Father’s Day on San Juan Island

June is packed with fun activities on San Juan Island and is a perfect way to spoil Dad with a surprise island getaway. Explore the isle and its astonishing artists at the self-guided Artist Studio Tour in early June. Go to a comedy show at Madrona Cellars’ lovely outdoor patio, right across the street from our Bird Rock Hotel. Celebrate Summer Solstice and our endangered killer whales with the beautiful Orca Sing event at the Whale Watching Park in the end of June. Here a few more extraordinary ideas on how to really make Dad’s day:

Golfing

San Juan Golf & Tennis Club on stunning Griffin Bay with views of Mount Baker features a beautifully manicured 9-hole golf course with alternating tee boxes that convert into a long and challenging 18-hole experience. Rental clubs and carts are available. Treat Dad to a round of golf with a view.

Massage

Book Dad a massage treatment at the cute Spa at Earthbox, to relax those sore muscles, work through that old injury and make him feel like a million bucks.

Guided Kayak Tour

Our friends at San Juan Outfitters offer the first sunset bioluminescent kayak tours right around Father’s Day. Here in the Salish Sea, the bioluminescence is most active after hot and sunny days and is most visible during the new moon. Treat Dad to this once-in-a lifetime adventure.

Wine & Dine Dad

There are over two dozen eateries in walking distance to our Bird Rock Hotel. Spoil Dad with a fresh seafood dinner and handcrafted cocktails overlooking the harbor. Have ice cream at the docks or a sip of rare Scotch at the Oystertale for dessert.

Whale & Wildife Tour

Book a trip on San Juan Safari’s super-fast zodiac for an exhilarating , educational ride through the glistening Salish Sea in search of orcas, humpbacks with their new calves in tow, white sided dolphins and more.
