Conservation Efforts for Orca Whales

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.

History of San Juan Island Outfitters

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.
