I have been eyeing San Juan Cruises for at least two years and this year my oldest son wanted to…read morecelebrate his birthday exploring by boat. Booking our adventure was extremely easy via the San Juan Cruises website. I greatly appreciate how detailed the reservation information was, and most importantly how courteous the entire team was throughout our time aboard. The team went into great detail about our journey, history on each island we passed, and insights on the protected wildlife we could possibly encounter during our voyage. The vessel was extremely accommodating for all of us on board, ample seating, viewing opportunities, and two restrooms. The team makes an excellent warm lunch was provided; while snacks and beverages were available throughout the entire duration of the voyage (grab a cup of coffee Blue Herron coffee beans based out of Bow, WA makes a great cup!) We managed to encounter eagles, seals, walruses, dolphins, a gray whale, and two different orca pods. Each sighting was absolutely breathtaking and majestic! I could not ever imagine going to a theme park to view these magnificent animals. The voyage takes between 5-6 hours plan, you'll be surprised at how quickly that time goes by. Helpful tip for parents bringing children feel free to pack coloring books, board games, binoculars, and snacks for your littles the San Juan Cruise team welcomes it for the little voyagers. My parents have already had planned to book an excursion during their visit next month, and I highly recommend for anyone who lives in or visiting the area to do so as well!

My boyfriend and I booked the afternoon whale watching cruise at San Juan Cruises not knowing what…read moreto expect and it ended up being the highlight of the weekend. The crew was very friendly and I loved that it was guided by the Captain and Naturalist onboard. I learned a lot about islands in the Salish Sea and we saw several species of animals. There are several great viewing spots on the boat and it's easy to see from inside if it gets too windy. I learned so much about the Biggs orcas, sea lions, and harbor seals. It's not promised, but we saw two different groups of the orcas right at the beginning of the trip and surprisingly at the end in Bellingham bay. It was so nice to learn about them and get an up close view (within safe distance). They served a lunch onboard which was included in the cost, however we packed our own. They also have beverages and snacks for sale throughout the ride. I didn't bring binoculars on board, but I did see people with them. My iPhone was enough to get close up videos and pictures of the animals! I would definitely recommend this to family and friends!

Sometimes taxis are late or a no show. Danny was here exactly when I requested. The car is super clean and spacious. A major plus. Danny was also great to talk to. We joked about my amateur decision making skills on choosing to be an hour and a half early for my flight. Lol. He stopped my fare when we arrived to the airport, but was super nice and offered to drive me down the street for a coffee. He even paid for my coffee and rice crispie treat!! Such a stand up guy. If you need a ride, seriously don't even look anywhere else.

Our group of 13 sailed from Bellingham to Juneau in August of 2016 and can't say enough good about…read morethe M/V Columbia and its crew. I don't recall being in a hotel as clean as this boat. You could comfortably eat in the bathrooms. The crew were a group of highly trained, courteous, professional Merchant Marines. The best part were the views out the windows during the journey north. Humpback whales, harbor seals, harbor porpoises, bald eagles, and sea otters, to name a few. We had a compact stateroom (highly recommended for anyone not wishing to camp on deck) and ate food we brought, food in the very good dining room, and food in the functional snack bar. The bar and lounge have closed for some reason. The boat can carry up to around 500 passengers, our boat was only about 2/3rds full. There was room for everyone. We walked on, but many people brought cars and trucks or bikes. I would do it again and highly recommend it to those wishing an alternate, small-"d" democratic means of getting from the train station in Fairhaven to ports in Alaska. Next time I think a folding (or any) bike would be very handy for getting from the various ferry docks to the centers of the towns.

If you are uncomfortable climbing up and down a bunk bed ladder in the middle of the night for a potty be sure to reserve a room with two bunk beds. Very comfortable beds. Very clean with clean bathroom and shower. The observation lounge was a great place to spend time during our 2 1/2 day trip. The food was amazing. Staff both in the dining room and snack bar were very friendly. There was a very nice cocktail bar. The movie theater showed informational films occasionally and we enjoyed those. Very comfortable ride.

I have used the online cab request service many times, usually for emergency purposes…read more The first time was 2 years ago when we uncovered severe black mold in our apartment and had to take our cat with us to a nearby hotel fast. The driver was helpful, carried our haphazardly packed bags to the van and was sympathetic to our cat's wild howls of terror. The second time was 1 year ago when I twisted my knee at work and couldn't even walk to the bus stop to get home. The driver was very prompt and took the quickest route to my apartment as I requested, Most recently, I work in Lynden and my car broke down the night before an early Sunday morning shift. I requested a ride online on their website the night before. The driver was in front of my house at 7:00 AM exactly, the van was warm and the driver (I believe his last name was Zimmerman) was very nice. Mostly importantly, we hit a hail storm and a huge patch of black ice on Hannegan Rd on our way to Lynden. The vehicle driving on the road in front of us spun out twice across the lanes. The driver of the cab stayed calm and cautious and drove the rest of the way without any mishaps. Not only that, but he got me there 15 minutes faster than it usually takes me to get to work because he used a short cut. I have no reason to dislike this cab service!

Shawn promptly answered. I explained my situation and we arranged for a pick up. He asked that I call when our plane touched down. Again, he answered promptly and cheerfully said, "Well be there". Not only was the cab exactly on time, but he drove right up to the door and helped load two very heavy suitcases. Upon leaving the airport, he asked if we had a preferred route to our house. His driving was efficient and professional. When we arrived, the driver, once again, helped with the heavy luggage. He carried both suitcases up a flight of stairs and placed them directly in front of our door. The fare was less than I had guessed and the service was certainly more than I had expected. We are an elderly couple and all the "extra" considerations and help were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend!

Don't use RedCab. They cost way too much and they went back on a quote…read more I called them a day before I needed their services and was quoted $25 for a six mile trip. That is exceptionally high for a taxi ride. A 6 mile ride in New York City is $26.... this ain't NY. This is Lynden, Washington which made their quote exceptionally high BUT I was in a pinch and had no choice. I get back today and I find out they charged my son $35/each direction. They claim there is a minimum $35 charge... seriously? They failed to mention that. They said NOTHING about a $35 minimum and, like I said, this isn't New York. They should NOT be charging people that kind of money for just a six mile ride. I think they need to revisit their business. I do NOT recommend using these rip off people. They lied about their quote and took advantage of my son who was by himself just trying to get to work and back, and didn't know any better. Shame on them.. Shame!!!

When I called to book I mentioned 4 people and the woman said we'd need _____ as a vehicle. I don't know what their vehicles are so I don't know what that means. We've always had the same car pick us up, even when there were 4 of us. We've never needed any particular type of taxi vehicle as we've ridden in both conventional taxis or minivan taxis. A towncar would have been fine as well, as we've done that as a family. They showed up on time (as always) in a giant SUV. As someone with a bum knee and auto immune issues which can make me really stiff, it was actually difficult to climb in and out of. We got to the airport in a matter of minutes as it was a 2.6 mile trip. I almost choked when he quoted me $60. We usually paid about $20-$23 and that was when we lived across town (8 miles) from the airport. The driver indicated that's their minimum charge now. I don't know if we were being hustled or what, but I would never intend to again pay $60 + tip for a 5 minute ride. I don't know if that charge was higher because of the SUV or what. Would not use again at those rates and would suggest if you are booking you confirm the rate. Evergreen had always been about the same as every other service so it didn't cross my mind to confirm a price, especially with us being so close to the airport.
