Bellingham’s close proximity to the San Juan Islands is the perfect location to set off for a whale watching adventure. The San Juan Islands, known for its picturesque wildlife viewing, including Orca whales (Orcinus orca), is just a short, scenic ride away. Many Orcas, living in groups called ‘pods’ make the islands their year-round home. View them in their natural setting aboard one of the many local charter vessels companies. Most operate daily during the summer months. For more information on whale watching opportunities, please contact the businesses directly or view more information on their web-sites.
