A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

About San Juan Safaris

We Love Wildlife!
San Juan Safaris prides itself in providing high-quality, small and large-group whale watching and wildlife tours.

In business since 1995, we are among the leaders in our industry – helping to create and uphold the wildlife viewing guidelines observed today.  

We operate three fast, well-maintained U.S. Coast Guard-inspected vessels. Our greater speed gives us longer ranges and more sightings. No one else sees more whales than us!

San Juan Safaris is located in Friday Harbor just steps from the ferry landing on San Juan Island.

KEEP THE WORLD GREEN

Conservation

Our philosophy is to observe, but not interfere with Orca behavior.  

Our Naturalists personally interact with guests, interpreting one of the most unique environments on Earth to all. Each of our Naturalists shares our philosophy as well as a deep love of our native wildlife and habitat.

GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY

Community Enrichment Initiative

We strive to serve our community and individuals of the world.

San Juan Safaris donates services as well as auctions off group rentals in order to give back to local, regional, and national not-for-profit organizations, schools, and outdoor adventure groups.

MEET THE OWNERS & PHILOSOPHY

A Brief History

In business since 1995, we are among the leaders in our industry – helping to create and uphold the wildlife viewing guidelines observed today.

Brian, Rachel, and the kids enjoy spending time outdoors kayaking, hiking, adventure running, or cross-country skiing. Whether winter or summer, rain or shine, you’ll find them both either working or playing outside. The San Juan Islands and Pacific Northwest are the perfect location for an active lifestyle.
