“Best two day Island tours ever! First full day trip to Cypress Island with seniors was spectacular! Everyone felt safe and challenged…with Steph in charge and so engaged. Second trip to Vendovi Island was all about the grandkids and “exploring.” No one was bored or out of sorts for even a second. Stephanie kept us all in thrall investigating the beautiful forest and glorious beaches!” Dale and Bill, Anacortes
