Ultimately the Best Experience possible... - The Ultimate Tour and experience. They went out of thier way and took all the time needed to make sure we got to see everything we came to see and then some. Maybe we got lucky too. But that does not take away the effort. Very knowlegeable on the difference species and overall history of the area. Do not hesitate to book them. You definitely will not be disappointed. We will be back hopefully next year.

Anacortes Whale Watching Adventure Tour - The whole trip was amazing. I would do this again tomorrow if I could. The boat size was perfect. The company is top notch. We were out in the water for a few hours, they made we saw Eagles, Sea Otters, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Mountain goats and ORCAS..wow!! We followed a pod of 8 for over an hour, it was amazing to see those beautiful animals in their natural environment. The company provides you with gear (jackets, hats, gloves, goggles, ski pants) and since we went at 3pm it was needed. I have been on other whale watching tours but none can top this group. Thanks for an amazing day.

Wonderful wildlife tour - We live locally and brought friends from the East Coast on this tour. We have been on many of the larger whale watching boats over the years. This tour was different because we were so much closer to the water and wildlife on the smaller Zodiac boat. We were all warm and cozy in the suits provided. We saw orca brothers, sea otter, harbor seals, bald eagle, kingfisher, sea lions. The natural beauty of the San Juan Islands never disappoints. Crew was wonderful, with lots of knowledge of local wildlife. Highly recommend this tour if you prefer a more personal experience.

Amazing adventure! - We had a fabulous time on this excursion. Blue Kingdom Tours was organized, communicated well, friendly, experienced, and priced right. Our tour went a little bit longer because our guide wanted us to see more wildlife. We were able to see a bald eagle, sea lions, gray whales and orcas. Also, the gear they provided kept me, my kids, and my nephews warm. This was an exceptional experience and I would highly recommend Blue Kingdom Tours.

Amazing Experience - This was an amazing experience. We saw so many orcas, bald eagles, seals and so much more. We were fitted with warm cozy clothes and binoculars. The speedboat ride by itself was a lot of fun. We were lucky enough to spend some time with 11 big killer whales. Everything was just stunning! Super nice crew as well. Thank you Amanda for all the information you shared!

Beautiful Day on the Water with Whales - Todd and Amanda were awesome! This is definitely the tour to book for fun, informative content and guides who find you whales and wildlife. We were not disappointed. In addition, the gear they give you keeps you warm on the water. I’d never done a zodiac boat before and I highly recommend it. You do not get wet!! Blue Kingdom knows what they’re doing, book this tour.
