Adventure Series to Olga, Orcas Island

In 2025, we launched a seasonal Adventure Series designed to help people get outside and explore our beautiful backyard at an economical fare. Most Adventure Series trips are just $45 roundtrip for adults (a 50% savings from our standard fares), making non-ferry served island access more attainable for our community.

Our Adventure Series focuses on creating space for people to connect with the natural world: hiking island trails, picnicking on remote beaches, visiting marine state parks, and enjoying bird and wildlife observation through a “create your own adventure” format.

These trips are self-guided experiences - we provide the ride and the access, and you set the pace and plan your day. There’s no formal guide on site, giving you the freedom to explore the island on your own terms and craft an adventure that’s entirely your own.

Saturday, May 9th, step ashore at the county dock in Olga and enjoy one of Orcas Island’s most charming waterfront, historical stops. Everything is an easy stroll away, making it the perfect relaxed outing. Visit the historic Olga Store for coffee, provisions, and local goods. For more than 100 years, this historic store has served as the heart of Olga, originally supporting the area’s early farming and strawberry growing families. For a true outdoor island dining experience, sit waterfront to savor the fresh shellfish and seafood at the Buck Bay Shellfish Farm.  And don’t miss the beautiful handcrafted pieces at Olga Pottery. With scenic views of Buck Bay and a laid-back island vibe, Olga is a delightful way to experience Orcas Island!

The boat will depart Skyline Marina at 11am with a 30-45 minute travel time to the island. The boat will pick up at Orcas Island at 4pm to return to Skyline Marina.
