Journey north as the Seattle cityscape gradually gives way to the farmland of the Snohomish and Skagit Valleys. Before setting out on the water, guests have the opportunity to stretch their legs at Deception Pass State Park, a hidden gem that rivals national parks in both scenery and recreation. With its dramatic cliffs, swift currents and secluded coastlines, it's no surprise that Deception Pass is Washington's most visited state park. After enjoying a delicious picnic lunch, the tour continues to Anacortes, where guests board a wildlife and whale watching vessel for a three-hour adventure across channels and bays in search of whales and other marine life.
