This is a great ride for getting really good views of the bridges at Deception Pass from under the bridge. Even though this ride is in a catamaran hull jet boat it is not a fast and get soaked type ride. We went through the pass several times and went to several of the islands in and around the pass. The ride was somewhat leisurely with the boat stopping frequently so we could view wildlife. We saw Canadian geese, porpoises, eagles, seals and a number of other birds on the trip. We got a lot of really great pictures. If you want a fast thrill ride this is not the one for you. If you want a nice tour of the area by boat and a good narration plus the chance to view local wildlife, this is the one for you. The ride is a little pricey, but not too bad and since this is something you will most likely only do once you should go ahead and do it. You buy tickets up on the main highway at a store that is well marked. Then you turn south on a marked turn and drive a ways down to a small harbor that is part of a state park, The tour is not well marked once you reach the pier so you may need to look for the guides carefully. Also, because this is a state park, you will need to fill out a one day $10 parking slip to park your car there. The guides will help you with this. Again - fun ride, worth the little extra money and trouble.

We were in the area and looking to do a whale watching tour. We had been following some of the larger companies and these did not have availability on the day we wanted so I was so happy when I found this company. I had got my research a little bit wrong, I thought the tour would be located closer to Anacortes and therefore we would see orcas, but this was definitely a grey whale watching tour.

The staff were very friendly and I was grateful for the waterproof jumpsuit we were given.

Hurrah we did see whales, seals and sea lions and I enjoyed seeing the scenery around Whidbey Island.

My family took the one-hour Deception Pass tour in August 2017, and we got particularly lucky - since a local orca pod was within range, the tour spontaneously turned into a one-hour orca watching trip! The Deception Pass area is spectacular, and this tour is an exciting way to experience it. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and approachable, and they shared a lot of local history and knowledge of the area's wildlife. We interacted the most with Alyce, who was funny, personable, and responsive to our (many) questions. We heartily recommend it to others, and we're certainly planning on going again next time we visit the area!
