The ferry ride is part of the adventure!
It is a transfer ride like no other. See the beautiful shorelines of the islands within The Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Salish Sea's main outlet to the Pacific Ocean.
The service, guides, hotels, and the scenery were all beyond any expectation. The rides were through spectacular forests with a pine tree smell that I'll only smell at Christmas. It sounds cliche, but it was literally a trip of a lifetime... It was all seamless and relaxing. Thank you again for a wonderful trip!!

The rides were challenging but incredibly well supported. I felt like a pro rider with the level of attention and accommodation. The guides were encouraging, knowledgeable and very patient. Food and accommodations were excellent and the trip experience making friends with the other guests makes this the best vacation I have ever taken.

My wife and I usually do trips on our own, but now realized that guided tours are the way to go! All the mistakes that you can make on your own were eliminated, and our guides had found some great attractions that we surely would have missed on our own.

Additional Arrival Information
We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA). From the airport, you can take the Bellair Airporter to Anacortes (we suggest making reservations by phone at 866-235-5247. See www.airporter.com for schedules). A one-way ticket costs $43 per person or $82 for a round trip.
Please note that the shuttle runs only four times each day, and it takes about two and a half hours to get to Anacortes (in Burlington, you will switch shuttles). In Anacortes, the shuttle can drop you off at the Shell Station in downtown Anacortes at 1312 Commercial Avenue. From here, it is a half mile to the Majestic Inn & Spa, where you will meet your guides on the first day of your trip. We recommend calling a taxi upon your arrival in Anacortes to take you and your luggage to the hotel of your choice.
If you choose to drive to Anacortes and need to leave a vehicle somewhere for the duration of the trip, we recommend parking it in the upper lot of the Anacortes Ferry Terminal Lot. The cost for the week is approximately $55. You must pay at one of the six electronic pay boxes with credit card before leaving the vehicle— parking spaces cannot be reserved in advance. After dropping off the car on the first day of the trip you should take a taxi to meet the group at the normal meeting location. On the last day of the trip, your guides can drop you and your luggage off at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal Lot to retrieve your vehicle.
Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Majestic Inn & Spa (419 Commercial Avenue, Anacortes, Washington) at 8:00 AM on the first day of the trip. Please come dressed in your cycling clothes with your riding gear easily accessible, separate from your luggage. Also in a separate bag from your main luggage, have a set of street clothes and shoes so you can easily change into them for the post-ride ferry crossing. Your guides will acquaint you with your bike and ensure you a comfortable fit before setting out on today’s ride.
If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. If you cannot reach them, please call our first hotel, the Lakedale Resort (360-378-2350), and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details. Taxis are available to the Washington State Ferry Terminal in Anacortes to meet the group. You will need to be at the ferry terminal no later than 11:30 AM in order to meet your guides and board the ferry. If you are unable to make it to the ferry terminal by 11:30 AM check the current ferry schedule ( www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedule, look for the summer sailing schedule) for departures to Friday Harbor. You may call your guides or the Lakedale Resort to arrange transportation from the ferry landing.
Additional Departure Information
After a short ferry from Orcas Island, you will say farewell to your guides at 12:15 PM** at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. From here, we recommend reserving a ticket with the Bellair Airporter for transportation to the Sea-Tac Airport (we suggest making reservations by phone at 866-235-5247. See www.airporter.com for schedules). The cost is $43 per person, one-way (or $82 for a round-trip ticket from the airport). Your guides can help you find the Airporter pickup location at the ferry. The Airporter shuttle has a 1:05 PM departure time on our last day that arrives at Sea-Tac Airport at 3:45 PM - we recommend booking this shuttle unless you plan on spending more time in Anacortes. Please allow adequate connection time for any ongoing travel to accommodate possible traffic delays. **Please note that these times may shift by approximately 30 minutes either way depending on the ferry and Airporter schedules.

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Anacortes, Washington
Anacortes is the working heart of the San Juan Islands and is well-known as the home of the Washington State Ferry Terminal, serving the San Juan Islands as well as Victoria, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. It is located on Fidalgo Island and enjoys a milder, drier climate than other locations in the Pacific Northwest due to the rain shadow effect of the Olympic Mountains to the west. Take some time to visit nearby Mount Erie, Washington Park, or Deception Pass State Park. (If you are in downtown Seattle and need to get to Anacortes to meet the group for the trip start, you can still use the Bellair Airporter. Airporter shuttles depart from the Washington State Convention Center in downtown. Call 866-235-5247 or visit www.airporter.com to make arrangements.) We recommend the following accomodations for your pre-trip hotel:

This bed & breakfast offers comfortable rooms and a delicious breakfast each morning. Take some time to explore this historical waterfront town with boutique shops, art galleries, sunset and dinner boat cruises, and locally sourced cuisine. www.wildiris.com

City highlights include Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of Flight and the Seattle Aquarium. Or, venture out to one of the three National Parks located within a one to three hour drive from Seattle—Mount Rainier National Park, North Cascades National Park, and Olympic National Park. We recommend the following accommodations for your post-trip hotel:
