FRS Clipper

Check out the ONLY Seattle whale watching tours that leave direct from downtown at Pier 69! The Salish Sea is one of the world’s largest and biologically rich areas teeming with an array of spectacular wildlife. One of the best places to see transient orca killer whales as well as humpback, gray and minke whales breach, splash, feed and play in their natural habitat. Our popular half-day Seattle whale watching tour runs May – October and is a great option (and the most convenient!) for those visiting Seattle looking for a fun day on the water whale watching. If you’re visiting Seattle in March and April, our Seattle gray whale watching tour provides a unique opportunity to view the gray whale seasonal migration to Alaska.

Looking for a quick and easy international getaway from Seattle? See the sights of the Pacific Northwest aboard the iconic Victoria Clipper ferry. The Victoria Clipper V offers the only daily year-round direct ferry service from Seattle to Victoria, BC and features panoramic views of the Puget Sound. From a visit to the Butchart Gardens to tea at the Fairmont Empress or simply a stroll and shopping around the Inner Harbour, Victoria makes for an easy day trip from Seattle. Have an extra day? Save on your Clipper ferry ride with an overnight package. Book with us at our Visitor Center or call 206-880-7167 for more information.
