    Standing on the Deception Pass Bridge is one of those moments where you realize photos just can't…read morecapture how incredible a place really is. The bridge connects Whidbey Island and Fidalgo Island inside Deception Pass State Park, and the views are honestly breathtaking in every direction. The water below is this deep turquoise color, and when the tide is moving you can see the currents swirling through the pass. It's a little surreal looking down from the bridge -- you're about 180 feet above the water, and the cliffs, forest, and islands around you make it feel like something out of a movie. One thing I didn't realize until visiting is that it's actually two bridges, with a small island in between called Pass Island. You can walk across both bridges, and there are sidewalks on each side so you can stop and take in the views. It's definitely worth slowing down and just enjoying the moment. If you want to walk the bridge, most people park either at the small lot on the Whidbey Island side right before the bridge, or at pullouts and parking areas on the Fidalgo Island side. There are also bigger parking areas inside the park like Bowman Bay or West Beach if you want to explore trails or viewpoints nearby. Driving across the bridge itself is free, but if you park in the state park lots you'll need a Washington Discover Pass (about $10 for the day). If you can, try to go earlier in the morning or near sunset. The light hitting the water and cliffs makes the whole place feel even more magical. This is one of those places in Washington that really sticks with you. Whether you're walking the bridge, stopping for photos, or just watching the water rush through the pass below, it's absolutely worth the visit.

    Parking is very limited, cost $10 so you have to decide if it's worth for you to pay for it to…read moresimply walking across the bridge to enjoy the view or to hike down to the water. We weren't prepared nor planned to hike down when we visit in late August of 2025. It's definitely worthwhile for a quick stop, walk across the bridge and enjoy the view from there for a bit. It could be noisy since cars will be driving through while you stand still on the bridge. We spotted some seals or sea lions played in the water. We couldn't tell the difference from the bridge without the telescope.

We went on the trip with zero expectation and were present every moment of the journey - so anything outside that scope was an absolute bonus. If you want to experience an incredible time and I think your attitude will be your greatest asset on this trip. You have to remember just like we did that it is Mother Nature. Thank you for an amazing time Blake you made my wife's 60th birthday extremely special

We were also impressed with the Captain's professionalism and mariner expertise overall. We always felt safe and also appreciated a willingness to extend our trip time at no cost to ensure we found the Orca pods. The water was choppy on our day out, so we experienced the awesomeness of the Salish Sea as well as her beauty! Our two grandsons, age 12 and 14, really had fun. For all of us, the highlight of the trip was definitely seeing and hanging out with the two incredible Orca pods. It was memorable without compare. I was especially pleased that I was able to take some great video of the Orcas and wonderful photos of my grandchildren.

I've never been to the annual tulip festival, so did not know about this charming town. But I sure am glad we stopped by here. La Conner is a small town by the Swinomish Channel in Skagit County. It really has that waterfront charm to it, with small, local businesses that line down the main street, with patio dining that looks out to the dock and boats. There were many areas for public seating, with tables and chairs set up by the public boardwalk. I loved how historic the buildings are here! Much of the buildings have plaques that indicate its original purpose and the year it was established. We also walked behind the business centre of town where a residential area is, and loved the Victorian-style homes here. You just don't see many houses like that in urban areas, reminding you of that small town flavor. We are already planning to spend a weekend here sometime! Because of its tourism from the annual tulip festival, the town has some lodging options and fun activities for visitors and locals. Glad to have to stopped by this charming part of the state.

Attention to every detail from warm coffee mugs to fill our fresh coffee at 7am to gourmet lunches and dinners, and of course desserts. We had a wonderful time. Jon and Jette are the most gracious hosts, who now we consider friends. Jon keeping us safe and informed of the wildlife and sealife, but also taking us on hikes on islands only accessible by boat. Jette with her great sense of humor surprising us at every turn with a new talent from gourmet cooking, writing songs, playing her guitar and sharing her doodles are a few of the many talents she revealed to us. And then there is Geni, sweet Geni, their portugese water "boat" dog. We instantly fell in love and could not get enough of her. I don't now the last time I felt so relaxed and pampered. Thank you Jette and Jon for the wonderul memories! We are looking forward to returning next year! To anyone considering Sailing the San Juans - this is your charter! You will have the time of your life!

This is truly an adventure awaiting! If you have ever wanted to sail but don't know how, just leave the sailing, cooking, and swabbing of the decks to Jette and Jon. They love to help make wonderful memories for all of us, and do so graciously and kindly. So stop wondering and take the leap (sail). You will have a blast
