Make a splash with some 35 ton visitorsOnce again, Clipper Vacations brings to you Gray Whale Watching from downtown Seattle with a stop at historic Coupeville on Whidbey Island. New this year! Two dates are available for late afternoon departures!Gray Whales are magnificent marine mammals reaching up to 50 feet in length and 35 tons. Every year they migrate north from Baja Mexico to Alaska with their calves in tow. Gray Whales are known as coastal cruisers who stay close to the shore feeding in shallow water. These baleen whales (whales lacking teeth), feed on small crustaceans found in the mud. You will have an opportunity to spot these creatures as they move north on their long journey, stopping to feed along the way — just look for a tall blow near the shore. Knowledgeable on board naturalists give you the best chance for a peek at these special creatures as well as the many other marine life and birds living in the Puget Sound area.

Also includes a visit to Coupeville on scenic Whidbey IslandUnique to Clipper, your day includes a stop in quaint and historic Coupeville on Washington’s Whidbey Island. You will have two hours to visit the seaport town. Stop into one of its many excellent restaurants for a bite or swing by its locally famous ice cream parlor for a sweet treat. Other features of Coupeville not to be missed are a saloon and the historic red wharf building containing the skeletons of a gray whale, a porpoise and a sea lion and beach combing during low tide.
