1. Baby Wildlife
Explore the stunning whale watching park with its iconic light house, whale watching platforms and interpretive trails. Look for majestic Bald Eagle parents teaching their eaglets how to fly, baby seals, waiting so patiently for their Mom to come back from hunting, and Humpbacks returning from Hawaii with their babes in tow.
Please keep a respectful distance and never ever feed wildlife.
2. Wildflower Hike
Walk the prairie high above the Salish Sea at American Camp National Park when it is abloom with Blue camas, wild roses, lupines, poppies and all kinds of other wildflowers. Look for seabirds, foxes and bunnies and walk on designated trails only to help protect the fragile habitat of the endangered Island Marble Butterfly.
4. Kayak Tour
Let us book you on the first Orca Search by Kayak trip of the season when you make your room reservation with us. Our friends at San Juan Outfitters are the exclusive kayak tour operators at Roche Harbor on the north end of the isle, which allows access to areas no other kayak tour company can go.
8. Wine Bar Hopping
Friday Harbor has seven wine bars within walking distance to our hotel. Check out the island-made libations and charcuterie platters at Madrone Cellars right across the street from our hotel. Sway to original tunes at an open mic at Everelse, slurp fresh oysters, old Scotch and champagne at the Oystertale on the waterfront or indulge in the best vegan food you ever had at Mike’s Wine Bar.
