Things To Do
Lime Kiln Lighthouse
Set on a rocky bluff at the west end of San Juan Island, Lime Kiln Point is considered one of the best whale-watching spots on earth (and it's easy to get to!). Here, you can spot humpback and minke whales, spouting orcas, fin-slapping Gray whales and splashing porpoises. The pods pass through the area every May through September, with peak times depending on salmon runs. Visitors can see the action from a 1919-vintage lighthouse or from a nearby sea cliff.
Pelindaba Lavender Friday Harbor
This stunning lavender farm is free to explore with over 50 different varieties of lavender flowers growing. You can browse handcrafted products at their shops, hand-cut your own lavender bunches, or have a picnic and try their lavender flavored treats!
San Juan Kayak Expeditions
Explore the San Juans by water. Kayak tours are a great way to get adventurous, and, if you're lucky, get up close and personal with whales!
Western Prince Whale Watching
Explore the protected waters just north of Seattle and discover the islands’ abundant wildlife and spectacular beauty by boat! Western Prince Whale Watching is ideally located in the heart of the Salish Sea with premier access to an incredibly diverse ecosystem.
