Why Choose Us?
At Seattle Orca Whale Watching, we take great pride in providing you with the best orca whale watching and wildlife tours in the Pacific Northwest. San Juan Safaris’ Marine Naturalists work to create educational, fun, and engaging tours that make for memories that will last a lifetime.
We offer a variety of tours in the beautiful waters surrounding the San Juan Islands. The area is known for its incredible wild orca whales and amazing natural beauty.
As a member of the Pacific Whale Watch Association, our captains are in constant contact with all vessels on the water. Sighting data is gathered by visual sight only, eliminating the need for invasive sonar or other disruptive tracking methods. We see orca whales on over 95% of our tours during peak season.
About Our Team
All of our tours are supported by expert Captains and Marine Naturalists who will teach you about the wildlife, ecology, and geology of the Salish Sea. We encourage you to ask questions – we love to share stories about orcas and the local area! Our experienced boat captains make sure you get the best views possible and have been working in the area for many years.
San Juan Safaris is widely known for having the most experienced staff on the water and we’re proud that many of our team members have been working with us for almost a decade.
