The San Juan Islands, off Washington State and British Columbia
The San Juan Islands are located just off Washington State's coast north of Seattle and east of Victoria, British Columbia.
Sailing among the 172 named islands of the San Juans offers the chance to view pods of orcas feasting on salmon, seals and sea lions lounging on rocky islets and black bear and deer in deep evergreen forests.
The region also has the highest concentration of bald eagles in the Lower 48.
The San Juans are also dubbed the "Gourmet Archipelago" with culinary festivals, four shellfish farms, three vineyards, one brewery, one cidery/distillery.
AdventureSmith Explorations now offers three routes to cruise the San Juan Islands by small ship.
Its new cruise portfolio in the San Juans explores British Columbia & the San Juan Islands, for eight days, aboard the 100-guest National Geographic Quest.
The vessel is made for exploring coastal waters, shallow coves and fast-moving channels and,drawing only nine feet of water, she is able to sail into places where much larger ships cannot go.
