Itinerary
Pike Place Market (Pass By)
We start our tour from Pier 69 along historic Alaskan Way just steps from the world famous Pike Place Market.
Space Needle (Pass By)
Departing from Pier 69 on Seattle’s downtown waterfront, the vessel begins its journey by heading out into Elliott Bay. As you leave the dock, you’ll have a clear view of the Seattle skyline, with the iconic Space Needle standing tall to the right. The city’s skyscrapers line the shore, and the bustling waterfront gradually fades into the distance. It’s a smooth and scenic start to the trip, offering great photo opportunities and a unique perspective of Seattle from the water.
Salish Sea
Departing from Pier 69 on the Seattle waterfront, less than a mile away from iconic attractions such as the Pike Place Market and the Space Needle. The whale and marine wildlife tour offers an exciting opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the Salish Sea while searching for orcas, humpback whales, gray whales, and minke whales in their natural habitat. Along the way, you may also spot seals, sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, and other marine birds. A naturalist is on board to provide expert commentary and answer questions, helping you learn about the local ecosystem, whale behavior, and conservation efforts. The tour follows respectful wildlife viewing guidelines to ensure a safe and sustainable experience for both guests and animals. With comfortable seating, panoramic views, and plenty of opportunities for photos, this tour combines adventure, education, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
