## Daily Itinerary

### Day 1

Fly into Seattle Washington, where a hearty lunch welcomes you to the Pacific Northwest before settling into your hotel. **Silver Cloud Hotel - Mukilteo Waterfront (L)**

### Day 2

Step aboard your private vessel and sit down to a decadent cracked Dungeness crab luncheon (non-seafood options available). Soon we are cruising the sparkling waters of the Salish Sea, the body of water that includes the San Juan Islands and all of Puget Sound. Your captain will choose the day’s route based on wildlife sightings – keep your camera ready for seals, porpoises, bald eagles and perhaps even orca whales. The day concludes at Friday Harbor, a picturesque port town on San Juan Island. **Friday Harbor Suites – 2 nights (FB,L)**

### Day 3

Once again, our route is guided by the latest wildlife reports, so each day on the water offers something new. Keep watch for marine life as we cruise to La Conner, a colorful waterfront community filled with art galleries, boutique shops, cafés and a charming boardwalk. Stroll at your leisure before returning to Friday Harbor for a hosted dinner. **(FB,D)**

### Day 4

This morning, a motorcoach tour takes you around San Juan Island, stopping at historic sites, scenic overlooks and the exclusive Roche Harbor Resort, where luxury meets coastal charm. Back on board the boat, enjoy a hosted lunch as we navigate narrow passages and drift past uninhabited islands before returning to the mainland. **Silver Cloud Hotel -Mukilteo Waterfront (FB,L)**

### Day 5

Enjoy lunch before your return flight home, carrying memories of island sunsets, charming harbors and days well spent on the open water. **(FB,L)**
