San Juan Islands Orca Whale Watching Kayak Trips: The San Juan Islands of Washington are famous as the top orca whale watching location in the United States. The first park in the world dedicated to whale watching was created here. Our San Juan Island kayak tours are designed as orca whale watching kayak trips. Of all orca whale sightings in Washington state, over 95% occur in just one relatively small area that forms the western edge of the San Juan Islands. This is where the killer whales do nearly all of their hunting and playing. And it's the exact location where Sea Quest kayak trips take you orca whale watching!
Our sea kayaking routes are planned to maximize your chances to kayak with orcas. We don't see them every time, but about 2/3rds of our kayak trip guests enjoy killer whale sightings. Remember, these are wild orca whales and they don't perform on schedule, so we can't guarantee success on every kayak trip! Be sure to check out our blog for monthly reports on how the whales are doing and our recent whale watching success rates.
Sadly, there are companies that advertise kayaking with the orcas in the San Juan Islands that never kayak in the primary orca whale watching area. It is very unlikely that you will be killer whale watching on their kayaking trips. They may see the orca whales once a month or week, but we often see them several times a day!
Remember, Sea Quest has been leading kayak tours for over 20 years and our San Juan Island kayak trips are guided by actual biologists and environmental scientists that can tell you about the lives of these amazing animals. Our record of success is the best!
Kayak Whale Watching in the San Juan Islands: Many people ask us if it is safe to kayak with orcas. The answer is an emphatic YES! These intelligent whales have never injured a human in the wild. (Only ill-treated captive orca whales have harmed people.) Orca whales are extremely aware of their surroundings and NEVER collide with kayaks. They approach kayaks with the same respect that we offer them. The killer whales of the San Juan Islands are the most studied whales in the world; they in turn have observed humans for at least six thousand years. Stable family groups, called pods, represent several generations and include grandmothers (the pod leaders), adolescents, infants, and huge bulls. Each family member is recognized by its distinctive markings and can live as long as a human. Much of what is known about the orca whale's highly-organized social life has been learned from the resident pods you can watch from kayaks in the San Juan Islands of Washington.
The beautiful San Juan Islands of Washington state are the most popular summer kayaking tour destination in the world. Friday Harbor is easily accessed from Seattle, and the San Juan Islands lie within the Puget Sound and straddle the US-Canada border where Washington meets British Columbia. The rural archipelago encompasses several hundred islands, rocks, and reefs. Hundreds of miles of twisting shorelines are perfect for exploration on sea kayak tours. The sheltered waters of the San Juans are the perfect place for beginners to kayak with killer whales.

Road Trip to the San Juan Islands: Part 1 - Orcas Island
Orca Whales Come Charging For Dinner
Orca, the apex predator having no predators itself is what Brent and Elsa travelled from their home in Vancouver, British Columbia to Washington state for a whale watching excursion to see and experience up close and very personal. Although living quite close to the United States border, they chose Anacortes Washington as their point of departure. After an hour and a half drive enjoying a sunny July Sunday down the Chuckanut Drive Highway Brent and Elsa arrived in Anacortes. After checking in with Outer Island Excursions it soon was time to board Blackfish IV, a 44 foot aluminum, purpose built, 700 horsepower whale watching machine. Right after departing the harbor, Captain Jon was active on the marine radio scouting out where the action was… back in Canada, how coincidental. An hour or so later, everyone was on site watching some transiting humpback whales. “Enormous creatures they were” Brent said “ amazing to watch, so graceful when they begin their terminal dive”. But the main event was going on about 20 minutes away at 42 knots( 50 MPH) in the Blackfish IV. Throttles forward and away they went. Once spotting the orca, it was clear they were on the hunt. Elsa mentioned” we sat near a small light house marker buoy thing for quite a while watching the whales swim in circles”. After about 30 minutes, Captain Jon definItely could read the minds of these orca, and relocated a bit south but still in Canadian waters. Very shortly again, Jon “ the orca whisperer” as Brent named him, mentioned as watching the broken off pod seemingly chasing some prey, likely a seal,” you watch, those other whales will come charging very shortly”. Watching the video will display just how keen Jon is to these animals. The killer whale or orca is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and dolphins. They have been known to attack baleen whale calves, and even adult whales. A cosmopolitan species, they can be found in each of the world's oceans in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas, absent only from the Baltic and Black seas, and some areas of the Arctic Ocean. Killer whales are highly social; some populations are composed of matrilineal family groups (pods) which are the most stable of any animal species. Their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviours, which are often specific to a particular group and passed across generations, have been described as manifestations of animal culture. In late 2005, the Southern Resident Killer Whales, which swim in British Columbia and Washington state waters, were placed on the U.S. Endangered Species list. Enjoy this video, it is quite rare to experience this activity on such a whale watching excursion.

