Road Scholar has thousands of educational adventures to choose from. A good way to narrow down our list is to browse our collection of "Most Popular" programs.

EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
Navigate the Northwest’s waterways by ferry and experience three idyllic Pacific Coast communities along its shores. Our port to port explorations begin in the bustling Emerald City of Seattle and journey north to Victoria, BC, a coastal city tamed by British charm, then on to picturesque Friday Harbor, San Juan Island. Along the way we’ll uncover a unique cultural resonance that weaves together these waterside communities and look ahead to what the future holds for these three spectacular Northwest locales.



Highlights

• Experience Seattle past and present at visits to the Pike Place Market and the iconic Hiram Chittenden Locks, and a stunning new cultural history museum on the shore of Lake Union.
• Immerse yourself in botanical beauty and indulge in Afternoon Tea at the original family residence within the spectacular Butchart Gardens.
• On San Juan Island, experience its scenic natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and the unique island lifestyle in the one of the nation’s newest National Monuments.
