Whale Watching in Washington

Island Adventures Whale Watching is based out of Anacortes, Washington—only 90 minutes north of Seattle and 90 minutes south of Vancouver, BC. We are located on the mainland so guests can drive directly to us. There’s no need to hassle with summertime ferry schedules, delays, inconvenient parking, or added expense. Anacortes is known as the “Home Port” to the San Juan Islands and is the perfect departure point for whale watching and wildlife cruises. Situated in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, the San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands provide calm waters (sea-sickness is very rare!), sunny skies, and an incredible backdrop for these tours.

Guaranteed Sightings!
Their industry-leading past and present whale sighting success rate is over 96%

Island Adventures is serious about finding whales. This is a challenge every day because the whales never stop moving! The orcas can cover over 100 miles in a 24 hour period so they use many different resources (cooperatively working together) to help in the search every morning. The spotting network is made up of strategically placed land-based spotters using telescopes, many other whale watch vessels, researchers, dive boats, early morning fishermen, water taxis, tug boats, ferry boats, kayakers, and airplanes.

They are so confident in our ability to find whales that they GUARANTEE IT!

At Anacortes Kayak Tours we are happy to recommend this great whale watching company to all of our guests. We have been whale watching all over the world and we can confidently say that Island Adventures offers one of the premiere whale watching experiences on the planet. As an added bonus we share a storefront with them which makes it very convenient to experience both a kayak adventure and a whale watch.
