Our Whale Watching Tour
Join us aboard the Island Commuter 2 for our 3 1/2 hour whale watching cruise from 1:00PM to 4:30PM from Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Narrated by our captain, the cruise from Friday Harbor travels through the scenic San Juan waterways in search of awe-inspiring Orca whales and enchanting wildlife including sea otters, seals, porpoises, Minke whales and eagles. The Island Commuter 2 is one of the finest whale watching vessels in the San Juans with two levels of indoor and outdoor seating and a snack bar.
