Day Cruises To The San Juan Islands / Whale Watching
An area world-famous for it's pristine beauty, abundant wildlife and ample recreational opportunities is just minutes away from the ferry terminal in Bellingham, Washington. Enjoy an adventure amongst the unspoiled islands of the San Juan Archipelago. Perhaps now is the time to explore the glistening blue waters and experience the majestic beauty of the islands that make Washington State so unique.
Imagine yourself cruising along the route of the mail-boats of the past, when an islander's only connection to the outside world was their community gathering to meet the mail-boat. As you enjoy the sights and sounds of our fully narrated sightseeing cruise you're often joined by residents of some of the smaller islands getting on or off as we make "flag stops" along the way.
While visiting Friday Harbor, the largest town in the San Juans, you're offered a variety of unique shops, excellent eateries, the educational Whale Museum, brewpubs and numerious outdoor activities such as kayaking and bicycling. Spend your day on San Juan Island, or jump back aboard after an hour in Friday Harbor for our 3 1/2 hour whale watching tour. Either way, you're sure to enjoy your afternoon.
2010 Season: 4/30 - 6/7 (Fri-Mon Only) | 6/11 - 9/6 (Daily) | 9/10 - 9/26 (Fri, Sat, Sun Only)

Optional whale watching trips can be included with your Friday Harbor getaway. All of our San Juan Island stops, as well as our whale watching tour, stay within US waters so no passport or identification is required for these tours.
