You can spot these majestic marine animals from many of the shores on the western side of our island. For most visitors, San Juan's orcas are the main event. May through September, residential and migratory pods of orcas inhabit the waters surrounding San Juan.
Is it safe to kayak with orcas? We have been paddling with orca whales since 1980 and know that these intelligent whales are always as aware of us as we are of them. They might be curious at times and swim extremely near, but with no malicious intent. It is illegal to paddle into their path.
