Top USA Whale Watching

You are going to see a lot of whales. About 100 yards, federal law prohibits intentional close encounters with whales (not orcas). Occasionally with engines off, a pod comes close if you are lucky. It was mid July, and the Orcas were around but apparently more plentiful in June. Learned Alaska has a season for sites, if you are in the right place at the right time, bingo. The crew delivered and I can highly recommend

We had an Amazing experience!! The captain and his crew were great. The cruise was very enjoyable. We saw beautiful display of dolphins on the Sunset Dolphin Cruise. If you are looking for something relaxing and enjoyable this cruise is definitely a winner. Shout out to the crew! Susan R

The tour with San Juan Safaris was fantastic, Brian and the staff was amazing—friendly, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable. My only disappointment was with the information provided by Viator. There should be much clearer communication about the Washington State ferry system, especially for travelers coming from far away. Many customers may not realize that vehicle reservations are strongly recommended and should be booked well in advance. I believe the following information should be clearly displayed on the Viator booking page: Ferries often run late and are occasionally canceled, so please plan to arrive on a ferry that reaches the island at least two hours before your tour departure. Vehicle reservations are strongly recommended for this route and should be made in advance. Walk-on passengers do not need reservations. Including this information on the Viator page would help customers better prepare for their trip, reduce unnecessary stress, and make the overall experience even better.

Every year we take this same tour, now that should say something! This tour, along with the company who runs it, is top notch F-U-N & fabulous! The crew is knowledgeable about the marine life, friendly and caring. They make sure every member of the tour gets to see (and maybe touch) the findings dredged up from the depths! It's a marine learning class with hands on involvement! Perfect for ALL AGES! Do NOT wait, BUY your tickets early, this tour is VERY POPULAR and sells out quick! We've learned this from experience!

It was raining at the beginning of our dolphin cruise, but the captain and crew reassured us the weather was passing quickly. We began the cruise, the rain eventually stopped and we had a great time! The captain and crew were really sweet and spotted plenty of dolphins making sure to point them out clearly to us. Amazing experience!

We had the absolute best time on this dolphin cruise. Everything is organized, starts promptly, and there’s plenty of space on the boat. We sat under the shaded area but there’s also spots in the front of the boat if you want to sit in the sun. We found several pods of dolphins when we were out and we stopped for plenty of time so we could see them.

It is so fun to be out discovering marine wildlife. We saw 3 types of Whales-minke, humpback and Finback. We saw multiple pods of dolphins and they jumped and swam by our boat. We saw pelicans, sea lions and other flocks of birds. Staff were awesome and pointed out wildlife. I’d go again and highly recommend trip.

We had a perfect experience with the crew of the quicksilver. Although very late in the season we were able to see mothers and their calfs thanks to the captain. Awesome experience. We are first timers in Hawaii and our dream to see the humpback whales came true. The crew of the quicksilver was knowledgeable and fantastic. We highly recommend this provider.
