A Summer Dream: Cruising the San Juan Islands

Published by KC Dermody On May 11, 2017

The San Juan Islands are one of the Northwest’s most popular vacation destinations – often ranked among the top islands to visit on Earth.

One of the best ways to experience these lush gems surrounded by the glistening waters of the Salish Sea, is to take a cruise – it’s a summer dream come true, which is why this image is our photo of the week.

USA River Cruises offers this unforgettable experience, where you’ll have the chance to spot magnificent orca whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, porpoise, bald eagles, and much more.

The 8-day experience also includes a stop in the charming town of Friday Harbor on the largest island in the archipelago, San Juan Island, as well as beautiful Victoria, B.C., Port Townsend, Washington and other picturesque spots. Check it out here, and be sure to put this experience on your itinerary this summer.
