点评:Our four hour whale watching trip out of Anacortes WA did not disappoint, even though we sailed in fog for at least 1.5 hours. We left Anacortes promptly and we were advised that we needed to pass through a fog bank. The approach to the San Juan from Anacortes is quite beautiful and we could still see well enough to enjoy the views. The boats up there are in contact with one another, so we sailed towards the last sighting of a pair of killer whales, it was thrilling. We observe them for 30 minutes or so and then heard there was a sighting of a humpback a short distance away so we set out for that site and again we’re thrilled at seeing the humpback. during our return to Anacortes, we again encountered fog.
The only reason I marked a four star instead of five is that we spent two hours to get to Anacortes coming from Seattle and we found there were many opportunities we passed up in Victoria and Port Angeles that would’ve been easier access and shorter boat rides. It was our mistake not to include whale watching in our itinerary.
I also suggest checking Groupon as I think we saved ourselves around $100 between the two of us.
Both our boat Captain Kirk and marine biologist, Brittany were extremely knowledgeable and were determined to make us all the whale lovers by the end of the trip! Now I follow whale sightings on a Facebook page out of the northwest
翻译:我们从华盛顿州安娜科特斯出发的四小时赏鲸之旅没有让我们失望,尽管我们在雾中航行了至少 1.5 小时。我们准时离开了安娜科特斯,并被告知我们需要穿过雾区。从安娜科特斯到圣胡安的路途非常美丽,我们仍然可以看得很清楚,欣赏美景。那里的船只相互接触,所以我们向最后发现一对虎鲸的地方航行,这太令人兴奋了。我们观察了它们 30 分钟左右,然后听说在不远处发现了座头鲸,所以我们出发前往那个地方,再次看到座头鲸,我们非常兴奋。在我们返回安娜科特斯的途中,我们再次遇到了雾。
我给四星而不是五星的唯一原因是,我们从西雅图出发花了两个小时才到达安娜科特斯,我们发现在维多利亚和安吉利斯港有很多机会,我们错过了,因为这些地方交通更方便,乘船时间更短。我们没有把赏鲸纳入行程,这是个错误。
我还建议查看 Groupon,因为我认为我们两个人节省了大约 100 美元。
我们的船船长柯克和海洋生物学家布列塔尼都非常博学,并决心在旅行结束时让我们都成为鲸鱼爱好者!现在我在西北地区的 Facebook 页面上关注鲸鱼目击事件
