Deception Pass Tours

A few weekends ago, our family took a mini vacation to Whidbey Island. First, we stopped by the Deception Pass Bridge, walked across it and took pictures. The bridge is really high up so it was a little scary with the cars driving by. All that was protecting us on this bridge was three metals wires between the sidewalk and the road. After that, we went to the Visitor’s Center and bought tickets for the Deception Pass Tours. The tickets were $25 for adults and $21 for kids. The hour long tour was on a speedboat that went through Deception Pass and took us near some other islands, too. Once we got under the bridge, they played the 1980’s song “Danger Zone” and the boat started going really fast.

During the tour, we saw lots of kinds of birds, including the fastest bird in the world, the Peregrine falcon. We also saw some sea otters playing. We couldn’t see all the islands since it was too foggy but we got to spend more time looking at the animals. What I liked most about the trip was all the stories and mysteries of the islands told by the tour guide. If I had a choice of doing this tour again, I would.
