First they rescheduled us from Friday to Saturday but with a week's notice, that was fine. Then they rescheduled us to a week later because the pilot was out of the country. The day of our ride, they texted me two hours before our flight to say the pilot was stranded in Spain and they had to cancel. I was shocked that they didn't know earlier than two hours before our flight that the pilot wasn't available. They offered a discount to reschedule, but by that time I was so fed up trying to work with them that I cancelled and my husband's 80th birthday gift from me was completely spoiled.

Wow! Just wow! The flights to and from Friday Harbor from their location near Sea Tac were amazing!…read moreWhat a fun way to travel. We were flying low enough to see the scenery of the area including a good look at the Seattle skyline. There were some clouds so the mountain view was not as clear as it would be on a sunny day. Didn't really matter since there was so much else to see. Shane was the pilot both flights and he is very experienced and safety conscious. He also knows a tremendous amount about the area. That was an added bonus. Highly recommend this method of travel!

We got stuck in Seattle and missed our original transportation by car and ferry but Friday Harbor Seaplanes came to our rescue. Michelle was absolutely amazing and got us booked on the first flight out the following morning so we didn't waste another moment of our trip. She arranged a shuttle to pick us up at the hotel we booked which was also quite the task as many hotels were completely booked up but we finally found one and Friday Harbor Seaplanes accommodated us and got us to the airport and flew us in to Orcas Island. I was really impressed by our pilot and how well he flew the plane. I was a bit nervous and I tend to get motion sickness and he made the flight very enjoyable and even checked in with me during the flight to see how I was feeling. I felt he took slight turns a bit more slow and careful with me in mind and it was very appreciated. My friend also had her baggage delayed by Delta Airlines for 2 days and Michelle was so kind to try and help us by arranging for the airport to deliver the luggage to them so they could bring it to the Friday Harbor dock on one of their daily flights. Unfortunately Delta was being lame and they wouldn't do it, but the fact that Friday Harbor Seaplanes was willing to help us went above and beyond our expectations. What amazing customer service! I hope to one day visit the islands again and without a doubt I will use Friday Harbor Seaplanes again. They treated us like family!! Thank you! I wholeheartedly recommend this business. They are all great people and do an excellent job!

If you're looking for a unique outdoor experience definitely give tree canopy climbing a try! This…read morewas a great way to get a physical workout with a beautiful view of the Deception Pass area. Having no climbing experience, I thought it was challenging but fun and totally do-able. Besides skydiving, this was my second favorite activity so far in Washington. The session kicks off with a safety overview and a practice climb up 30 feet before moving onto the next tree. Depending on the pace of your group, you could climb up to 3 trees in one session. At no point do you feel any pressure to have to climb all the way to the top. You can stop anytime and just "hang out" or descend to the ground. The guides are very helpful and patient. The equipment is checked multiple times to ensure everyone's safety. Make sure to bring some snacks, water, and a camera. You might get lucky and spot some bald eagles like we did.

If the boat was experiencing engine issues, and the company and captain was aware that guests had booked a MONTH in advanced why was this issue not fixed the day before or the week before?

The Boeing Future of Flight Factory Tour is 43 miles from the SEA-TAC airport. I looked forward to…read morethis factory tour for years!!! Short version: So disappointed. Long version: The tour starts in a modest theater where you watch a 10-min video how William Boeing started out. This part was 5-stars! Next, you board a gorgeous luxury-style bus for a 5-min ride over to Hanger 5. The host speaks briefly about Boeing facts. The bus was also 5-stars! Exit the bus, down a flight of stairs to a freight elevator, then to a 3rd floor landing that overlooks the Hanger 5 assembly area. Here the host talks about the different areas of the hanger where you can see 5 planes in different states of assembly. Also, you see a variety of parked carts that support the fuselage as well as miscellaneous bins, mechanical braces, and worker pathways. Why the tour was so disappointing was because there was absolutely nothing going on. No action, no assembly. No fuselage being lowered in to place, no wings being attached, no components being shuffled around, nothing. I saw about 8-10 Boeing factory staff walking around. When asked, "Where are all the workers?" I was told they are all inside the fuselage of the plane. Hmmm. My tour was at 10am on a weekday. I really hoped this was not all of the tour. I anticipated we could at least walk the factory floor behind a secured fence of some sort to get a sense of scale of the planes close up. NOPE. No factory floor walk. After about 10-15 minutes, back in the freight elevator, up the stairs, in to the 5-star bus and thank you for coming. A History or Discovery Channel documentary on Boeing would provide you a more rewarding experience. What was insult to injury was the lack of accurate information from the hosts. When asked why planes don't fly faster compared to earlier jets, the response was, "the human body can't take the additional forces to fly faster". Interesting, but WHAT??!!. Through my own research the 777 (being built in Hanger 5) flies at 560 mph for optimal fuel efficiency, has a top speed of 682 mph, and can withstand 700 mph with a tailwind. Back in the 1970s, the Concord flew at Mach 2 or 1,350 mph and bodies did not explode...not...even...one. Hmmm, and this tour is called the "Future" of Flight. Boeing, please have your tour hosts provide legitimate information and a "factory" tour would terrific too! Total score for the Boeing Future of Flight Factory Tour: 2 Stars. (Photo below from a Google search, very accurate) P.S. Boeing has another attraction that may be more rewarding, the Boeing Museum of Flight in Tukwila, WA. Like the Boeing Future of Flight Factory Tour, nothing here is moving either but their many planes parked and suspended from the ceiling, and there is much to view and experience. Also, because it is near the SEA-TAC airport, you can watch planes take off and land from the roof of the Boeing Museum of Flight. I wish I went here instead.

Seattle skyline, Mount Rainier, and the surrounding islands we were able to see so clearly on this beautiful hot day. The ferry's name comes from the word wenatch in the Yakama laguage, which means "river flowing from canyon". Such a wonderful experience so glad we had perfect weather and the best company to enjoy the day with.
