There are many things to see and do in Deer Harbor. Wildlife sightseeing cruises, whale watching, fishing, water taxi or skippered day sail and boat trips are popular. Boat rentals are available. Or, enjoy the island on two wheels! Rent a bicycle at Deer Harbor Marina and let the fun begin.
The easiest way to get to Deer Harbor is via ferry boat from Anacortes. While getting a spot on the ferry with your car during the peak summer months may require a 2-4 hour wait, the restrooms are clean and the crowd is friendly. Bring a few snacks and a good book. Watch the ferry arrival and departure times to avoid any last minute itinerary changes – particularly from October to May when late night sailings are not an option. |
