Airport Rental Car Companies

The easiest way to get to (and around) Orcas Island is via rental car and ferry. It's a 2-ish hour drive to the Anacortes Ferry terminal and a 1 hour gorgeous ferry ride from there. Don't worry - driving on to the ferry is a breeze!

Travel Note

Seattle Airport Shuttle

A public shuttle bus from Sea-Tac Airport to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal is an alternative option to renting a car. You will take the shuttle to the ferry terminal and walk on to the ferry. Once you arrive at the Orcas Island ferry terminal you will need to take a shuttle bus or taxi to Eastsound (or wherever you are staying). For more information go to www.orcashuttle.com.
