The whole process was very enjoyable and enabled us to easily access a remote campsite we normally would not have considered. Captain Bill is very helpful and friendly, and clearly loves helping people explore the islands. We'll be back!" Gregory Wolgamot, MD PhD - Bellingham, WA

Then we discovered Leap Frog. Just a short taxi ride from the Bellingham airport to the Cruise Terminal and we were on our way to Lopez Island.The ride was quick, comfortable and fun. Leap Frog made what was the hardest part of our trip something we now enjoy." Diane Farineau - Charlottesville, VA