4K UHD Ferry Ride - Bainbridge Island WA - Seattle Day Trip - Kitsap Peninsula
Drive on to the Bainbridge Island ferry from the Colman dock terminal at the downtown Seattle waterfront. We take a ride aboard the Washington State Ferry System. This is the most popular ferry route in the western United States. Bainbridge locals refer to the ferry as 'the boat' and thousands of passengers walk/bike/drive aboard to commute to Seattle daily.
The regular ferry was out of service on the day we traveled. This smaller boat is the WSF M/V Walla Walla. It was constructed in 1973 and rebuilt in 2003. It is a Jumbo class ferry that regularly serves the Seattle to Bremerton route. It can carry 188 vehicles and 2,000 passengers.
The Seattle terminal is also in the process of being rebuilt and much construction can be seen from the ferry waiting area.
We hope you enjoy!

Bellingham Bay Washington Things To Do Along Bellingham Bay
Bellingham Bay Washington was named after a friend of Captain George Vancouver during his exploration of the Pacific Northwest. Bellingham's downtown and Bellingham Bay are a lively place during the warmer months with lots of private boats and sailboats packing the harbor.
Bellingham is also a popular departure port for the San Juan Islands with a number of yacht charter companies and whale watching excursion boats. Locals can also enjoy an inexpensive bay cruise, seafood dinner cruise and other special event cruises like the annual 4th of July cruise.
If you are looking for things to do in Bellingham consider visiting the waterfront and enjoy one of several parks.

SUMMARY
=======
Victoria is the capital city of the Canadian province of British Columbia, located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada's Pacific coast. The city has a population of 85,792, while the metropolitan area of Greater Victoria has a population of 367,770, making it the 15th most populous Canadian metropolitan area. Victoria is the 7th most densely populated city in Canada with 4,405.8 people per square kilometre, which is a greater population density than Toronto.Victoria is the southernmost major city in Western Canada, and is about 100 km (60 mi) from British Columbia's largest city of Vancouver on the mainland. The city is about 100 km (60 mi) from Seattle by airplane, ferry, or the Victoria Clipper passenger-only ferry which operates daily, year round between Seattle and Victoria, and 40 km (25 mi) from Port Angeles, Washington, by ferry Coho across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and, at the time, British North America, Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The city has retained a large number of its historic buildings, in particular its two most famous landmarks, Parliament Buildings (finished in 1897 and home of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia) and the Empress hotel (opened in 1908). The city's Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's. The region's Coast Salish First Nations peoples established communities in the area long before non-native settlement, possibly several thousand years earlier, which had large populations at the time of European exploration.
Known as The Garden City, Victoria is an attractive city and a popular tourism destination with a thriving technology sector that has risen to be its largest revenue-generating private industry. Victoria is in the top twenty of world cities for quality-of-life, according to Numbeo. The city has a large non-local student population, who come to attend the University of Victoria, Camosun College, Royal Roads University, the Victoria College of Art, the Canadian College of Performing Arts, and high school programs run by the region's three school districts. Victoria is popular with boaters with its rugged shorelines and beaches. Victoria is also popular with retirees, who come to enjoy the temperate and usually snow-free climate of the area as well as the usually relaxed pace of the city.

SUMMARY
=======
Vancouver Island is in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The island is 460 kilometres (290 mi) in length, 100 kilometres (62 mi) in width at its widest point, and 32,134 km2 (12,407 sq mi) in area. It is the largest island on the West Coast of North America.
The southern part of Vancouver Island and some of the nearby Gulf Islands are the only parts of British Columbia or Western Canada to lie south of the 49th Parallel. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.Vancouver Island had a population in 2016 of 775,347. Nearly half of that figure (367,770) live in the metropolitan area of Greater Victoria. Other notable cities and towns on Vancouver Island include Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Parksville, Courtenay, and Campbell River. Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is located on the island, but the larger city of Vancouver is not – it is on the North American mainland, across the Strait of Georgia from Nanaimo.
Vancouver Island has been the homeland to many indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The island was explored by British and Spanish expeditions in the late 18th century. It was named Quadra's and Vancouver's Island in commemoration of the friendly negotiations held in 1792 by Spanish commander of the Nootka Sound settlement, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and by British naval captain George Vancouver, during the Nootka Crisis. Bodega y Quadra's name was eventually dropped from the name. It is one of several North American locations named after George Vancouver, who explored the Pacific Northwest coast between 1791 and 1794.
Vancouver Island is the world's 43rd largest island, Canada's 11th largest island, and Canada's second most populous island after the Island of Montreal. It is the largest Pacific island anywhere east of New Zealand.
