Reviews for Outer Island Excursions

Such a wonderful experience!! Trevor, Tiffany, and Megan did an amazing job hosting and educating us. Great communication and personalities all around. And so much time with the whales!!

Outer Island Excursions offered us an excellent whale watching experience. We left out of Anacortes and made a quick stop at Orcas Island to pick up a few more guests - which added to our wonderful time on the water. The two captains (Trevor, Matt) and the naturalist, Liberty - were all friendly, professional and educated. They were very willing to share their knowledge. We were lucky and saw a gray whale and several Orcas. The boat was extremely stable & comfortable. My only advice - is to make sure that you take jackets and maybe some water & snacks, as none are available on the boat. But, the experience was top notch and I would do it again. I highly recommend taking a tour, of any kind, with them.

Professional team. Went out of their way to be nice and explain all the details about whales etc. I recommend them.

Great tour. Smaller boat than what I have taken before but I really liked it. It didn't feel too crowded which as a photographer was super nice. The crew was great and super informative. Would definitely recommend this company.

Great whale watching excursions if you are in the Seattle area. The crew were super helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Definitely recommend for anyone that wants to see whales!
