Острів Сан-Хуан

Острів Сан-Хуан вважається найкращим місцем для спостереження за косатками, оскільки лосось, який є для них головним джерелом їжі (приблизно 95% того, що вони їдять), подорожує вгору та вниз західним узбережжям острова Сан-Хуан і віддаленими районами. Візьміть участь у цій екскурсії зі спостереженням за китами та подивіться на китів-косаток, яких спостерігали під час понад 90% турів, а ймовірність помітити малих, горбатих і сірих китів ще більше. Коли найкраще побачити китів-косаток? Будь-коли. Вони весь день на вулиці. Ви гарантовано побачите морських ссавців і повернетесь із спогадами на все життя! Насолоджуйтесь красою острова Сан-Хуан під час ексклюзивного круїзу зі спостереженням за китами з Фрайдей Харбор.

I highly recommend San Juan Safaris if you are looking for a great trip for whale watching! I had family in town from Philadelphia and wanted them to see some of the great things we have in the Pac Northwest. We took the Anacortes Ferry up to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands for a few days, and I looked for a whale watching tour. San Juan Safaris was highly recommended by our hotel and on almost every review site, so I booked them. We had 2 your children with us (1 & 3), so I was a bit nervous. After booking I received a call the next day confirming everything and asking if I had any questions. Nice touch! We showed up about 30 minutes early as requested for our 5:30 sailing. Were able to see a harbor seal in the marina as we waited which was great for the kids. They have an easy to find location close the ferry landing, and it has a nice little gift shop with a coffee bar and snacks as well as fun stuff to buy for the kids. I highly recommend taking some snacks along, and pack a jacket or blanket as the air was a bit chilly. Our tour began with a quick introduction of Alexandria and Mariana (not sure I spelled right). They were both highly qualified to describe the marine life we would see and gave us a lot of great facts as we toured. A plus..they spend a lot of time working with sea life rehab in their free time...and I found out afterward a percentage of the cost of our tour went to protecting the marine life we saw. The boat captain was friendly as well. We were on the vessel Sea Lion. He gave us some pointers about the trip, and the ship we wee on. It was big enough to give everyone space, but not too big. We almost immediately (within 30 mins) discovered a pod of Orcas. We counted 7 of them plus a big male named Onyx. This was one of the locals pods. We learned a lot on this trip about diets, local vs. transient pods, health of the Orca population here, etc. They stopped the boat for a beautiful photo of the Orcas with the mountain in the background, and with the silence you could hear them spouting very clearly. They even got playful and did a few tail slaps. We also were able to see some other marine life on the trip. Harbor seals and various types of porpoises were really close. We even saw a bald eagle perched on a rock. Overall this was a breathtaking trip. It could not have been more perfect. A few days later when I got home I had a handwritten thank you card from the crew. This is a family owned business that truly cares about the experience they provide. Choose San Juan Safaris...their team is incredibly friendly, the boat was great, and the whale watching was amazing!!

At one point in our trip, I thought about asking the boat staff if it ever got "old" seeing the beautiful orca whales; then I realized that it would be a ridiculous question. As excited and thrilled as every person on the boat was to see the whales (seals, eagles, and smaller porpoises!), our boat captain Gabe and boat naturalist Jordan were probably the most enthusiastic! They clearly love what they do, and that translated into a wonderful experience for everyone on board! I loved the speed of the Kestrel, too. Thank you San Juan Safaris!

Summary: Take seaplane if coming from Seattle Friendly/knowledgeable crew RIDE THE KESTREL. TIP THE CREW. The reservation process was easy an extremely friendly. I booked online to go aboard the SeaLion, however I added a note to contact me if a spot opened up on the Kestral (high speed RIB style vessel). They contacted me a week later to let me know that it had become available. I highly suggest dropping the money on booking the tour with a seaplane ride. I was staying in Seattle, and paid a little extra to ride a seaplane to the marina the Safaris is based out of. WORTH EVERY PENNY. I had more time to enjoy the harbor and surrounding attractions, and less time driving. The tour itself is very friendly, they outfitted passengers with exposure jackets (optional) at no cost. Even if you think it's warm take one (you can't wear what you don't have). The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly, happy to answer questions about the whales and the surrounding areas. Biggest suggestion: RIDE THE KESTREL. The kestrel is a high speed (30mph+) rib. Some may find it less comfortable at those speeds but we beat the other boats to the whales by A LOT, and that with stopping to look at sea lions and porpoise. We undoubtedly had WAY more watching time than the other boats. My only critique would be to have some sort of music at least while boat is in transit. Don't forget to look at the beautiful anemones growing around the dock, I also recommend the Whale Museum (walking distance from Marina)
