For the adrenaline junkies out there, you MUST visit Zip San Juan! An incredible way to view the islands from the sky, with the highest rated toured activity on the island! The San Juan Island Zip Tour has 8 ziplines (2 practice lines) and 1 suspension bridge. The first few ziplines will start out low and simple, with guests 10 – 20 feet off the ground. But once the tour journeys deeper into the forest, you’ll start seeing longer, higher and faster lines with one even riding over a lake. Although it’s pretty minimal, there is some small hiking (trail walking) in between some of the lines. But there are others in which participants will be traveling from tree to tree and land near the canopy on platforms 70 feet high. Great for families!
The San Juan Island Farmers Market was founded in 1987 by farmers on several of the San Juan Islands wishing to sell their products directly to the public. The market has since grown to around 35 vendors, including farmers, artists, crafters, food processors, service providers, and local community organizations. The primary purpose of the farmers market remains unchanged: The market exists to provide an outlet for agricultural products that are grown, harvested, or processed in San Juan County. The Market is open from 9:30am to 1pm Saturdays April-Oct!
