The area is world renowned for both the resident and migrating pods of Orca whales that feed in the area.

Unique to the Victoria Clipper is the direct service between downtown Seattle and the San Juan Islands, operating during the summer season, including the educational and memorable Whale and Sealife search excursion. Onboard naturalists will not only inform and answer questions about the Orca whales, but are also knowledgeable about other sea, plant and wildlife seen from the 3 deck vessel during this trip.
