The T100s have been paying us a ton of visits this season! We’ve seen them traveling throughout the San Juan’s and, most recently, have been traveling with their related T101 pod.

Our summer season is quickly wrapping up, but our autumn schedule starts up next week! To kickoff the fall season, you can use the promo code FALL26 when booking online for 25% off our Autumn tours!

Happy National Lighthouse Day from us at OIE! We have a lot of iconic light houses scattered throughout the San Juans, and it’s always a treat see our whales and wildlife passing by.

We had a crazy encounter with the T46B1s this week! Upon arriving with this pod, we were shocked to see the family playing and roughhousing with their youngest family member T46B1D Tashi. We watched the family continually thrash and push around the youngster for quite some time until the pod finally declared play time over and moved on.

The T123s are spending a lot of time here in the San Juans this season! We’ve seen T123 Sidney here and her pod on many of our recent tours, and they have spent extensive time and visits just around the corner in Bellingham Bay in particular!

We had our first humpback calf encounter of the year on Monday’s afternoon trip! After departing a group of Biggs killer whales earlier in the tour, we found Deca and her energetic calf just outside the marina! A few humpbacks have returned with their calves so far this season, with many more expected in the coming weeks.
