We know that Orcas Island is not an easy place to get to, so we are grateful to everyone traveling to celebrate with us! Travel ✈️ The best option is to fly into Seattle and rent a car so you can get to the ferry terminal in Anacortes (plan for a 2-hour drive). *We recommended driving onto the ferry so you have a car on the island. Public transport on Orcas is extremely limited, maybe nonexistent with COVID.* Other options include direct flights to the island, shuttles from Seattle Airport to Anacortes, and walk-on ferry options. Lodging 🏨 We recommend staying in Deer Harbor. It is roughly a 20 min drive from the ferry terminal. Most of our guests are staying at the Deer Harbor Inn or close by. Ferry Info ⛴ This is the most challenging part of getting to Orcas. Please prioritize this. More ferry reservations will open on May 13th. The link is below. Food 🥘 There are grocery stores and restaurants on the island. You can also buy food before getting on to the island.
