While in port in Seattle, take a few hours to explore Bainbridge Island! Just a short ferry ride from the city, Bainbridge Island maintains a small-town Pacific Northwest feel, even though it's only a stone’s throw away from cosmopolitan Seattle. On this small-group tour by luxury mini-coach, admire the island’s abundance of sea, mountain and Seattle skyline views, and visit the island's historical landmarks. Your guide will stop to let you explore shops, beaches and monuments. Then, take the ferry back to Seattle – it's that easy!
This small-group tour is limited to 12 people, ensuring a more personalized experience.
When your cruise ship docks at the Seattle port, take an easy 15-minute walk to Pier 66 to board the ferry to Bainbridge Island. It is recommended that you catch the 1:10pm ferry from Seattle to make the 1:50pm tour time; or you can go earlier to enjoy the island on your own before the tour. Enjoy views of the Seattle skyline as you travel across Puget Sound on the 35-minute ferry ride.
Your tour starts when your guide picks you up at the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal. You'll first be taken to the quaint town of Winslow, known for its myriad of boutiques, restaurants, museums and wine-tasting rooms. You’ll have time at the end of the tour to explore more here.
As you circle the island, stop at some of the local attractions including the Bay Hay and Feed store, a country general store and garden center, and the new Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, which commemorates the first Japanese community forced into internment during World War II.
You'll be treated to stunning views of the Olympic Mountains, Cascade Mountains, the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound at every turn. At the end of the tour, you will be taken back to the ferry terminal. Make your own way back to Seattle by ferry when you’re ready!
