The San Juan Islands are accessible only by air or by boat,  and most popularly by Washington State Ferry from Anacortes, guests discover there are no delays for visitors willing to leave their cars behind. Friday Harbor, a quaint seaport, rises from the ferry landing and public marina where it is an easy stroll to the docks, parks, restaurants, shops, galleries and of the many of the abundant lodging facilities.
Additionally, visitors can readily take a cruise, pedal a bike, hop a flight, paddle a kayak, charter a boat, catch a bus or rent a car to see Orca's in their natural habitat and to wander about the island exploring the National and State parks.
