The San Juan Islands are one of the most privileged places in the world for whale watching, since they are home to 3 pods of Southern Resident Killer Whales, also known as orcas. As of December 2016, the orca population on the islands was 78, which is why they are on the endanger species list. You can observe these massive beauties from a safe distance on a charter services and sometimes from shore.. If you’re planning on going whale watching around the San Juan Islands, here are some things you should know first.

In the open water, the weather tends to be breezier and it is possible that you will get wet, so make sure to wear warm yet comfortable layers of clothing. Also, this will protect you from the sun due to the reflective water. You might not be aware of the sun due to the wind or the ocean spray, but the ocean’s water will magnify the sun’s rays and you can get a sunburn without even noticing until the end of the day.
