Your best option - There seem to be many choices for whale watching trips in Anacortes. This company is the most professional. The small groups, high quality boats, warm gear for the passengers, and knowledgeable crew make this experience a cut above the rest.

Such an awesome afternoon of seeing orcas! - Such an awesome experience! Amanda and Austin were great! We saw the resident orca family and followed them (at a safe distance) for almost 2.5 hours observing their behaviors and hunting. The zodiac was comfortable and the smaller group size was great! Highly recommend this company and activity!

A Great Tour - The captain was an excellent navigator and the first mate was really knowledgeable on all the ocean creatures. They spent quite a lot of time and effort searching for whales.

Amazing Orca experience - This was a fantastic experience and one that I highly recommend! My husband has been on several whale watching tours and said that this was the best he had been on. Our guides were knowledgeable and took us very far north into Canada for sightings. Even the journey itself through the San Juan islands was beautiful. We saw a whole family of Orcas who put on quite a show, jumping out of the water for us. The tour lasted over 4 hours. I would definitely suggest an afternoon tour and choosing one or the smaller boats meant that we could get out to sea much further and quicker.

Quality gear, excellent service, incredible knowledge - My experience started off so well when I was called personally to address an ADA question I had asked in my online registration. Once we arrive for our tour the customer service continued to be excellent. Fantastic afternoon with our family of 7 adults. They provided us with wonderful Simms cold weather gear and we were warm the entire trip. Don’t worry too much about what to wear because their gear is perfect. Tennis shoes and sunscreen is about all you need to think about. You can take water on the boat. We had a great guide in Amanda who was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and you could tell this was not just her job it was also her passion. Amanda and our captain worked as a flawless team. We were able to follow two different families of Orcas. We also saw harbor seals, sea lions and bald eagles. HIGHLY recommend

Best day! - We had an incredible tour- 10+/10. Amanda was great, we saw orcas, humpback, sea lines, seals, eagles and had fun. We brought our 4 kids and every one of us felt it was one of our best vacation experiences. I preferred the smaller open boat.

Memorable experience - We did the 6 person charter and was the best decision we made. Tyler was the Captain and is co-owner of the company. Excellent captain and so full of information. When you talk with him, you can tell this is his passion. While no one can obviously control the minds of the wildlife, Tyler has a goal to do his best for you to have a memorable experience. Riding on a smaller boat with only your group and the scenery was amazing in itself. Now on to the wildlife. We saw orcas, playful breaching humpback whales, see lions, seals and various birds. We had a fruitful day with the wildlife. This company is respectful to the wildlife in the area and Tyler has set a standard for Blue Kingdom. Thanks for the memorable tour for me and my friends. Definitely bringing my daughter and mom back for this tour.

We were between this... - We were between this option and a bigger boat out of the islands, but were SO glad we decided on this one. Incredibly convenient for a quick day trip. Crew was awesome and knowledgeable and had all the gear we could ever need.
