Day trips by Area

Our day trips are for the most part loops you can take in a car or RV but we also include tours such as Orca Whale tours by boat.  These trips can take from a few hours to a few days.

 

 

Washington State

 

Whale Watching Cruises

For a uniquely Washington State experience, take a day to see Puget Sound.  There are hundreds of islands in the Greater Puget Sound (for simplicity we include the San Juan Islands and the Canadian Gulf Islands).  There are three pods of Orca Whales that call these waters home.  On occasion you may also see grey or minke whales in the Sound.   These whale watching excursions offer seeing these animals in their native environment.
