About San Juan Safaris
San Juan Safaris runs half-day whale watch and wildlife tours from Friday Harbor, steps from the ferry landing, and from Roche Harbor on the north end of San Juan Island. Boats range from the small walk-around Kestrel to vessels carrying up to 125, and naturalists look for orcas, humpbacks, minke whales, seals and eagles in the Salish Sea. Kayak tours, birding safaris, full-day trips and private charters round out the schedule. Peak whale season runs mid-April through early October; the classic tour is $125 per adult.
