My husband and I went out on the whale watch cruise from Orcas Island. It was hands down the best idea we had! This company was great, casual, witty and fun. They divided up the groups according to best ft for the boats, we ended up on a small boat, which was fantastic. The captain gave us lots of insight on the habits of our local Orca's versus the transients, showed us some Sea Lions, eagles, deer, around the san juans. Then we got to the Orca's, we spent over an hour with them, watching. It was absolutely stunning, they were near enough to see and hear, not just the splash on the horizon. I was able to capture awesome pictures, and it felt like such a personalized trip. Worth the time, worth the money. We'll be coming back again. We'll also want to use their water-taxi service, they'll take you out to the other islands that are state parks the ferries don't go. A+ for this company! Ill never go another route.
