Adventure awaits you in the beautiful and sunny San Juan Islands, just north of Seattle.  A visit to Seattle Washington wouldn't be complete without including an extraordinary orca whale watching trip.

Join Western Prince Whale Watching & Wildlife Tours on an intimate sized tour (limited to 32 passengers on the 46' Western Prince II and 15 passengers on the 27' Western Explorer) as we explore the protected waters of the Salish Sea and discover the islands' abundant wildlife and spectacular beauty.

We are the longest operating whale/wildlife tour company in the islands. We aren't the biggest, nor do we strive to be. As an owner operated company, we take pride in providing a quality tour with a personal touch. However, we have been known to extend a trip when something comes up that we just can't resist. Each tour is unique and each day is a new adventure. You never know what will turn up along the way. Our tours generally run 3-4 hours on the Western Prince II and 2.5-3 hours on the Western Explorer.

It is a truly amazing experience to view these wonderful animals in their natural environment. We hope you not only find our tours fun and exciting , but also enriching and enlightening . We always operate with the utmost respect for the wildlife we view and the environment we operate in and always follow current guidelines and regulations. We believe that the best way to ensure the long term survival of the wonderful whales and wildlife we encounter is through endearment and education.

	A fun day on the water
		Experience for yourself the sound of an eagle's call from high atop a majestic cedar tree. Watch in amazement as Dall's porpoise seem to effortlessly ride the bow waves of the Western Prince, and lazy harbor seals sunning themselves along the rocky shoreline barely notice us. Don't miss this opportunity to experience something truly unique.

	The most popular and economical way to travel to the San Juan Islands is by Washington State Ferry. From Seattle, drive North on Interstate-5 to Highway 20 (Exit 230). Take Hwy. 20 West through Anacortes and out to the Washington State Ferry landing 4 miles West of Anacortes. We suggest that you park your car and walk on the ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Ferries run every 2 to 3 hours so be aware of the schedule before you leave Seattle. The ferry ride over here is beautiful and you will see many islands on the way.
