"Our tour was excellent...the most memorable of our 3 trips to date"
~Larry and Jeanne Lovelace
Two days exploring the Pacific Northwest's San Juan Islands with local guides.
Experience the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands with TerraTrek. Join us for two days as we bike across Orcas and sea kayak along San Juan Island's magnificent coastline. These majestic islands will take you along beautiful winding hills, into enchanted forests and up to the highest peak in the San Juan Islands for a panoramic view of the Pacific North West. You will have the opportunity to witness amazing wildlife such as bald eagles soaring over head or a chance to look into the eyes of a deer that crosses your path. Sound too good to be true? It's not! The San Juan's are abundant with wildlife on land and at sea. While kayaking, you may encounter an orca whale, minke whale, seal or sea lion. At the end of the day become mesmerized by some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world and relive the eternal memories from this TerraTrek vacation.
Day One
Our friendly, local guides will greet you on beautiful Orcas Island. We begin our bicycling journey along scenic, less traveled side roads to
Eastsound, a small village on the island. Here you can shop, send a postcard home or visit with friendly locals. Once everyone has had a chance to taste island living, we ride to Moran State Park where there are over 30 miles of hiking trails for the adventurers at heart. With gorgeous lakes and inviting waterfalls to cool off in, you should bring a swimming suit for this experience. You will have the opportunity to ride (or catch a lift) to the top of 2,409 foot high Mount Constitution, where you will be awestruck by the panoramic view of the San Juan Islands, the Cascade and Olympic Mountain ranges, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and neighboring Canada. Afterwards we coast 3 miles down to Rosario Resort. You will find this resort relaxing and full of things to do. Tonight we dine on fresh, local fare in the Orcas Room overlooking Cascade Bay. After dinner go for a night cap in the Moran Lounge or take a romantic, moonlit stroll along the bay to end your evening.
Day Two
After a gourmet breakfast, we head out to catch the ferry to Friday Harbor. This is home to many of our staff so don't be surprised if your guides say hello to fellow islanders in passing. Because many of us are residents to this island paradise, we love to surprise you with special hospitality when visiting San Juan Island. Today we will go sea kayaking along glacially carved cliffs on an excursion to see orca whales, bald eagles, porpoise, seals, minke whales, seabirds and other marine life. Enjoy lunch, picnic style on a secluded beach, then check out nearby tide pools brimming with sea life. After a day of kayaking, we will take you back to the ferry in Friday Harbor where we bid farewell until your next TerraTrek vacation!
