Adventures
Adventures come in all sizes…
…sometimes as small as three well-camouflaged birds at the water’s edge.

We’ll depart from Port Angeles on our journey to the festival site at La Conner, Washington, via Anacortes, sailing the Salish Sea in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and cruising through Guemes Channel. The day’s adventure includes breakfast aboard, deluxe motorcoach ground transportation and entry fees to each of the two tulip fields, and evening snacks on your way back to Port Angeles. For those who choose to expand the trip into an overnighter, hotel accommodations are included.

Created by Ediz Hook, a natural sand spit, the calm waters of Port Angeles harbor combine with the spectacular backdrop of the Olympic mountains to provide a natural setting for a series of harbor cruises planned throughout the 2012 sailing season. Each harbor cruise is created to provide fun and relaxation as well as impart interesting information and background on the intricate operations of a working commercial and recreational harbor – from deep draft vessels at anchor, to working pilot and tug boats, to the salmon fish farm, to world-class yacht building, you’ll see the harbor as you’ve never seen it before.
13 – Sunset Crab Cruise – 6:30 to 9 pm

The Strait of Juan de Fuca and the San Juan Islands provide some of the best opportunities for marine wildlife viewing in the world, offering a variety of wildlife which include whales, seals, birds, and other forms of wildlife that frequent our waters. These day-long adventure cruises depart from Port Angeles harbor, explore the bountiful waters of the Northwest and get you back in time for dinner:
Rated #2 on New York Times List: 41 Places to Go in 2011, the San Juan Islands are as much fun to get to as they are to experience. Explore the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca while you watch for the resident orca pods on your journey to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Once landed, you will experience ‘island time’ as you discover unique shops, museums, and dining options. These full day cruises offer the best of two worlds: marine wildlife viewing while cruising and island exploring in the afternoon. Check our calendar for cruise details:
August 25 - 8 am to 7 pm
September 22 - 8 am to 7 pm

The Sequel – September 16, 2012 - 3 pm to 5:30 pm
This is an adventure no one should miss! Following our 2011 trip to the mouth of the Elwha River (which coincided with the largest dam removal and river restoration project in U.S. history), we received a number of requests to revisit the shoreline up to the mouth of the river to explore changes occurring as the river renews itself. The speed with which the project progressed once demolition actually began and the impressive way the river is re-establishing itself will amaze you! Our crew will provide you with background on the project as you cruise to the river mouth.
