Included are photos from three whale watching trips in 2009 near the San Juan Islands of Washington state. The first two trips, in June and July are with PS Express, www.pugetsoundexpress.com, out of Port Townsend, Washington. The third trip, in August, is with Island Adventures, www.island-adventures.com (make sure you include the "-"), out of Anacortes, Washington. I would highly recommend both companies!
Our first trip on June 14, 2009, may have been a little too early in the season as we did not see any Orcas, however we did see some Minke and Grey whales. On the next two trips, we saw lots of Orcas!
Love the pictures, John. Orcas are my favorite creatures - our whale-watching trip was way back in 2002 or 2003 and it was so great to see these wonderful animals in their natural habitat. Made me even more convinced that it is an abomination that the captive orcas should be made to do tricks for their dinners.
