Description

from Mt. Rainier Tour

Meeting at the Hyatt Regency Seattle at 808 Howell Street, our tour begins in our brand new 14 passenger mini coach as we get an early morning start to start the day. Custom ordered with the best AC/Heating system for your comfort. Your knowledgable guide will share information throughout the trip to prepare you for your Mt. Rainier visit.

After a timely restroom stop, your first nature stop will be at Longmire where you'll have the opportunity to step out into the fresh mountain air and start a day that will be truly memorable. Should you choose, you can hike the Trail of the Shadows, a leisurely 0.7-mile loop through old growth forest and meadows.

Paradise is famous for its glorious views and wildflower meadows. When James Longmire's daughter-in-law, Martha, first saw this site, she exclaimed, "Oh, what a paradise!" And what a paradise it is. Here you will have adequate time to enjoy lunch and spend time hiking at a leisurely pace throughout the lodge area. Bring your binoculars, and you might even see climbers as they hike towards the Muir base camp on their way to the 14,410' summit. You will have ample time to enjoy Mother Nature whether it is a simple stroll on nice pathways or a more vigorous hike around Paradise Lodge.

Mt. Rainier is known for its splendor for not only the mountain but for its majestic waterfalls. During your Mt. Rainier visit us, you'll also have the opportunity to see and stop at waterfalls including Christine Falls. With the magnificent stone bridge framing the cascading water, you'll come to enjoy the beauty of the alpine wilderness and the brilliance of Mt. Rainier National Park. Your guide will even show you a unique photo tip to get your best waterfall photo.

One of the most beautiful lakes to photograph in the United States is Reflection Lake. Mt. Rainier sits directly behind the lake, and weather permitting, you'll have an opportunity to create a memorable photo on your trip with us. We'll give you ample time to get your "Bucket Shot" photo, and your guide will help to get the best group photo to remember your day with us.

"Great Day Out and Introduction to the City"

Reviewed November 18, 2019 NEW

If you haven’t been to Seattle before, - like us – do this tour. - we did this 18 October 2019. It takes in most of the main sites. After meeting up with Amanda at Pike Place Market first the tour took us out of the city to see the Snoqualmie Falls. It sounds miles away, but only a 40-minute drive and well worth it. Then back into the centre stopping in Fremont under the bridge for pictures with the Fremont Troll. Then on the various sites, but the highlight was Kerry Park and the fantastic view from there. We also headed to Ballard Locks. A really great tour for those with no knowledge of Seattle. Our guide Amanda was great, supplying us with Granola bars and water. - thanks a lot for a great day Amanda and apologies for the late review.

We actually went on two Shutter Tours while in Seattle--Snoqualmie Falls and City Tour and the Boeing Tour. For Snoqualmie/City, our tour guide was Amanda--absolutely fantastic. She is knowledgeable, personable and humorous and couldn't be more helpful. Very informative 4 hours covering the beautiful falls as well as all major areas of the city which provided us with a nice orientation. Terry was our guide for Boeing. When we showed up at the meeting place, we were surprised to find that we were the only two on the tour bus. To his and the company's credit, Terry advised us that they never cancel based on the number of people that sign up. Again, another great guide--personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable with great stories gleaned from his many years in the area. Another very interesting tour. Very comfortable vehicles. Lots of attention to detail and a genuine interest in your comfort and experience. Thanks you. Would highly recommend this tour outfit.
