FRIDAY FIELD TRIPS WITH THE CHAMBER: Bainbridge Adventures

BAINBRIDGE CHAMBER: What do you like most about operating a business on Bainbridge Island?

BAINBRIDGE ADVENTURES: I genuinely love showing people the island. There’s something special about seeing Bainbridge through a visitor’s eyes and watching them fall in love with the same forests, farms, and quiet corners we enjoy every day. Every tour feels personal. We get to meet people from all over the world, share our favorite local makers and hidden spots, and give guests a real sense of what makes this community so unique. It’s incredibly rewarding.

BAINBRIDGE CHAMBER: What are the greatest challenges you face?

BAINBRIDGE ADVENTURES: The biggest challenge is keeping everything running smoothly during the ups and downs of the tourism season. Weather, ferry timing, and the rhythm of the island all shape how each day unfolds. Behind the scenes there is a lot of planning and coordinating to make sure every tour feels easy for our guests, even when the logistics are a bit tricky. We care a lot about the experience, so we put in the extra effort to make it feel seamless.

BAINBRIDGE CHAMBER: What would you like the community to know about Bainbridge Adventures?

BAINBRIDGE ADVENTURES: Bainbridge Adventures is more than sightseeing. We create experiences that connect people to the true heart of the island and support the local businesses that make this place so special. Every tour brings guests to our wineries, farms, makers, and landmarks, helping the whole community thrive. We’ve had the pleasure of hosting groups from the University of Washington football team, Amazon, Google, Studio AM Design team, and many other well-known companies. It’s an honor to introduce them to Bainbridge and to watch them light up as they discover the island’s forests, flavors, and stories. From quiet walks in the woods to exploring Bloedel Reserve and visiting the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, our goal is to create moments that stay with people long after their visit.
