Expect to paddle for about four to five hours each day with additional time spent on the beach for rest and lunch. Evenings will find us camped on one of the smaller islands.

Friday Harbor is accessible by regularly scheduled air flights, tour boats, and ferries.
Most travel itineraries require passing through either Seattle, Vancouver, or Victoria.
From these cities, as well as Bellingham and Anacortes, you can easily connect with one of the many scheduled flights or sailings to Friday Harbor. Flight reservations on the small island carriers should be made far in advance during summer months. Ask about money-saving joint fare arrangements with the larger carriers.
