Welcome to the first day of your San Juan Islands bike tour! Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Majestic Inn & Spa at 8:00. After a quick 15-minute private shuttle, you'll arrive at Washington Park, on the western edge of Fidalgo Island, where your Trek Travel guides will do a short round of introductions before familiarizing you with your Trek bike and making sure you have a comfortable fit. Then, it's into the saddle for today’s warm-up ride with views of brilliant blue waters and snow-capped Mount Baker shimmering in the distance. Today's ride ends at the Washington State Ferry Terminal where you will gather for a one hour cruise to San Juan Island, your home for the night. Enjoy a boxed lunch as you take in the sights and sounds of your first ferry crossing. Upon arrival, you'll have a chance explore the charming and historic town of Friday Harbor. After settling into your room at the beautiful Lakedale Resort, you'll regroup for drinks, appetizers, and a locally-sourced farm-to-table barbeque dinner cooked right onsite. This evening, you will hear about all the fun and adventure in store for you in the days ahead. You'll cap the night with delicious s'mores sitting around the campfire as you dream of your week ahead.

Overview

Enjoy a leisurely start with a delicious breakfast as you enjoy the quiet morning sounds of Lakedale. Set out with your group today as you pass False Bay, a popular photo spot where the brilliant blue waters contrast stunningly with distant, snow-capped peaks. If you crave more miles for the day, add on a visit to the the southernmost tip of the island and Cattle Point, to bask in the stunning views of the Olympic Mountain Range and the lighthouse here that overlooks the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Continue to pedal through green farmland spotted with red barns and golden straw bales. Your ride ends back at your resort to enjoy a famous Trek Travel picnic. This evening the group will gather for dinner overlooking the harbor at one of our favorite local restaurants.

You'll trade bicycles for kayaks this morning and explore the pristine inlets and rocky coves along this beautiful coastline. If you're lucky, you may see harbor seals who bed off nearby Henry Island. After your adventure on the waves, it's back to dry land for a cafe lunch in scenic Roche Harbor and another relaxing afternoon ride past Lime Kiln State Park. Visitors here often witness pods of resident orcas feeding in the kelp beds just offshore and you can learn more about these enigmatic creatures by visiting the lighthouse research center. This afternoon, choose to indulge in a lazy afternoon enjoying Lakedale's 40 acres of water on a paddleboard or swimming at one of many beaches. Or, head into Friday Harbor to discover the art galleries and perhaps check out the whale museum. Your guides will have plenty of suggestions for dinner this evening in Friday Harbor.

This morning you will bid farewell to San Juan Island as you ferry to Orcas Island and disembark in the waterfront village of Eastsound. Explore the quaint community before starting your ride to the west side of this horseshoe-shaped island. There you'll see the sparkling waters of President's Channel and the famed Orcas Island Pottery, a cooperative of local potters known for their classic and functional artwork and designs. From Orcas Island Pottery, cycle towards Eastound and then make your way back to the ferry landing. Here is where you will board a private boat charter for our transfer to Lopez Island. Enjoy lunch onboard. Along the way we'll likely encounter stunning scenery, seals, sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, and more! With an experienced captain and trained naturalists accompanying you, this journey will be one to remember. We disembark on Lopez Island, your home for the next two nights.

Enjoy these scenic pastoral roads as you loop back around to Lopez Village. Lunch today will be of your choosing in town. This evening, the group will gather to toast the week and newfound friends with a social hour at the hotel before enjoying a hearty and local dinner only minutes from our accomodations.

This morning’s ride is your last chance for a peaceful early-morning spin on Lopez Island.
