Go Northwest!
Whale watching
in Washington State is
most popular April through September and usually focuses
on the area around the San
Juan Islands. Though whales often are
seen from shore, most enthusiasts choose to view whales from the water
aboard kayaks, charter boats or other craft.
You will find a number
of local charter boat companies and kayaking
outfitters departing from various ports within the islands. You also
will find that many also depart from various
other ports around Puget
Sound and the mainland including
Seattle,
Anacortes,
Bellingham,
Everett and
Port Townsend.
If you are staying
overnight on the Islands you may want to use the services of one of the
local outfitters or charter companies. You will find many listed on
our local whale watching charters and tours
page.
On
the other hand, if you want to go whale watching as a day trip from
elsewhere in the region, look for an operator departing from a port in the
city or town you will be visiting. You will find them listed on our
Mainland Whale Watching Charters and Tours
page.

whale watching, see our related links page.
