Plan your ferry trips well, as they are always booked over the summer (buy your tickets ahead of time), and you’ll end up waiting longer than anicipated for a boat ride. But it’s well worth it.

The Islands are the Candian side of Washington’s San Juan Island chain, but completely different in feeling. There IS such a thing as Island Time, and you’ll get the hang of it quickly! I prefer to tour the islands by boat and there are loads of marinas to moor at, but if you take your car and stay at one of the many B&Bs, you won’t be disappointed!
