: Ride the Ferries

Washington State boasts the largest ferry fleet in the world.  These iconic boats ply various routes throughout the Puget Sound, connecting Seattle and points north to the islands and the Olympic Peninsula.

Anacortes serves as the departure point for the San Juan Islands and Sidney, BC ferries.  Either route is an absolutely beautiful journey through pristine waters.  Bring your camera:  in addition to rugged and picturesque vistas, there is a wealth of wildlife to see, including orca whales, eagles, sea lions, dolphins and a wide variety of sea birds.  Anacortes is the ideal home-port for ferry activity—a staging area for day-trips or a place to come back to after an overnight journey.
