CLIPPER VACATIONS, 2701 ALASKAN WAY, PIER 69, SEATTLE, WA 98121

© Clipper Navigation 01/15. Printed in the United States.

This 2.5-hour tour is our own, so we can offer it at an excellent value. Compare to similar tours at twice the price!

The San Juan Islands are world-renowned for both the resident pods of orca whales, as well as the migratory pods that feed in the area. The Islands are also teeming with other wildlife and sealife that call the San Juans home.

Join us aboard the triple decked 200-passenger Victoria Clipper III to enjoy outdoor viewing, or stay in and enjoy through large viewing windows. For your comfort and enjoyment, food and beverages, restrooms, binocular rental and a trained Naturalist are available on board.

The Clipper Whale & Sealife Search begins in Friday Harbor. During the whale and sealife search, your Naturalist will help you to understand the behaviors demonstrated by whales and other wildlife, as well as the natural history about diet, habitat and factors affecting the long-term survival of the animals you see. In many cases, the individual whales seen are known to our Naturalists and can be identified by distinctive markings. Whenever possible, your Naturalist will identify the specific whales as they are seen.

Keeping in close contact with other vessels, the location of any whales in the area can be determined and the Victoria Clipper III's speed allows us to reach areas with the best viewing.

After 2.5 spectacular hours, the boat docks back in Friday Harbor, so you may enjoy the rest of your time on San Juan Island.

Finish up your day in town, before returning to Seattle, or spend the night and continue your adventure the following day!

Once a mountain range, now an archipelago, the 100-million-year-old San Juan Islands feature some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northwest. Depending on the tides, the San Juans number anywhere from 428 to 743 islands. Only 172 islands have received names, including the four largest: Orcas, San Juan, Shaw and Lopez. World-renowned for both resident pods of orca whales and migratory pods that feed in the area, the San Juan Islands also teem with other wildlife and sealife. Minke whales, humpback whales, bald eagles, the playful Dall's porpoise, blacktail deer, seals and otters are just some of the creatures you might spot during your trip. Add to these wonderful tidepools full of starfish and sea anemones, wind-swept madrona trees clutching hillsides, and terrific inns and resorts, and it's easy to see why the islands are such a popular retreat for visitors to the area as well as residents of the Northwest.

Imagine combining the best of Old World and New World, the charm of Great Britain and the natural wonders of the Northwest. It is possible with our Island Adventurer or Harbors, Towns and Cities tour packages. Sail aboard the Victoria Clipper from downtown Seattle’s Pier 69 to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Along the way, you’ll see some of the Northwest’s most spectacular scenery. At Friday Harbor, you can enjoy everything from whale watching & gallery shopping, to renting bikes, to visiting the San Juan Island National Park to learn how one pig almost caused a war between the United States and Great Britain.
