Who We Are

Barb & John

Why go with us?

Experience, maturity and lots of fun!

Barbara and John Jensen have made the San Juan Islands in Washington State their home for the past 17 years, and have been serving as tour guides in the Pacific Northwest for the past 20 years. Barbara still teases John that he is not quite yet a Washingtonian as he has only lived in the state for over 40 years and she has lived there all her life. Poor John. They do have fun together!
