4-day Camping San Juan Islands Washington

Wake up to the sounds of birds outside your tent, watch the sunrise over the Cascade Mountains and then prepare to cycle until your heart's content. Join us for four days as we bike across the Pacific Northwest's Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Islands. These majestic islands will lead you through beautiful winding hills, rolling pastures dotted with sheep and along steep, seaside cliffs. 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. We also take a day to sea kayak or whale watch where you may spot an orca whale, minke whale, seal or sea lion. At the end of the day, enjoy camping at its finest. Our professional guides will assist you with setting up your camping gear leaving time for you to relax while we cook the most delicious cuisine you have ever had in the great outdoors. Sleep in top of the line Kelty Dome tents on comfortable Therm-A-Rest sleeping pads. If you don't want to bring a sleeping bag, we can provide one for you. So come alone or bring your friends and family for the vacation of a lifetime with TerraTrek!

Day One

Our friendly guides will greet you on scenic Lopez Island. We begin our bicycling journeys along unpopulated winding roads that hug the shoreline. Ride through rolling pastures, past century old farmhouses and rest at a beautiful pebbled beach with a picturesque view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Tonight we stay at the Lopez Farm where you will get to experience your first gourmet camp side meal prepared by our fun and entertaining guides.

Day Two

Wake up early to watch the sunrise and then grab a cup of fresh coffee while your guides make a gourmet breakfast which includes fresh fruits from the island's orchards. Afterwards, we take the ferry to Orcas Island. There we set off on 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 journey on to Moran State Park. With over 30 miles of hiking trails, gorgeous lakes and inviting waterfalls to cool off in, there should be plenty for you to do. Cycle or catch a lift to the top of 2,409 foot high Mount Constitution, for a breathtaking, panoramic view of the San Juan Islands, the Cascade and Olympic Mountain ranges, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and neighboring Canada. Tonight we dine on fresh local cuisine. Afterwards, take a romantic, moonlit stroll along the lake to end your evening.

Day Three (Layover)

This morning we will 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 cycle along San Juan Island's west side where you can enjoy expansive views of the Olympic Peninsula and Victoria B.C. If you're lucky, you might spot a whale during lunch at Whale Watch Park! Afterwards, we head to Roche Harbor. This historical resort and marina has its own laid back pace. Here you can browse the shops or stroll through the English Gardens. Tonight we camp at Lakedale. Walk among the apple orchards or go for a dip in the lake while your guides prepare an impressive dinner.

Day Four

After a hearty breakfast, get ready to see wildlife! You may choose to take a whale watch/wildlife cruise or get close and personal with a guided sea kayaking trip. 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! We'll enjoy a delicious picnic style lunch and then head back to Friday Harbor to say our good byes until your next TerraTrek vacation!
