FRS Clipper offers the only Wildlife & Whale Watching Tours that leave directly from downtown Seattle at Pier 69. The Salish Sea is one of the world’s most biologically rich areas teeming with an array of spectacular wildlife. It is one of the best places to see transient orca killer whales as well as humpback, gray and minke whales breach, splash, feed and play in their natural habitat, and observe other wildlife which can include seals, sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, blue herons, and more.
FRS Clipper Wildlife & Whale Watching Tours feature an onboard naturalist who guides and educates passengers about local wildlife and whale conservation throughout the trip. Whale sightings are guaranteed or you’ll be offered a free trip for a later date! Learn more about how FRS Clipper contributes to whale and wildlife conservation and safety.
