Guaranteed whales on every whale watch.
Island Adventures was one of the first companies to guarantee whales in the San Juan Islands. We are the leaders in whale sightings with an overall sighting success rate over 97%. The guarantee isn't a stand-by pass and there are no blackout dates, it's an offer to come again for 50% off your next tour in hopes of fulfilling our guests' wish to see whales.
