Seattle · WHALE WATCHING
3 tours
Start at number one and work down: the 3 whale watching trips in Seattle worth the money, each with its fare, its running time and the kind of day it makes.
See orcas and other Pacific Northwest wildlife on a 4-hour Salish Sea cruise from Seattle’s Pier 69, with a naturalist onboard.
“We didn't see a lot of animals but that's wild animals, they go where they please. We did see a minke, whale, some porpoises, and a sea lion, plus lots of birds. The guide was very knowledgeable, the boat comfortable, and we had a very good time.”
Whale watch from downtown Seattle on the FRS Clipper, with a naturalist onboard, Salish Sea wildlife targets, and skyline views from Pier 69.
“A bit underwhelming since we didn’t see many whales. There was just one whale roaming and not enough time.”
Whale watching from Anacortes plus Deception Pass hikes from Seattle, with snacks, lunch, park fees, and naturalist guidance.
“This was an AMAZING Day!!! Our tour guide Matthew was completely incredible and we had so much fun. The provided lunch was a culinary feast (not a sandwich as expected). We got lots of history while traveling. On the Whale watching, we saw Humpback whales "courting" and then we saw Orcas playing. The Orcas put on quite the show for our tour!! And then on the way back, we saw sea lions on a small island. The homemade cookie at the end of the day was such a sweet touch!”
