Guidebook for Olga
Food Scene
Doe Bay, in addition to being the island's premier organic dining spot (romantic views overlooking the bay), is also an amazing spa. Come soak at the (clothing optional) baths. Wake up early and get some privacy in the spa, then pop over to the cafe for a bruschetta, or a gourmet (yet affordable!) scramble.
Good live music on weekends, too!
Doe Bay hosts a kayak/water exploration outfit from which you can rent a kayak or sign up for a guided tour of the Sound.

Parks & Nature
It's only a five-minute walk to Moran State Park from the house. The park features a network of trails that radiate around the nearby Mount Constitution. Perhaps best of all is the lake - warm and swimmable. During summer months you can rent a kayak or paddleboat to explore it hourly.

No stay on Orcas is complete without a trip to the summit of Mount Constitution. If it's clear outside, either hike or drive your way up to witness panoramic views of the Puget Sound.
The watchtower on the summit grants the best views and, build during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps, is a piece of local history.
