Whale Watching

Island Mariner Cruises
We find Orcas more than anyone in the business. No one beats our success rate in finding Orcas in the Pacific Northwest. We utilize spotters on land, in boats and even aircraft to let us know the location of the whales and the direction they are heading. And because we only do full day trips, we have time to react to the latest spotting information.
