Prepare for Your Tour
All guests must be checked-in and ready to board the vessel 20 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. All tours check-in directly at the dock.
Photos From Your Tour
After each tour, you'll have the opportunity to take home a one of a kind souvenir. Your tour's photos will be available for purchase on a USB thumb drive before you disembark. Forgot to grab one? Simply call or email our office. We maintain a library of photos from every tour since 2017 so you can purchase afterward if you change your mind.
Feel free to bring your own camera to capture some amazing shots as well!
Whale Watching Guidelines
Island Adventures adheres to all state and federal laws when observing wildlife. Our guidelines include operating at safe, slow speeds around whales and viewing from respectful distances. At times a curious whale may approach our vessel, but close encounters like these are rare and always occur on the whale's terms.
Testimonials
At Island Adventures, we pride ourselves on offering the best service in the industry. We understand (and share) the passion to see whales in the wild, and we want to make sure you have the best trip possible. No two tours are the same, which makes every trip truly special!
Photo Gallery
Amazing images are captured aboard Island Adventures tours daily. Aboard each trip, we have the opportunity to see resident orca, transient killer whales, minke, humpback, and/or gray whales. In addition to the 5 different types of whales, we see a wide variety of wildlife and world-class scenery. On our gallery, we highlight the past seasons, building of the brand new (state-of-the-art) Island Explorer 5, and showcase each whale species.
