Staying at the Tucker House Inn and Harrison House suites, guests have a couple of fun activities to engage themselves in. The staff at the Inn are always ready to guide you and suggest places for fun activities.
Kayaking
Kayaking and paddling are available for interested guests. A vacation at St. Juan Islands is not complete without Kayaking in the waters of the Pacific.
If you do not have experience kayaking, you should sign up for a tour guide. There are dozens of kayak outfitters to book with.

Wine Tasting
A bit of wine makes everything better. A vacation/getaway to St. Juan Island is more fulfilling with wine tasting. Vineyards and wineries on the Island organize wine tastings. From sweet white wines to bold red wines and natural sparkling to tease and satiate your palates, vineyards, and wineries on the Island
Coho Restaurant
Fine dining remains one of the highlights of a great vacation. There are over 30 restaurants within a few miles of the Inn. Coho Restaurant is a block away from the Inn, serving fresh local seafood and some of the best steaks. Meals at the restaurant are farm-to-table to support local farmers. The restaurant prepares every meal from scratch and has one of the finest wine collections from California, Oregon, and some international producers.
You can book a reservation for private dining. The restaurant also offers off-site catering for events.
The Whale Museum
The first fascinating thing about the Whale Museum is the mural of swimming whales on the wall.
Upon entering the museum and climbing to the upstairs section, you feel transported to the bottom of the ocean, with painted undersea plants and orcas around you.
Do you know the natives of the Island consider orcas their ancestors? They believe they were the first to settle on the Island.
A visit to the Whale Museum takes you back in history. There is a collection of Whalebones and skeletons from the grey Whale to humpbacks and orcas. You can also listen to recorded Whale songs caught on hydrophones.
Events and Nuptial Packages
The Inn’s location off the pacific coast is perfect for celebrating birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other special events.

Tucker House Inn and Harrison House suites make destination weddings a reality. You can hire planners on the Island to take care of everything, from decorations to catering.
