As a whale lover this was the best experience on our trip to Seattle. We did a day trip from Seattle so it was a bit of a long day, with 3 hr drive and 2 hr ferry boat with 1/2 hr waits to get on ferries. Be sure to confirm your times to get the ferries and make reservations if you're taking the car. San Juan Safaris Tours last about 3 hours. Boat ride was chilly so be prepared! Great time seeing a pod of 5 transient Orcas. Resident Orcas sadly weren't around. As the whales are protected, boat can only get within 200 yards so recommend bringing binoculars and a good camera for pics. We were also able to see seal lions and a few eagles. Great staff! Recommend this tour!
