"Bicycling and Whale Watch"
"We chose Terra Trek because of the flexibility and variety of tour options. 4 days 3 nights was the perfect length of stay for someone coming from the east. We never felt pressed for time, and had a nice day in Seattle as well. Honestly, one of the best trips we've had of any kind. We often vacation with our bikes but have never done so on an organized trip with a guide. Brett made us feel super comfortable every minute and was a great and very supportive, and great lunch chef! We enjoyed the amazing scenery each at our own pace so it worked well. Activities were varied, all arrangements stellar. You are in a special part of the planet and we were so happy to enjoy visiting it in such a way. Great job." Paula K, June

"First class experience! Biking/Hiking/Kayaking the San Juan Islands"
"First, Brett Paul was a wonderful, thoughtful, friendly, encouraging, and professional guide. He and your other guides are your "secret sauce" for ensuring a first-rate vacation. The inns and meals were all top-notch. We loved not only the food, but how the staff at the restaurants treated us once they knew we were with Crystal Seas/Terra Trek. It was a first class experience in every way. We have already recommended you to others." Kbarj, August

"Outstanding bike/kayak/camping trip with TerraTrek"
"Just returned from a fantastic 4-day trip with Crystal Seas sister company, TerraTrek. Our guide, Maya, was just wonderful: so knowledgable and accommodating and a great, creative camp cook.... we were fortunate to see 2 humpbacks! With this well-established local company, we were assured of an insider's peek into the San Juan Islands -- so glad we went local. We would go back in a heart beat. Can't recommend enough."

"Kayaking and biking with Crystal Seas Kayaking"
"We recently did a fabulous multi-activity 3-day trip with Crystal Seas Kayaking/TerraTrek Biking. We appreciated how accommodating Crystal Seas was in taking our needs and schedule into consideration when planning the activities and accommodations. We loved touring with just our family group of 5 and having the flexibility and freedom to design the tour. It felt so personalized and was an absolute perfect trip for us all." Mindy K, August

Cycle to and Experience Roche Harbor Marina and Resort
After lunch you will continue north toward Roche Harbor enjoying the sights along the way. If you are interested in breaking up this route you can stop at the alpaca farm to see these South American natives and check out the wool gift shop.

The summit of Mount Young offers impressive views of the Canadian Gulf Islands and northern San Juan Islands. Distance: 10.1m/16.2km - 1 h 28 min

White Point Loop
Before heading back toward town explore the scenic roads of White Point. This route will take you past the Westcott Bay Cider and Spy Hop Distillery- have a taste of their local juniper gin or local apple ciders. This route also offers a nice ride on a narrow country road along the shores of Westcott Bay with limited traffic. Distance: 2.4 miles

Return to Lakedale Campground and Enjoy a delicious lakeside dinner
Arrive at Lakedale Campground
Tonight we will camp at Lakedale. Walk among the apple orchards or go for a dip in the lake while your guides prepare an impressive dinner. Turn in your bike for the day, indulge in a happy hour beverage and reflect on your first day's adventure. Lakedale is a beautiful campground in the middle of 3 finger lakes. While Lakedale sports numerous activities for both kids and adults; you will have no trouble finding a quiet spot to escape into a good book. Enjoy a delicious lakeside dinner All meals are prepared fresh for you by your guides. We support our local community and source many of our ingredients from farmers and providers right here in the San Juan Islands. Our meals are eco friendly, sustainable, and GMO/pesticide free; a way of life for many islanders. Please inform us of your dietary preferences so we can prepare your custom meals. We can accommodate all eating preferences and allergies.
Day 2
Go Sea Kayaking or Whale Watching Today you can choose a Whale Watch and Wildlife Cruise or a Guided Sea Kayaking Trip. Your guide will provide you with all the kayaking equipment and instruct you on how to safely sea kayak in our calm local waters. On both tours you have the opportunity to see orca whales, bald eagles, porpoise, seals, minke whales, seabirds and other marine life. The choice is yours! Whichever option you choose you will get to experience the islands from a new vista. Spending time offshore is an important part of understanding the island community and its dynamic ecosystem. We will serve you a delicious seaside lunch along the way. Enjoy the views, salty air and the naturalist knowledge your guides will share with you. Experience Wildlife Our kayak route offers one of the best opportunities in the world to see wild orca whales from a kayak because we paddle in a federally designated whale habitat. Since we can't guarantee that they will show up on every kayak trip, we offer the option to increase the odds to over 90% by spending the afternoon aboard a whale watch cruise aboard the Odyssey. The resident J, K, and L pods of orcas have recently been put on the endangered species list so our goal is to respect them, abide by the guidelines and not to paddle aggressively into their path. We will give you a lesson at the beginning of the tour for appropriate kayaking behavior near wildlife.
What's Included:We provide tents, sleeping pads, camp pillows, support van/shuttle, biking gear, a kayak tour or whale watch cruise, campsite breakfasts, picnic lunches, campsite dinners, snacks, and a happy hour beverage of your choice after the day's activity. You will need to bring personal clothing, toiletries, sleeping bag(availble for rent) and a sense of adventure.
