★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.)

Leave downtown Seattle for old-growth trails at Deception Pass, then board a wildlife boat in Anacortes with a naturalist guide. You may see orcas, humpbacks, seals, eagles, and sea birds. Pickup, lunch, drinks, park fees, and a small-group van ride are included.

“This was an AMAZING Day!!! Our tour guide Matthew was completely incredible and we had so much fun. The provided lunch was a culinary feast (not a sandwich as expected). We got lots of history while traveling. On the Whale watching, we saw Humpback whales "courting" and then we saw Orcas playing. The Orcas put on quite the show for our tour!! And then on the way back, we saw sea lions on a small island. The homemade cookie at the end of the day was such a sweet touch!”

He gave us lots of information as we drove to and from the tulip fields. It was so worth the money for this tour. My family and I enjoyed it very much!”
