Thought we were going to miss out on whalewatching because most of the boats left from Anacortes. Made a lucky find of this trip out of Port Townsend! My only regret is we didn't spend the night in Friday Harbor and come back on the next day's boat. Next time we will take that option. The weather was beautiful and... more

My boyfriend and I went whale-watching with Puget Sound Express (PS Express) on Friday, September 25, 2009. The tour was expertly run.

The staff were very courterous, knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The boat was comfortable with large booth/table seating, with large windows for viewing, the deckway was safe for an in the wind blowing, sea sprite experience or viewing close up the orca whales, sea lions, porpoises, etc. The sail to Friday Harbor was smooth, even with some... more

It holds probably 50 people. You can seat 6 people in a booth on the boat. The captain was the owner of PS Express...and he was... more

We took Puget Sound Express's San Juan Islands Sightseeing trip on Sunday, September 9. It was an excellent experience. We left from Port Townsend about 9 am. After an hour or hour and a half on the water, we came across several orcas. First we saw a female, then a baby, then later a male. It was amazing. We moved... more

My husband and I recently paid PS Express $125.00 for a Whale Watch Tour that offered a stop in Friday Harbor that could be extended to include an overnight stay at Friday Harbor which we opted for. The boat was to leave Friday Harbor some time between 2 PM - 2:30 PM for the afternoon portion of the tour but... more
