James Maya Whale-for the Whale Watching. We did this as a day trip, but wished we would have spent the night on the island.

I would spend the night at Rainier instead of doing it as a day trip. We spent two days and two nights and could have done more.

Burberry212, Victoria Clipper offers a whale watching trip that has a stop in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, so you don't have locate a separate wale watch. We took it several summers ago and had the magical experience of about 11 Orcas swimming under and past our vessel.
