San Juan Island is a natural paradise, home to many marine animals including 3 pods of resident Orca whales. There's no better place on earth to witness these playful, mysterious creatures. San Juan Island is also a recreation paradise, and most visits won't feel complete without sea kayaking, horseback riding, biking, a moped tour of the island, or at the very least, a great dinner at one of San Juan Island's finer restaurants. It's a good idea to book summer activities in advance. Choose from the activities below and call us to build your vacation today.
