San Juan Island Day Trip with Whale and Sealife Search

NOTE: This summer, The US Navy will be using the Victoria Clipper III and other vessels to ferry personnel from Everett to Bremerton for work on the USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier. As there are no other satisfactory vessels (large, fast, outdoor adequate viewing) available to us, we will not be operating the Seattle to San Juans service or San Juans Whale and Sealife Search this year, but will resume in 2010. Other Whale Watching and San Juan transportation options are available. Call 800-888-2535 to speak to one of our reservation agents.

As an alternative to San Juan Whale Watching aboard the Clipper III, Clipper Vacations is offering other Whale Watching options: 
Victoria Whale Watching Day Trip - Seattle to Victoria, BC
Victoria Whale Watching with Overnight - Seattle to Victoria, BC
San Juan Cruises Whale Watching Day Trip - Bellingham, WA to San Juan Islands
