Phenomenal experience having to Victoria for the first time last weekend. Service was on time, very smooth and the staff were all awesome. I booked the comfort vip and enjoyed the free snacks and definitely the views. Will be a friend customer this summer!

The whale watching trip to San Juan island was just perfect. Scenic views on the way there, especially Camano Island, Deception pass and bridge. And of course, we sow orcas.

Honestly was a little nervous about this trip as I had never been on a boat this long before. They do offer complimentary anti nausea meds (which I took just in case) and all went well. I definitely recommend the upper cabin though as was much less motion compared to being below on the main floor. This was an all day trip, with a 2 hour time slot to explore Friday Harbor in the afternoon. Obviously we are at the mercy of Mother Nature as far as actually getting to see whales and we were lucky enough to get to watch them for quite awhile and very close as a pod of orcas were circling a seal who was stuck on a kelp bed. Breathtaking to watch them swimming around and a once in a lifetime experience in my opinion. There were plenty of snack and food options, drinks, for the duration (for purchase) and the naturalist did a great job with her descriptions and narrative. Enjoyed the time at FH (would have loved to explore more there and would consider returning for a full day trip or even an overnight) and the views as we passed famous sights such as Deception Pass bridge and Whidbey Island. It was a LONG day though and if I had it to do over I might do the trip in 2 stages instead of one long day (if you are taking kids along this might be the better option too). Overall very happy with the trip and was worth it to me!

Our day trip left Seattle at 9, arrived Victoria a bit before noon. We visited a sick friend and departed Victoria at 5 arriving Seattle near 8. Would not recommend that intensity but that was what we needed to do. The Clipper did what they do with precision,
