San Juan Island Vacation

What’s up with the Ferries to San Juan Island?

What’s up with the Ferries to San Juan Island?

Taking the Washington State Ferry from Anacortes, WA to San Juan Island and Friday Harbor is so breathtakingly beautiful, it may just be worth a trip to the isle by itself. But what is up with all the crew shortages and cancelled trips this season? How difficult is it to get here?

Turns out not difficult at all.

Forget your Stress - Meet San Juan Island's adorable Alpacas

Serene, 80-acre Crystal Acres Alpaca Farm on your way to English Camp National Historical Park has a herd of about 70 alpacas, grazing under 100-year-old Gerry Oaks. The funny looking animals come in 22 natural colors; their hair is warmer than wool and softer than silk and they are cuter than a button. Stroll the farm and browse the country store, featuring Alpaca wool clothing, toys and wool.
