The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor on Orcas Island is a perfect first stop on your sightseeing tour. Inside a historic building lies a resource of unlimited information about whales and orcas. We enjoyed the displays and information gathering before we went out to see the actual whales themselves. After gaining an understanding of these magnificent creatures and how they are studied, we watched them in real time off the island coastline and had a much better appreciation for how to observe these intelligent marine mammals.
