Halcyon

Halcyon has been a dream of ours (Jennifer and Shane Aggergaard, owners of Island Adventures) for many years. This is the way we enjoy the San Juans with our own family and now we can share it with you.

Many people rent a yacht in the San Juans but don’t have the experience or knowledge to really take advantage of every opportunity. Captain Shane has spent nearly 20 years running tours in the San Juans and knows every nook and cranny. He also owns the largest independent whale watch company in Washington State, so yes, we will have lots of whale/wildlife information throughout your time on the boat.

Check out the photos and give us a call with any questions. All Halcyon tours are custom designed and personalized for your group. Let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll make your dream trip in the San Juan Islands come true.
