Getting onto the boat was a little hard for my 90 YO MIL but after that everything was wonderful. It wasn't overcrowded like a lot of tours and the staff were amazing and so knowledgable. The boat was comfortable and had lots of seating and areas to stand to watch. We stayed a little longer as 2 humpback whales breached just as we were going to leave. He stayed till after they put on a show for us. It was a great birthday present . Definitly worth the cost and do stop by the shop afterward to get a free poster.

It was a great experience! The staff was super friendly and made the experience extra fun. We had killer whales swim right up to our boat, which they said doesn't happen often.

Great boat ride to ultimately see 6 killer whales! I know there’s no guarantee you’ll find them but we did; we also got to see both seals and sea lions as well! There were 3 naturalists on board who roamed the boat and educated us about where we were going and the wildlife we got to see. Definitely worth doing!

Our whale watching trip with San Juan Safaris was exceptional. Captain Gabe and the MV Sea Lion took great care of all the passengers and our onboard naturalist, Olivia, kept us entertained and educated about all the wildlif we did (and didn't) see. We saw harbor porpoises galore, a number of bald eagles and harbor seals (rock sausages) too. The highlights of the expedition were watching a Steller Sea Lion tease some surrounding gulls with his catch du jour, and then getting to see two family groups of Orcas traversing the Haro Strait. Truly an unforgettable day!
