Considered one of the best day trips in the Pacific Northwest, fly to the charming seaside village of Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. Enjoy the many shops and restaurants there before boarding a whale watch or kayak tour. Then fly home in the afternoon. We partnered with San Juan Safaris to bring you this amazing adventure.

Seeing the Whales
There’s a better than 90% chance of seeing whales during peak season, but we can’t guarantee it – wildlife is wild after all. Therefore, refunds are not provided unless a trip is cancelled. Please provide 10 days notice for cancellations to avoid charges.

*5 hour tours are an additional $16 per person
