Trips for Teens, Adults & Families
What a trip! We had a wonderful time and I have told many about the adventure and encouraged them to take their grandkids. I have two granddaughters that I hope to take next summer. [L.J.F., Elderhostel Intergenerational participant, August 2007]
Don't miss the Elderhostel/Road ScholarPrograms!--See below for details.
Our Overnight Programs include Trips for Teens, Trips for Adults, and Trips for Families (scroll down for details). On all of these programs, we emphasize working together to sail the ship and learning about the environment of Puget Sound. (Note: In addition to our Overnight Programs, we offer special Member-Only Transits. Click here for more information.)
Information for All Overnight Programs
Trips depart from and return to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. Ferry transportation to and from Friday Harbor is not included in the cost of the trip. Click here for Friday Harbor travel tips. Check out the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau for more information on the Islands should you want to arrive early or stay longer.
No previous sailing experience is necessary. All meals are vegetarian and are included in the cost of the trip. We have a strictly enforced no-alcohol and no-smoking policy on board the ship.
Accomodations are dormitory style, with tiered bunks in the ship's two main cabins, so privacy is limited. There are 3 marine toilets (heads) but there are no showers on board. On our 5-day trips, we will typically stop for showers mid-way through the program. Click here for a Below Decks photo tour of the ship.
