★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 378 reviews · 4 hours · from $148Our pick

Whale watching cruise from Seattle Pier 69 in the Salish Sea, naturalist guide, 97% sighting rating, and snacks onboard.

“Absolutely incredible. The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable, and the route was stunning—at times it didn’t even feel like the U.S. with how surreal the views were. We watched a pod of orcas, a humpback whale, and even minke whales. One of those trips that sticks with you. Couldn’t recommend more.”
