We had a wonderful experience on our Olympic National Park tour! Our guide Cyrus was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He picked us up at the designated location and thoughtfully prepared water, sandwiches, and bananas for everyone. He explained everything in great detail and shared lots of interesting information along the way. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed the entire trip. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Mt. Rainier Tour – Highly Recommend!

I had a wonderful day on this Mt. Rainier tour. Our guide who was from Denmark and moved to US 20 years ago was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-paced, the scenery was breathtaking, and I felt well taken care of throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Guided forest hike to Seattle waterfalls incl. Snoqualmie Falls

Beautiful hike - @500 ft of elevation gain w/ ups & downs

We enjoyed this outing which included a @2.5 mile moderately strenuous hike in a beautiful wooded area full of tall Douglas fir and western red cedars, a visit to the Snoqualmie waterfall which was a very short and easy walk on a paved path, and a quick stop at a gift shop/cafe run by the Snoqualmie people. The hike to the Twin Falls and back has an overall elevation change of about 500 ft. We started out along a river which was quite easy. Then we climbed an switchback trail with an incline to an observation point. I'm in just fair condition so I was panting a little on the steeper parts, but the guide gave ample times to rest. The hike then progressed down another switchback trail about halfway down th hill, then had some ups and downs with a final long incline to the top of the falls. My wife (who is in better shape than me) did the whole hike and didn't think it was too difficult. I chose to wait at the first observation platform to take her picture by the falls. Then I went back to the river area to wait for the group to return. We were both happy with our choices. Even though I didn't do the full hike I still enjoyed being out in the woods and seeing the falls. I spotted several types of mushrooms and ferns which were very interesting.

Ask for Claire

We had the most wonderful day with a young lady named Claire. She picked us up at our hotel on time and had three other people in our group - so it was a very small group which we enjoyed. It was a wonderful drive to Mt. Rainier and Claire is an excellent driver. We went to several stops, saw waterfalls, monster trees, fungi, glaciers, and some wildlife. One of the stops we had coffee and tea and fresh pumpkin bread. We also had a picnic lunch, which was provided that was excellent. We chose this trip based on other reviews and so glad we did. It was a little more expensive than some of the others, however, it was the only one that offered pickup and drop off from our hotel. It also offered lunch and snacks and drinks. To us it was so worth the extra dollars. Claire is the best!

Great day trip seeing park highlights

This was a great way to experience the park with a limited time schedule. Our tour guide, Erika, was wonderful and helped us maximize our time in the park on a busy fall weekend. We stopped for photos, saw multiple waterfalls, got our passport stamped at the visitor center, took a few short hikes on our own and even got a photo at the iconic park entrance sign. I loved leaving the driving AND parking to Erika. She also was very knowledgeable about the park and I greatly enjoyed the commentary during the drive. Wonderful day. Weather was perfect too!

Our guide, Marty, has been a local all his life. He had many stories of history of the Seattle area, and knew Olympic National Park very well. He started out the tour having everyone introduce themselves and made everyone feet at home. Marty was a wealth of information about the forest, especially the mushrooms. Food was great, plentiful and vegan-friendly. Absolutely recommend this tour!

Fantastic Day Mt Rainier

Silas was our tour guide yesterday through Mt. Rainier. He was awesome; He stopped at all the perfect spots to see all the beautiful sights and told us about specific trails we had time to explore. We could not have asked for a more engaged and kind tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go see Mt. Rainier. My husband and I live north of Seattle and had family in from Ohio and decided to take a guided tour rather than driving on our own, and what a great decision. Thank you Silas for a wonderful day!!!!

Miles hike club

I had an amazing experience with Miles Hike Club! The communication throughout the booking process was excellent. Our guide, Ryan, was incredibly helpful and fun to talk to, making the hike even more enjoyable. They provided snacks, water, and trekking poles, which was a thoughtful touch. I also appreciated that they offered multiple hike options based on what you'd like to see. Highly recommend! I visited lake 22
