Day 1 - Cycle San Juan Valley Loop

We will meet your family at our shop in Friday Harbor and shuttle you to our starting point, just outside of downtown. After a safety lesson, we will take you along safe, quiet, country roads. We will stop at a Lavender Farm where your kids can walk through fields of purple and learn about the many ways to use lavender. We will stop for lunch at Whale Watch Park. Here you can hike to the lighthouse while your guide prepares a delicious and nutritious kid-friendly lunch.

Afterwards, we will cycle north visiting an the island's largest herd of alpacas at the Krystal Acres Alpaca Farm. If a farm employee is available, you may get to pet one of the animals in the field. If time allows, your guide can hike with you to the top of Mount Young for a scenic view of the San Juan Islands, mainland Washington and Vancouver Island. Later this afternoon, we will take a break at Roche Harbor for an afternoon ice cream and walk the docks of its beautiful marina. Roche Harbor is a quaint village with artist kiosks to check out, English gardens to explore, a sculpture park to walk through, and a very unique mausoleum for the adventurous.

Before heading back toward town explore the scenic roads of White Point and onwards to the Westcott Bay Oyster Farm where your family can relax and enjoy local oysters. This route offers a nice ride on a narrow country road along the shores of Westcott Bay with limited traffic. From there you can either jump in our van for a ride back to Friday Harbor or cycle back to Friday Harbor where you can enjoy your comfortable and cozy rooms.

Day 2

Sea Kayak Trip or Whale Watch Cruise

This morning we will either shuttle your family to the beautiful Westside of San Juan Island for a day of sea kayaking or you may choose to go on a whale watch wildlife cruise aboard the Odyssey.

The day of kayaking includes a kayak safety lesson before you begin paddling along the evergreen cloaked coastline. As we journey down the coast, we'll stop for lunch along a beach where you can search for creatures in the tide pools, look for sea glass among the pebbles or simply soak in the scenery. After lunch we will head back out on the water in search of orcas and eagles.

If you choose the whale watch cruise, your family will spend the afternoon cruising the San Juan Islands while parents can sit back and relax in comfort as the personable onboard naturalists share their depth of knowledge on the local whales and wildlife. A picnic lunch prepared by your guide will be served while you are on the boat. This vessel is very family friendly with coloring and books for the small kids, and binoculars and chatting with the captain and naturalists for the older kids.

After a day on the water, either kayaking or whale watching, your guide will bring you back into Friday Harbor to say goodbye until your next adventure.
