. Dan and his crew were great, the boat was very nice, and there is just so much beauty in those islands, it's hard to have a bad trip no matter what you see. Both trips featured eagles and seals. Wonderful experience, great for our kids (7 and 9)! Highly recommend Captain Dan and Orcas Island Eclipse Charters!!
