Olympic National Park Day Tour from Seattle

Dianne_W, Aug 2026

Day on the Olympic Peninsula

Kevin showed us a number of beautiful sites on the Olympic Peninsula. The hike to Marymere Falls was a scenic after lunch hike. Lake Crescent was beautiful. Kevin kept us entertained with Sasquatch tales and other Washington state highlights. Loved rock scrambling at Salt Creek SP.

The tour was absolutely...

The tour was absolutely amazing! William is a great tour guide as he is very knowledgeable and funny. He took our group to see some incredible views of the National Park and he helped make it a tremendous experience! I definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting the Seattle area.

Wonderful hiking trip with Cyrus!

We had an amazing experience hiking Mount Rainier with Cyrus as our tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kept everyone entertained with his great sense of humor throughout the day. He was punctual for pick-up, a safe and skilled driver, and even went above and beyond by offering to drop us off at different locations afterward, which was greatly appreciated. Cyrus also shared interesting history and facts about Mount Rainier, making the trip both fun and educational. He was always happy to take photos for us, making sure we captured some wonderful memories from the hike. Overall, Cyrus exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We will definitely book with Cyrus again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable Mount Rainier experience!

No Regrets

My favorite way to grasp the basic layout of the downtown area and some interesting History. The 1 hr duration is easy to squeeze into your day, and leaves one ready for more. I have been on this cruise at least four different times in 20years. Comfortable seating too.

AnneSophie_W, Aug 2026

Fun, quick and unexpected

We wanted an activity that we had not already done in a prior trip, did not require a huge time commitment or traveling out of downtown. The tour is pretty quick -quite a few steep stairs and small spaces - and full of fun facts about Seattle that will stay with you and make you see the city with new eyes. Guides are fun and knowledgeable.

Seattle nature afternoon hike.

This was a great trip to the Falls. We learned a great deal about the soqaumi falls area. It is a moderate with climbs that require a decent physical health and shoes. The guide was excellent and very experienced. The excursions was about 5 hours long with food beverage and restroom stops. Trails are rocky and require good footwear.

The 12 pm chef. Didn't show up

We had a 12 pm time. No one showed up and a person in our group called. WILL, showed up and was very apologetic. He was great and handled 24 people. Because of him we had a great time. I am sorry to say that, Viator failed, us with no communication. Some kind of refund should happen. We were told prior to Will, that we should cancel.

Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour from Seattle

Jill_H, Aug 2026

My brother and I did this...

My brother and I did this tour as part of our Seattle visit and got more than we expected. Mehrdad navigated the falls as well as several Seattle attractions (a bonus!) with ease. He offered transport to Woodinville wineries of interest but we opted to stay at Chateau St. Michelle and walk to the whiskey distillery. It was so nice to have a knowledgeable and courteous guide!

Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle

Wai_Y, Jul 2026

It was great to be picked...

It was great to be picked up just a few minutes away from our hotel, as we didn't want to rent a car during our trip in Seattle. Our guide, Ken, was waiting for our group at the designated spot. Before we headed off, Ken went over the flow of the day, including the rest stops we'd make and the itinerary in Mount Rainier. During the ride, we learned lots of fun facts about the city. We stopped at a supermarket midway to purchase food items and to use the restroom. Restroom stops are available every 60-90 minutes or so. The trip to Mount Rainer included many scenic stops and nature talks from Ken. The lengthiest stop was the one in Paradise, where we had about an hour and a half for lunch, some hiking, and checking out the gift shop. We also made another stop to check out more sights and visited a snack shop for ice cream. All in all, we enjoyed this trip to Mount Rainier. We appreciated that all the planning was done for us, and in a thoughtful manner. And of course, a shout out to Ken for going above and beyond to make our trip a comfortable and memorable one.

Good First Visit to Olympic National Park

Communicate early with your tour guide. Xander was a safe driver and organized once we were on the tour, but changed the pickup time the night before while we’re were already in bed after traveling from an eastern locale. He then called twice and woke us up. We appreciate that he notified us, but I had to reschedule my Lyft ride in the middle of the night to accommodate the new pickup time. A rough start to our first full day in Seattle. We truly loved the Hurricane Ridge and rain forest hike along Crescent Lake. More information regarding local lore, flora and fauna would be appreciated. Overall a wonderful Olympic experience.
