Whales Sighted on 87 of Last 89 Tours

Two Gray Whale surface perfectly together on our evening trip
We found a very cooperative tufted puffin off Minor Island on our 3:30 trip

Captain Carl called in to report that The Island Explorer 3 is on-scene with 3 Gray Whales, south of Deception Pass. We also sighted Minke Whales earlier today and some morning clouds have burned-off to sunshine and blue sky! Stay tuned for updates from Naturalists Jami Nagel and Bart Rulon.
"This morning trip started for our passengers before we even got down to the dock. We had a mature bald eagle having his breakfast of pigeon on one of the dock pilings. Once on the boat we headed out Guemes channel where we found a mated pair of bald eagles on a channel marker. We headed out toward Hein Bank where Captain Carl found us 2 Minke whales feeding. We watched them as they worked the bank for bait fish. We also saw harbor seals, pigeon guillemots, rhinocerus aucklet, black oyster catchers and a 4th bald eagle."-Naturalist Jami Nagel
