Spectacular - Always wonderful. We use this company every year to take kids out for a whale watch tour during a summer camp. They are patient, kind, educational, and fun! Brooke and Tyler are exceptional guides. Thank you as always.

Best Day - So fun and relaxing even. We saw a lot of wildlife and the guides were the best. The boat was the perfect size. The company provided high quality rain jackets, pants, beanies, gloves and binoculars to use during the tour.

Put this tour on your Pacific Northwest "To Do" list! - This was a highlight of our vacation. The staff was incredibly nice and knowledgable. Best of all we saw several orca, sea lions, seals, and even a porpoise! They had all of the gear to keep us dry and warm, too. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Totally Awesome - We had a group of four for the all day whale watching tour and it was fabulous. We saw lots of hump back whales, sea lions, puffins, otters and a mink whale (spelling). They were fabulous hosts and very informational. They would stop for periods of time so that we could watch the activity of the animals in their natural habitat. We highly recommend using this company if you're interested in doing such a tour.

Beautiful - Perfect sunset trip. We saw sea lions, harbor seals, orcas, eagles and heron.
I was worried about being cold but the provided bibs and coat were toasty. Don’t forget to grab gloves, even in the warmer months. All you really need to bring with you is your camera. So fun!

Fantastic trip!!! - We had a blast! We saw several whales, sea lions, bald eagles, and more. The naturalist was knowledgeable, the captain was friendly, and the boat was smooth, fast, and super fun. There was a pretty large bathroom on board. This size boat was able to get into places a larger boat would not, and we were able to go much farther and see more than on other whale watching boats I’ve been on because of its speed. Despite the speed, the ride was extremely smooth and definitely much more fun! If you’d like adventure and want to see as much of the islands as possible, I would absolutely do this trip.

Highly recommend!! - What an experience for an old lady from Pittsburgh! Tyler and Brooke could not have been any more welcoming, accommodating, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. It was great seeing all the wildlife but the boat ride was awesome! My son and I had a wonderful adventure! Highly recommend!!

Great Whale Watching Trip - Had an amazing whale watching trip with Blue Kingdom. We got very lucky and spotted a group of 20+ Orca's. They were super active splashing and jumping around. We were provided overalls and jackets which were great to have. Our Captain and Naturalist were super nice, very informative and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend Blue Kingdom if you're looking for whale watching trip out of Anacortes.
