San Juan Is., WA-side trip advice

[obie]

Oooh! We did a loaded bike and ferry tour from Seattle to Victoria via Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Penninsula, Whidbey Island, and Lopez and San Juan Island. That was in 2006. We loved it!

One thing we really enjoyed was doing a kayak tour off the west coast of San Juan Island. We used San Juan as a "day off" so we didn't cover too many of the roads. But I do recommend the kayaking, even though we didn't end up seeing the Orca. We did ride over to the lavender farm, which was nice.

We brought binoculars in our handlebar bags and had a field day seeing so many Bald Eagles!

That was a great trip.

Hey shootingstar, when will you be on Vancouver Island?

DH and I plan to be there from Weds June 25th - Sat June 28*, and we'll be staying in Sydney. We're bringing our bikes and plan to do lots of riding around the Saanich peninsula.

Interesting! Jobob, we arrive on bike, at our Sanich hotel on Sat. June 28 in probably morning . We will be leaving home from downtown Vancouver....and start cycling..I believe it's 4:30 am. We've done this several times....to catch 7:00 am ferry at Twaassen bound for Sannich.

Our original plan was to cycle to Cowichan Valley area for a lovely lunch, maybe buy some wine at a winery along the way. Return probably by mid-late afternoon to same hotel in Saanich.

When do you leave Saanich/fly out of Victoria or somewhere else? You can PM me.
