Island Fun-Whidbey Island State Parks

Another favorite for locals and guests, Cheryl’s Northwest Tours LLC takes you on this private tour with just your group to this island.

Deception Pass is a water-passage at the opening of Puget Sound where the tides come in and out, bringing an abundance of life to the Puget Sound Region. During the tour, you’ll visit an historic military fort in Fort Casey State Park with it’s row buildings and cannons, and see the Admiralty Lighthouse. Because you’re on an island, you can see across Puget Sound to other islands too.

Cheryl’s Northwest Tours LLC will take you by a mussel farm and then drop you off for lunch on your own, wherever you want. Seafood, burgers, fish and chips, mussels and more abound in this small quaint town.. During the day and if the tide is out you will see mussels, barnacles, sea stars, seaweed, and more, right on the beach. Great Blue Heron enjoy this area too and you’ll love seeing these large blue/gray birds.

We stop where you can walk across the 180 foot high Deception Pass bridge and then go search for rocks on the beach. That’s a thing here, rock hunting! At the other end of the island, you’ll take a short ferry ride, then return to your destination. This is a very popular tour, so book your tour in advance. Check out our video on our website. That’s Cheryl driving.
