We have lunch onboard the scenic ferry that takes us over to Orcas Island.
Orcas Island is a beautiful combination of rural landscapes dotted with western hemlock and more wildlife than you can imagine.

Today is a fun and hilly ride around the entirety of San Juan Island.

We’ll also visit Cattle Point Light House at the southern tip of the island before ending our ride at Lime Kiln State Park. Lime Kiln is the only state park in the country devoted to orca whale watching, and it’s considered one of the best spots in the world to observe Orcas from land. The riding today is nothing short of spectacular!
