How do I get from Vancouver to San Juan Island - Friday Harbour?

You need to drive down through White Rock, then go through US Customs, go through Blaine, Bellingham until you see the exit for Anacortes. You should hire a car in Vancouver to do it, but make sure the company gives you the paperwork necessary to take it over the border.

Take the ferry there to San Juan Islands. You can visit and then take the ferry to Sidney (Victoria) from there if you wish. That ferry only leaves once a day right now.

It's pretty easy to do the reverse of what one answerer said, which is to ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, then head a few miles down to Sidney where the Anacortes ferry departs. It's first stop is Friday Harbor. Sidney is about 16 miles north of Victoria, a city well worth a visit. When you get to San Juan Island if you go over to te west side you can see how close Victoria is.

Drive to Anacortes and take the Washington State ferry from there.

You'l have to check with the car rental company about taking a rental car across the border.

The same ferry that goes from Anacortes to Friday Harbor also continues on to Sidney, which is a little way outside Victoria. But it only goes to Sidney once a day so if you want to stop over in Friday Harbor at all, it might have to be overnight.

You did not say when you're taking a kayak with you or no longer. feels like no longer. you do not have an excellent purchase of decision the following. the in reality ferry to San Juan leaves from Anacortes or from Victoria(Sidney, surely). you are able to fly from Vancouver on San Juan airways, yet you'll likely choke on the cost: $465. i do not imagine any transportation is going on to Anacortes from Vancouver yet buses flow to Bellingham and its airport, Amtrak is going to Mount Vernon, and there is community transportation to Anacortes(go back and forth buses) from those places.
