This trip packs a lot in a short time! Launching from San Juan County Park into our federally designated Whale Sanctuary on the west side of San Juan Island, we spend a few hours paddling pristine coastline and enjoying spectacular views of the Olympic Mountain range and Vancouver Island, Canada. Besides killer whales, we also keep our eyes peeled for humpback whales, minke whales, Dall’s and harbor porpoise, river otters, harbor seals, and Steller sea lions. We’re also likely to see bald eagles soaring overhead and seabirds foraging along the eddy lines.

Austin is the man. Was super knowledgeable about all the plants and animals that were out and about. We weren’t lucky enough to see any whales, but it was still a great experience. Beautiful weather and views. 10/10 would do again. – Camden S
