Whale Watching

Whale Watching in Olympic National Park

Great tales start here.

Kalaloch is one of the best places on Earth to spot majestic gray whales as they migrate along the Pacific Coast. From April to May and again in October and November, you might catch them right from the Lodge—especially during Whale Watching Month in May.

Kalaloch is also home to Washington’s first Whale Trail sign, and whale watching is just the beginning. Keep an eye out for sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters and even orcas at nearby viewpoints.

Make Kalaloch Lodge your base for a whale-watching adventure. For guided tours, check out local operators like Puget Sound Express in Port Angeles.
