SOME EMAILS FROM PAST WHALE WATCHING TRIPS:
"I just wanted to drop a note to once again say thank you to Captain Pete, Rowann and Val for the wonderful time my family had on July 26th. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, and the first time our 8 year old son Duncan had ever been on a boat (that wasn't a ferry! :) The trip was all we could have hoped for and more - gorgeous weather, friendly and well-informed crew, and the sight of all those beautiful Orcas was just breathtaking. We still talk about how Hugo came so close to the boat, and watching him play with 4 of the K-pod females in the kelp beds by Stuart Island. It was absolutely magical! I've been telling all our friends and family and my clients about your tour (I'm a freelance artist, and the photos from the trip were worth the tour price in itself to me! :) with glowing praise and high recommendations all around. You all should be extremely proud of what you've created and the welcoming, friendly atmosphere that makes your tour such a fantastic place for families. Warmest wishes to you and yours -" Mrs. Amy K. Brown (and Clint and Duncan too!) owner, HeatherWind Designs www.heatherwind.com

“A belated email to say how thrilled we were to come out with Western Prince Cruises last month and to see J-pod! It was definitely the highlight of our visit to the US, and well worth a lot of driving and effort to get up to the San Juan Islands. The whales were absolutely magnificent and it was a privilege to watch them. We all enjoyed going out in a small boat with room to move around the deck. We loved the San Juan Islands too! Our youngest daughter is having her birthday party on Sunday and the theme is - you've guessed - orca whales!! We all look forward to returning to Friday Harbor one day.” D. F., R. F., E. F., E. F., and G. F. Southsea, England

“Thank you for providing an excellent outing. I just returned home to Chicago and had to let you know what a great time I had; being able to watch the whales from such a great vantage point. The ability to witness two pods of whales communicate beneath me was something I thought I would never experience and I still can't get the vision of the first whale I saw spyhop out of my head. The beauty of your islands and its wildlife is something I will always remember.” S. W. Chicago, IL

“I just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful time I had. I am truly in love with orcas, and I have to say my lifetime dream came true when I first saw Everett (J-18)! I can't say thank you enough. It was a wonderful day. (And by the way, the weather was great, too! Makes me want to move up there!) Thanks again.” M. R.
