What’s black and white and wet all over? You guessed it: an orca! And just like these cool sea creatures, you can hang out with your family while having a whale of a time in the San Juan Islands. It’s a perfect natural playground. With mountains to climb. Waterways to paddle. Tidal pools to explore. And plenty of games for the whole gang. Like stone skipping. Berry picking. Starfish spotting. Ice cream eating. Shorebird skirting. Constellation naming. Lopez Island waving. It’s all waiting for you. You and your pod.

  • Explore San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands by foot, bike and kayak
  • Paddle peaceful inlets and vast kelp beds, spotting harbor seals, otters and bald eagles
  • Look for tiny sea creatures among the tide pools at Shark Reef
  • Whale-watch on Haro Strait, the "Whale Highway"
  • Mount Constitution, with 360-degree mountain and island views
