We recommend flying into Seattle-Tacoma Int’l Airport. After arriving in Seattle, there are several options to get to the Resort.

Drive & Ferry

If you plan to arrive by car, the best option is to take the ferry that disembarks from Anacortes, WA to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. After arriving in Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor is a short, 20-minute drive through rural farmland and forests. Total trip from Seattle to Roche Harbor takes about 3 hours.

Be sure to check the ferry schedule to find out what options you have for the trip over to the island.

MAKE A RESERVATION IN ADVANCE TO ENSURE YOUR PREFERRED SAILING TIME. Ferry reservations for the summer months are released in mid-April.

Also, keep in mind that you don’t want to miss the boat, so be sure to show up at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time so as not to lose your reserved space.

Parking at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal

During the summer months the ferry wait on weekends can be two hours or more, so many people decide to drive to the Anacortes ferry terminal, park at the terminal, and then walk on to the ferry. Shuttles and taxis run throughout the day from Friday Harbor to Roche Harbor.

Seaplane

Several companies offer regularly scheduled flights from all over the Northwest to Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. Kenmore Air is the only one to fly regularly scheduled services from Seattle directly to our resort, and also flies into Friday Harbor. San Juan Airlines offers daily scheduled service to Roche Harbor Airport and Friday Harbor from Bellingham and Anacortes.
