VICTORIA CLIPPER III IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS

San Juan Islands TOURS FROM SEATTLE TO SAN JUAN ISLANDS & WHALE WATCHING The 100-million-year-old San Juan Islands feature some of the most spectacular scenery, wildlife and sealife in the Pacific Northwest. This archipelago of more than 400 islands includes: Lopez, San Juan, Shaw and Orcas — the fourth largest and most popular. The area is world renowned for both the resident and migrating pods of Orca whales that feed in the area. Minke whales, humpbacks, Dall’s porpoises and a myriad of other sealife and wildlife are also common to this area.

Victoria Clipper's unique service between downtown Seattle and the San Juan Islands operates during the summer season, including the educational and memorable Whale and Sealife search excursion. Onboard naturalists will inform and answer questions about the Orca whales, and are also knowledgeable about other sea, plant and wildlife seen from the three deck vessel during this trip.
