About Puget Sound Express

This amazing half-day cruise allows you to experience all the Olympic Peninsula has to offer. Being the fastest guaranteed whale watch on the West Coast, you’ll have more time to explore Olympic National Park, Sequim Lavender Fields, Hurricane Ridge and much more. This tour departs Port Townsend at 10:30am. Port Townsend's location at the NE tip of the Olympic Peninsula is the ideal launching point, providing access to all areas of the Salish Sea. Our range includes the San Juan Islands, Victoria or even the Puget Sound.

Our custom-built whale watching vessels feature comfortable inside seaing for everyone with a heated cabin, an outdoor viewing deck for wildlife, TV monitors for naturalist presentations, a snack bar and restrooms. Don’t miss our signature, freshly-baked “blueberry buckle.” Along our journey, the wildlife is endless from whales, bald eagles, harbor seals, California and Steller sea lions, tufted puffins and many other species of marine life. On-board you will have a trained naturalist that will guide you along the way and explain the scenery, geography, history and wildlife of the area.

For the Hanke family, it seems like Puget Sound Express has always been part of their lives. Raised in the Puget Sound his entire life, Pete Hanke honed his seafaring abilities alongside his father, Pete Sr. Together, the two started leading weeklong sailing adventures across the Pacific Northwest in 1981 and eventually started whale tours. Today, the business still remains a family affair, with grandparents, children, and grandchildren working side by side.

Our whale watching tour with Puget Sound Express was the highlight of our vacation! We saw a family of Orca whales and a guide explained as the mom and her four children hunted and captured their prey. It was amazing! We also saw tons of sea lions, various birds (puffins!), and a minke whale. All of the employees worked together to make it an amazing day. The boat is spacious and clean, the food servers were proactively helpful, the guides had endless knowledge to share if you were interested, the ticket office accommodated our large group and even reserved seating together, and the captain and crew gave us plenty of time to watch the wildlife while angling the boat to minimize the rocking. I can’t wait to go again!!

This was my second tour, and it was another wonderful experience. Captain Tony, Claire, and Zoey took great care of everyone. We saw a pod of orcas and multiple humpbacks.

Of course you can't predict nature and you have to go with the flow and not have high expectations but I did get a check off on my bucket list and that was to see a whale in the wild. They do there best and communicate with other boats to find the whales. We saw six humpbacks this trip. All feeding and a couple with calves. It was awesome. Your phone camera will not capture the excitement or the moment. My expectation was to see whales like I do on TV, forgetting that's all special equipment. Nevertheless, it was still exciting to see and I would definitely say it's a must do when in PT.

Perfect day for whale watching! The services provided by Treavor and staff was over the top. The Blueberry Cake…I should have had another piece. The coffee cup refill…wonderful idea. Keep up the good work.
