Olympic National Park Small Group Day Tour w/Scenic Ferry 2CanGo

Priyanka_K, Jun 2026

First time at Olympic National Park

Olympic National Tour from Seattle was a great experience. The tour started with a ride on the ferry, allowing us to get great views of the Seattle skyline and Space Needle. At the ONP, we were able to do short-hikes around Hurricane Ridge and Marymere Falls as well as stopped at various lookout points such as Lake Crescent. Our tour guide, Cyrus, was great. He clearly communicated the details of the tour. He messaged the day before confirming that he has picked up sandwiches and bananas for the included lunch. He was kind to accomodate my dietary restrictions and bought me an egg salad sandwich. I am glad that I went on the tour and was able to experience another part of Washington state. It is a great day activity if you are visiting Seattle!

Seattle: Rainforest, Beach, and Olympic National Park Highlights

Jessica_R, Jun 2026

Excellent trip!

A great introduction into the major points of the national forest! Jonny, our guide, knew exactly where to go to avoid crowds and give us the best experience possible. He was knowledge about the flora of the rainforest, the history of the places we visited, and answered every question we had. All in all it was a great trip and would recommend to anyone who wanted a 1-day crash course of the national forest.

6/5 Stars - A Can’t Miss Tour

Susan was so kind and experienced. She was well-prepared and made the tour accessible to all involved, with a mixed level of activities that all had EPIC views. She knew her facts and history well and also was a great photographer to boot. She was quick to point out good views and had a great understanding of when sites would be best to visit while still remaining flexible. I would full-heartedly recommend taking this tour and any of other tours.

Mount Rainier Customized Tour from Seattle

Morgan_L, Jun 2026

Pricey but worth it

Comfortable trip. The guide was experienced, friendly, and helpful. My one note would be more time at Paradise and fewer stops. The couple hours at paradise blows by with so much to explore and I’d rather wander the mountain over stop roadside for a view.

Meet the Market- Food and Fun tour in Pike Place Market

Taste of History and Food Delights

Great selection of food tasting and Guide John was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour involved more stairs up and down than I expected, but this insider's tour was well worth while as John showed us hidden gardens, historic elements like the wall of chewing gum, and hidden gardens tucked in here and there. His treasure trove of insights and history made this a delightful introduction to Pike Place Market.

Fantastic Bavarian Village Tour

Slava was our driver & tour guide. He was fun and very knowledgeable about both Seattle as well as Levenworth. He always made sure we were comfortable and gave us several suggestions for lunch. He was on time picking us up. Coming home we hit 5:00 rush hour which he handled very easily and smoothly. He was a joy to ride with.

Whale Watching from Friday Harbor

Sail the Salish Sea with San Juan Safaris!

Our whale watching trip with San Juan Safaris was exceptional. Captain Gabe and the MV Sea Lion took great care of all the passengers and our onboard naturalist, Olivia, kept us entertained and educated about all the wildlif we did (and didn't) see. We saw harbor porpoises galore, a number of bald eagles and harbor seals (rock sausages) too. The highlights of the expedition were watching a Steller Sea Lion tease some surrounding gulls with his catch du jour, and then getting to see two family groups of Orcas traversing the Haro Strait. Truly an unforgettable day!

Look no further! Best service in Seattle!!!

Armando was the friendliest, professional, and courteous person! He was extremely helpful and thorough with directions when it was the day of pickup at the airport. The vehicle was new and very clean and comfortable. We were so pleased with our experience, I cancelled other scheduled shuttle service and booked him for the rest of our trip (2 more trips to and from the port). I will recommend his services to anyone I know traveling to Seattle and will only book him when we return to Seattle!

Seattle's Original Sunset Sail (Est. 1984) - 70ft Boat - BYOB

Ellen_W, Sep 2025

Exceeded expectations

What a great experience! Friendly crew who answered questions but didn't narrate -- which we appreciated after a long day of sightseeing and listening to tour guides! We brought our own wine, bread, cheese and deli meats, from Pike Place Market, which was plenty for dinner. Regular seating is limited, so be prepared to sit on the deck -- there's not much room to walk around. We were fine but it's not suitable for those with mobility issues. We were lucky to have calm clear weather and enjoyed a spectacular sunset. Two hours is just long enough!
