We had just returned to the PNW after a long time away, and our good friends suggested we take a whale tour with Outer Island Expeditions. What a wonderful way to return to the area! The boat was large, comfortable and had a little bar with snacks and drinks (including booze) as well as countless areas, seats and decks to view the beautiful Puget Sound. The staff was knowledgeable and courteous and had a genuine love for the area and the creatures that live in it. In addition to Drew the captain (who managed to be informative and funny without making the trip feel like a constant tour guide), there were three crew members (Megan, Olivia and Shawn) who wandered around the vessel answering questions and teaching us about the area and the wildlife that inhabit it. They were so knowledgeable and passionate that by the end, we felt like we had taken a marine biology course.
The trip was at least 3 hours in length, but I could have stayed for days. I can't wait until summer so we can do this again.

I went on a whale watching adventure with Outer Islands Expeditions on the most beautiful NW Fall day on the newest boat in their fleet, the Blackfish. The boat was very comfortable with many inside and outside whale watching options. There were bathrooms and a snack bar. The captain and crew are very knowledgable about the area and the birds and animals that inhabit the land and water, plus the geology of the San Juan Archipelago. We saw two bald Eagle, Orcas, seals, and goats and deer that inhabit Spieden Island. It was a great tour experience with a great crew aboard a very comfortable touring vessel. I would absolutely recommend Outer Islands Expeditions to my family and friends and would be very happy to do another tour myself.

Our guides were super knowledgable and made it a very fun, educational, and comfortable experience. The whales are incredible to see in person- majestic and powerful! We really appreciated that this company is very conscious of their impact on the whales and are using best practices to not disturb them. They also collaborate with NOAA to contribute to research, so it feels great to support them! Highly recommend! (Just make sure you've got a car, rental car, or taxi service set up ahead of time, as the launch site is quite far from the ferry landing.)

Excellent experience. Brand new boat; experienced captain;’three knowledgeable marine biologists onboard to educate visitors and answer all questions. Saw sea lions, humpback whales, and Orchas. Lovely vistas. Worthwhile experience. A highlight of our Pacific Northwest travels.

It was a miserable rainy day in Washington, and the captain and the crew made us all forget the weather and enjoy the ride. We saw several whales and the crew was extremely friendly and accommodating. We learned and saw a lot.
thank you!

We booked a private orca watching charter for August 2024. We got lucky with weather and saw two orca pods and harbor seals. The double-hulled boat "Loki" was fast and safe.
However, captain Liberty was always the last to catch up to whales and stayed way too far from them. We are not sure whether it was because she was the only person on the boat so spotting whales was very difficult while piloting, or because she was not very experienced captain.
Even when other boats spotted orcas, our boat was at least 200 feet behind those boats, so whales were always too far. Even after we asked the captain to move closer, she did not. So we pretty much always had 3 other boats in front of us, blocking the view - completely opposite of what one would expect from a private charter!
Because of that, we do not recommend this operator if you want to book a whale watching tour. Other captains were much more pro-active (without being too aggressive on whales) and provided much better viewing experience to their passengers.

Julia, Happy to hear you saw whale and were able to enjoy the day on the water with Orca! Liberty has been a whale watching captain and working on whale watching vessel for more than 5 years. She is incredible skilled at identifying whales. Better than me in fact and I have been doing this for 20 years. She has logged 100's of days on the water. Whales can be unpredictable, and you are not allowed to be closer than 200 yards from killer whales in both the US and Canada. This rule applies to all vessels. It is without doubt possible to enjoy orca from this distance. We take this rule seriously as do all other responsible operators. Whales to get closer to boats at times. When this happens, it is the whale's decision. Rather than worrying about being the closest enjoy the experience, in the end 100 ft of 600 ft is not very different. To blame us for what the whales decide to do is rather silly and show a basic misunderstanding of the events that unfolded in front of you. Other vessels often look closer to whales than you when in fact they are not. Distances and perspectives on the water can be deceiving. The Loki is a great vessel for up to 6 people. It is however our smallest and least expensive vessel. We hope you enjoy your memories of your time with Orca!

Hi there,
Would you recommend taking the whale watching expedition via Orcas Island or Anacortes? We live in Washington and it is much quicker to get to Anacortes than a Orcas Island.
What are the pros and cons of taking the tour from Anacortes?
Can we still see orcas in late August?
Thank you,
Kate

Go from Orcas Island for sure, if you don't mind the ferry ride to Orcas and maybe spend the night on the island. It's a pretty island with a cute downtown area. From Orcas you're essentially at the whale habitat and will be seeing the whales within about an hour. When you leave from Anacortes it would add about 90 min (one way) just to get out there.
Đã viết vào 24 tháng 6, 2019
Would you recommend the morning (11am) or afternoon tour (330pm) for late July? We are flexible so either one would work but the whole reason we are making the trip is to see the orcas so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Pros and Cons? Help us decide which one to book :-)

We took 11 AM tour. Was great, wind not up yet. Usually blows in afternoon.

How cold is it this week? Do we need coats for both the kayak and whale watching tours?
Đã viết vào 5 tháng 8, 2018
I wouldn't, but since you are from Florida you might want to layer with thin windbreaker and/or long sleeve shirt that can be removed as you warm up especially if you are starting early in morning.

Will I need to have a car to get from the ferry to Outer Island Expeditions? I was hoping to not have to take my car on the ferry but I can't tell how I could get from the ferry to your launching point
Đã viết vào 31 tháng 5, 2017
There are no buses but if you are just going for the day there is a cab service. It is not walkable from the ferry.

Does the ferry to Sucia run on weekends in November?
Đã viết vào 27 tháng 9, 2016
Hello,
We offer the Sucia Ferry from Orcas Island to Sucia Island from April through October, but if we do not have a regular ferry scheduled on the date you want to go we can always run a private water taxi for you. Please call our office for more information. Thank you!

Hi my name is Nancy and I've been on the whale watching tour back in August, but we didn't see any whales. It was a beautiful day but I'm just wondering does this happen very often? If you went out and didn't see any whales either I'd like to hear from you. Thank you.

At times we were seeing two different pods (one at a distance) on either side of the boat. We saw over 25 whales (orcas) on our trip. First saw the ladies, then the males. (I guess the travel separately?) And saw two different pods. I imagine it depends on when you go but we saw literally dozens. I was told that all the boats communicate with each other on where the whales are, so it must have been the time.

Has anyone done this tour with a 2 year old? I'm sure it's not ideal but I would hate for the rest of the family to miss out on the experience.

It would be pretty challenging with a little one of that age. If your kiddo has an iPad or something of that nature to keep him/her busy, you might be able to pull it off. Once the boat gets to the whale watching spot you'll idle there or drift with the current the entire time. The guides ask that people stay seated or braced up against a seat. Everyone on our boat was pretty quiet once the spectacle began and the only thing you could hear were cameras clicking and the whales coming up for air. A tired or bored little one may not be good company for folks experiencing their first whale watching trip. My two cents. Happy travels!

We are interested in the whale-watching from Anacortes. How are the waters in Mid-August? One person in our group is prone to sea sickness and worries about the small size of the boat (max of 13). Do passengers often get seasick on the tours?
Thank you!
Đã viết vào 22 tháng 7, 2015
I highly recommend bringing sea sickness medication because I was watching two pods of orcas off San Juan Island and got really sea sick!
It was so windy causing the waves to crash. I thought raw ginger would help but it didn't! I thought that I would be too drowsy and miss everything. Even though I saw orcas (breach 3 times consecutively, males, females, and a baby); I regret not having medication.
