Whale watching in Washington is popular April through September and usually focuses
on the area in the northwest part of the state around the San
Juan Islands.
A number of charter boat companies run whale
watching cruises and you can find such charters at various ports around Puget
Sound. We have listed below a number of well-know charter
operations according to their home ports. The ports are listed alphabetically.
In most cases it is a good idea to call ahead and make reservations in
advance of the date you might want to join a whale watching cruise.
Each of the ports listed below also offer a variety of accommodations
from bed and breakfast lodging to hotels and motels should you wish to
make an overnight trip and enjoy your whale watching outing at a more
leisurely pace. To learn more about each port, just click on the
name and a link will take you to the respective town in a new browser
window.
