Whale Watching + Deception Pass Tour from Seattle
The ONLY Whale Watching tour with hotel pickup in Seattle! Most whale sightings in the Puget Sound happen near the San Juan Islands - make the most of your day and explore Deception Pass before your Whale-watching cruise! Journey north of Seattle to Deception Pass State Park, a Pacific Northwest hidden gem with views that rival our National Parks! Explore the old growth forest among the jagged cliffs and secret coastlines before enjoying a seasonal catered picnic lunch. After lunch, we'll drive up to Anacortes and join our partners, Outer Island Excursions, on a 3-hour Wildlife and Whale Watching boat tour. The Outer Island Excursions Captain and Naturalist will share information about the Salish Sea while we cruise around the channels in search of whales and other wildlife. Our all-inclusive small-group day trip is limited to 10 travelers. We also bring assorted snacks, water, and other cold beverages for the day. Don’t worry about a thing.

Itinerary

  1. We start our tour with pick up in Downtown Seattle! After pickups, we'll head north.
  2. Our first destination is Deception Pass State Park! Known as Washington's favorite state park, we'll spend some time here exploring trails in the old growth forest along the rocky coastline of Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands. If the tides are low, we'll spend some time beachcombing! (2h 30min) Admission included
  3. After lunch, we'll drive to Anacortes to join our partner, Outer Island Excursions, for their Wildlife and Whale watching tour! We’ll journey through the Salish Sea on a quest for Orcas, Humpbacks, Grays, & Minke Whales. We prioritize finding Orcas amongst the San Juan Islands, but we also frequently encounter seals, sea lions, porpoises, otters, eagles, and many sea birds. (3h 0min)
  4. Disembark back in Anacortes, and we'll start the journey back to Seattle.
  5. We'll end our day back in Seattle with drop off back at your hotel!
