Whale Watching From The Victoria Clipper
The Victoria Clipper's San Juan Island Excursions have been deemed a success with over 98% of all passengers in July and August enjoying Orca Whale Watching. "With ample salmon available, the whales have been active and giving our passengers a good show every day", said Captain Jason Mihok. The trips will continue to operate daily through 6 September, then Saturday and Sunday through end of month. The popular, all-day Clipper whale watching tour starts in Seattle and takes you through scenic Deception Pass en route to San Juan Island. From there, the 2 ½ hour Whale & Sealife Search begins. Whale sightings have occurred on nearly all trips this season, and all three pods are still in the area. A knowledgeable naturalist is onboard to answer questions and educate passengers about the sealife in the area. All passengers also receive a complimentary Guidebook to the San Juans. After the Whale & Sealife Search, there is approximately 2.5 hours of free time to explore Friday Harbor. With reservations at least one day prior, the adult fare is $70, with $55 fares available online at www.clippervacations.com. Children under 12 are FREE with a paying adult when booked at least one day prior. Clipper Vacations also offers several overnight packages in the San Juan Islands that include the Whale & Sealife Search. All prices are in US dollars and include tax.
