dventure cruising at its best. Join us on our newest destination cruise through Washington State's natural maze of islands, coves, inlets, bays and waterways. A year-round playground, thanks to the ever-moderate climate, this is a favorite of world-class sea kayakers and private boaters. Once a mountain range, now an archipelago, the 100 million-year-old island chain features some of the most spectacular scenery in the Pacific Northwest. Depending on the tides, the San Juans number anywhere from 428 to 743 islands. Only 172 islands have received names including the four largest: Orcas, San Juan, Shaw and Lopez. World renowned for both the resident and migratory pods of orca whales, these islands teem with other wildlife. Bald eagles, the playful Dall's porpoise, blacktail deer, seal and otters are just some of the creatures you might spot on your kayaking adventures. Consider, too, the thousands of wonderful tidepools alive with colorful starfish and sea anemones, wind swept madrona trees clutching hillsides, plus charming inns and resorts, and it is easy to see why the San Juan Islands top the wish lists of kayakers the world over.
