Hop on the San Juan Clipper in the morning for a scenic ride from downtown Seattle’s Pier 69 to the seaside town of Friday Harbor. Soak in stunning views as you clip past the magnificent Cascade Range and glide under historic Deception Pass.
Upon arrival, wander the town’s picturesque streets and grab a bite to eat downtown or rent a moped or bicycle and cruise around the peaceful, quaint town of Roche Harbor. Cap your day by grabbing a local brew at San Juan Island Brewing or check out these other ideas:

"I would recommend the Clipper ferry from Seattle to Friday Harbor to anyone trying to decide between it and the state ferry out of Anacortes. Not only are they more convenient, but the ride is more enjoyable."
