Anacortes
4-5 hour tours departing February 17th through December, 2018
This is the tour that started them all! We've been operating whale watch adventures from Anacortes since 1996. Our flagship tour got a major upgrade in 2017 with the addition of the Island Explorer 5. This brand new, state of the art catamaran is the fastest in the fleet and offers three viewing decks for an unparalleled view. Anacortes is one of the best places in the world to see wild orcas.
Port Angeles
4-5 hour tours departing May 12th through October 20th, 2018
Port Angeles is located just outside Olympic National Park on a super-highway for whales known as the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Island Explorer 3 is new to Port Angeles, but not to Island Adventures. She's regarded as one of the most comfortable vessels on the West Coast, and is perfect for whale watching in the wild west!
La Conner
7-8 hour tours departing April 6th through September 30th, 2018
The waterfront community of La Conner is the perfect departure location for our first ever extended whale and wildlife tour. Enjoy a full day on the water for the true San Juan Islands experience. There's ultimate flexibility in finding wildlife as we don't have a rigid schedule. This laid back, unplugged trip aboard the Island Explorer 4 is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts looking to spend a little extra time on the water.
La Conner
2.5 hour Deception Pass Cruise – April 7th through September 30th, 2018
There’s nothing quite like an evening spent on the water – especially from the quaint waterfront community of La Conner. These 2.5 hour tours head under Deception Pass in search of wildlife and some incredible scenery. While this isn’t a whale watching tour, we are always on the lookout! Kick back, relax, and enjoy a tour on the most comfortable boat in La Conner.
Everett
3 hour tours departing March 3rd through May 6th, 2018
Join us in the springtime for a whale watch tour like no other! With its close proximity to downtown Seattle, Everett's three hour tours are the perfect getaway from the city. This tour focuses on the migrating gray whales which are only in the area for a limited time. Often times, whales are spotted less than a half hour away from the dock (and sometimes closer)! Don't miss the best whale watching deal in Washington state.
