Description
A Classic Island Adventure
Mother Nature’s aqueous masterpieces—tranquil channels, shimmering harbors and pristine bays—provide the stunning backdrop for our exploration of Washington’s San Juan Islands. On bike and foot, follow thick corridors of trees past sheltered inlets and coves and over rolling green mountains. Sleek kayaks let you navigate peaceful bays, where harbor seals, great blue herons and sea stars make their home. Shop in galleries featuring the work of local artists, feast on the freshest catch of the day and soak in the magical sunsets that are all part of life on the San Juans.
