Skagit Wildlife Area
Journey north of Seattle to the Skagit Valley, home to over 300 species of birds throughout the year and one of the most incredible natural experiences in the state - the return of wintering migratory birds who flock to the rich farmlands to spend the winter in groups of tens of thousands. Bring your binoculars and spend the morning searching for waterfowl, shore birds, eagles, raptors and more who all congregate to take advantage of the mild winters of the Pacific Northwest.
Whidbey Island
Home to a wide span of ecosystems, history, and wildlife, Whidbey Island is a gem just north of Seattle. Shaped by it's military history, current and historic bases are located across the island, interspersed with rugged coastlines and beautiful beaches.
Deception Pass State Park
Deception Pass State Park reveals a hidden pocket of rugged wilderness and unbelievable history replete with smuggling and shipwrecks. We’ll take our time beachcombing the rocky shore and exploring the forested trails that wind around with views of the Salish Sea, all the while keeping our eyes peeled for marine wildlife like birds, seals, or otters. After lunch, if you're up for it, challenge yourself to walk across the 180 foot high bridge that spans the width of Deception Pass for an exhilerating experience and unbeatable views.
Fort Casey Historical State Park
Spend the afternoon exploring the diverse history of Whidbey Island, starting with a visit to a historic 120+ year old military fort complete with bunkers and batteries and the idyllic 127' Admirality Head Lighthouse.
Greenbank Farm
Whidbey Island's agricultural region is not to be missed. Learn about the cultural importance of Greenbank Farms (once the largest producer of loganberries in the state) to the community. Indulge in a tasting of locally made loganberry wine*, pick up a homemade pie from Whidbey Pies*, or puruse the collection of art from local makers found hanging among the red barn's walls. There is something for everyone at this destination. *Food and beverage purchases not included in the price of the tour.
Clinton
Return to the mainland via an iconic ferry ride across the Puget Sound (and maybe even catch a glimpse of the sunset over the water).
Seattle
Upon returning to Seattle, we’ll drop travelers off where we found them (or another preferred spot nearby).
