Sherri’s famous Blueberry Buckle

2012 is here! We hope it will be an outstanding year for you and your family.

The past year was a special year for whale watching and wildlife in the Pacific Northwest. We had our resident orca pods nearby, of course, but we also were graced by loads of humpback whales, gray whales, minkes  - and of course all of the amazing birds that visit the region.

Right now, our boats are receiving their annual maintenance work. However, we’ve opened up registration for our spring Gray Whale tours, our summer full-day trips to San Juan Island (Friday Harbor), and our Guaranteed 4-Hour Whale Watching tours.

You can reserve your trips online 24/7, or call us at 360-385-5288 and we’ll help you over the phone.

We also want to remind you that we book dozens of custom group tours every year for residents and visitors from around the world. So if you’re looking for that custom touch – we love creating itineraries that your special event or gathering.

This holiday season, enjoy something a little out of the ordinary with Puget Sound Express

December 3, 10, 17, and 23, we  are offering special trips from Port Townsend to downtown Seattle to take part in the “Christmas Ship Parade.”  This is the 14th year we’ve participated, and the Parade is a favorite with our customers and staff. We hope you can join our family on these special tours.

What is the Parade? Argosy Harbor Tours dresses up their main tour boat, The Spirit of Seattle with Christmas lights and a live choir that sings carols to everyone around the vessel. Each night the ship takes a different route in the Seattle area. During the trip many other boats, also in Christmas lights, join the parade and sing along with the choir.

On these nights we board the Glacier Spirit and travel to Seattle. We choose dates that are the most popular, so that you are sure to get a good show. Along the way, we enjoy some warm soup with fresh baked bread while enjoying Christmas carols and great company. Once in Seattle, we join the Parade by the waterfront soaking up the sights and sounds of the choir singing from the ‘Christmas Ship.’

Visit our Christmas Ship Parade page to learn more, or reserve your seat online right now.
