We would love nothing more than to recommend a trip to Whidbey Island and Camano Island for your Spring Break adventures. But since that isn’t possible right now (and we want every Washingtonian to stay home and healthy for future travels), the least we can do is offer the next best thing. The team at Whidbey and Camano Islands Tourism has put together a wonderful virtual vacation series to help you learn more about this beautiful area and (almost) feel like you’re there. And you just might see a few things there that you wouldn’t even experience on a real visit.
Both Whidbey Island and Camano Island are located in Island County in Northwest Washington.

Both islands rely on tourism to survive, hosting numerous events and festivals each year.

Luckily, you can still explore the islands and take in their rugged beauty virtually.
whidbeycamanoislands.com The sights, sounds, and even some flavors of Whidbey and Camano Islands are temporarily available through digital tours and recipes.
There are already some wonderful virtual tours and interviews on the site, with more topics being added twice weekly, on Monday and Friday mornings.

The tour kicks off with a whale watching experience in Puget Sound where you’re guaranteed to get up-close-and-personal with these amazing creatures.

After numerous stops, including an interview with renowned artist Georgia Gerber, you’ll wind up at Camano Island Honey, where you’ll meet the Bee Lady.
