Tim_N, Aug 2026

Fantastic day with multiple sightings!

We were very fortunate to catch this on a good day. Multiple whale sightings and both head and tail breaches were witnessed. It was our first time going on a whale watch and now the bar is set very high! The crew was great and very hospitable. The naturalist on board was incredible and was a wealth of knowledge of these humpback whales. I highly recommend Seven Seas Whale Watch and their crew!

Whale Watching Tour from Anacortes

Peggy_W, Jul 2026

Great Day Whale Watching

Outer Islands Excursions team members are knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and the ocean and happy to share info, experiences and personal camera shots! I was concerned that the boats might be past their prime, but these were clean, safe and fairly new boats. The crew did everything in their power to insure that we had lots of whale (and other wildlife) sightings! I would definitely recommend this whale watching tour!

Hoonah Whale-Watching Cruise - Near Icy Strait Point

Nicole_K, Jul 2026

Best whale watching experience with Captain Denise

It was easy finding the meetup spot for our driver, who was very knowledgable and basically gave us a narrated tour as we were driving to the dock. We had Captain Denise who was SPECTACULAR and the naturalist (I forgot her name) was super friendly and taught us a lot. The boat is covered with really comfy seats and a heater so we were comfortable with the 35 min ride to and from the whale hot spot area. Then we spent time on the front and back of the ship. We were insanely lucky and spotted a brown bear on the beach, and then about 15 whales making dives for about an hour. One pod of 3 whales came within 300 yards of the boat (hard to tell exact distance but basically closer than I thought I’d ever get to see a whale). This was NOT normal, so don’t expect to see this many whales, but Captain Denise is incredibly experienced and talented at tracking and finding the whales period. She also graciously shared some stories from her people, and got permission from other tribes to share some stories too. Highly highly recommend this experience.

MICHELLE_S, Jul 2026

A++ Dolphin & Fish FUN up close & personal!!

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!

Whale Watching from Friday Harbor

San Juan Safaris

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.

Whale Watching Tour From Monterey

Kristi_B, Jul 2026

Great way to learn about and enjoy the whales

It takes about an hour to get to the deep water where the whales feed (and then a hour back). That allows an hour watching these great humpback whales. The Captain continually positioned the vessel as the whales positions changed. While watching the whales, we learned quite a lot about them from the guide. There was plenty of room on the vessel for guests to enjoy the whales in their environment. Bring a windbreaker and headband. Recommended!

Alabama Gulf Coast Dolphin Cruise

Lindsey_F, Jun 2026

Amazing experience! Will be back

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!

Hilton Head Island Dolphin Boat Cruise

Marianne_C, Jun 2026

Excellent time!

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.

Whale Watching Tour in Gloucester

Joan_E, Jun 2026

Don’t wait! Go now so you have time to go again (and again and again!)

We had a fabulous outing with Cape Ann Whale Watch!! Highly recommend the experience. The captain, crew and naturalist are all top notch and the whales chose to provide us with amazing views—we saw command calf pairs, bubble feeding, breaching, pec slapping and tail lobbing. A day to be remembered! Extra bonus: they have free onsite parking

Two-Hour Luxury Whale Watching Tour from Oceanside

Shirley_S, May 2026

Best day ever at Oceanside Adventures Whale & Dolphin tour

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.
