How to Use Transportation in the San Juan Islands

Tips and tricks for getting around the San Juan Islands. Did you walk on the ferry or arrive via plane or private boat? There are plenty of ways to get around Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Island without your car. 

San Juan Island has the most transportation options of all the islands if you're leaving your car behind. Arrange for a taxi to pick you up near the ferry, or enjoy scenic rides on the Friday Harbor Jolly Trolley. Make the ride an adventure by renting a moped or scoot coupe from Susie's Mopeds, or get in your workout for the day and rent bikes. 

Orcas Island offers a couple of transportation options for travelers on foot. To get from the ferry landing to Eastsound (the main village), you'll need to arrange a taxi or rent a car. Once in Eastsound, bike rentals are available.  

Check out Orcas Island Rental Car for convenient travel around the island. They offer year-round rental cars, mini-vans, convertibles, and 15-passenger vans. With prior coordination, they offer free pickup and return anywhere on Orcas Island. Try their famous CD audio tour to get a full experience of Orcas Island.

Lopez Island has the least amount of transportation options. Arrange for a taxi to pick you up near the ferry, or rent bikes. 

You can rent bikes from Edenwild Adventures and arrange to pick them up at the ferry landing.
