    Pros- Pick up at hotel Great guide in Joe Beautiful trip Cons- Need more time for hiking I would recommend this trip

  • 13-Aug-2023

    Our Mt. Rainier tour was fantastic. The mountain was completely visible during our time in the park, and the brilliant blue sky added extra beauty to our photos. Lucas, our driver, was knowledgeable and very accommodating to passengers with special needs. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

    Everything was fantastic. Our guide Lucas provided fantastic information and was extremely knowledgeable

  • 13-Aug-2023

    The driver was both courteous and knowledgeable about the mount rainier area. We were given ample time at each stop.

    Jasper was our guide. He arrived promptly at our hotel at the communicated time. We were the last collection, so we set off immediately towards the mountain. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned, and jasper made a cooler available for the trip which we could all use for food and drink. He provided bottled water. The first stop was at a food store which had a number of other outlets surrounding it like Baskin Robins, Starbucks and lots more. We decided on a tour with a stop for food rather than one which included food as our children can be a bit fussy, this way we could buy exactly what they wanted. The American supermarkets always fascinate us with their extensive variety. 20 minutes later, we were all back on board and heading for the park. Jasper provided facts about Seattle and lots of the little towns on route. He clearly had a love of the land and sustainability. We arrived at a long line of traffic to enter the park at around 11 am. (having left Seattle at 8 a.m.). Jasper knew a great nisqually river front walk, so he dropped us off with instructions of where to get back on once he was through the traffic. There were some beautiful views and the children headed straight down to the river to play. 15 minutes later we were back on the bus. We then stopped at Longmire for a bathroom break. There didn't seem to be much there other than a gift shop but nobody went in from our group. We then started the ascent into the park and honestly the views were breathtaking. Plenty of stops along the way for photos and little hikes at places like Christine Falls, an amazing old suspension bridge with lovely views of the mountain. Jasper would accompany us, take photos, provide interesting facts, point out the best spots for views, etc. We ended up at Paradise with 90 minutes to explore on our own. We did the Nisqually glacier tour, which was about 2 miles in a loop. Stunning views of the mountain, although a tough uphill hike back. We also visited the lodge, had lunch, bought ice cream and gifts, and stopped at a spot on the way out to learn about the trees. Jasper took some amazing panoramic photos for us of a tree that seemed to reach right into the clouds. We were back at our hotel by 6.40. It was a fantastic day out, and I'm very glad we chose this tour operator.

    Jasper was very knowledgeable and shared his science knowledge with us, He also was entertaining and knew where to get good blackberry pie.

  • 13-Aug-2023

    Guide Joe had so much of patience and full of fun ensuring to get the passengers back and enough time given to view the spots and shared the best way to view the spots and also with enough restroom breaks, this tour is ideal for all age group of people. Even if someone can't walk, they can still enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of nature from a bus window.

    Our guide. Lucas,made out trip an exceptional one. He gave us interesting facts about the park and area snd made sure we had plenty of time to pursue our interests once we arrived. He hiked with several and recommended shorter hikes and activities for others.A large tour bus blocked our ability to continue on for awhile snd he handled it all with good humor. Our stop at the grocery store gave us many lunch choices,he had numerous bathroom stops snd lots of bottled water. The trip was well organized with texts to insure a timely pick up. The weather was sunny snd warm and we gave it all a A plus.

  • 12-Aug-2023

    Lucas was an amazing tour guide. He made the trip fun and kept is well informed. If I was to return to Seattle, I would request him as the guide. Thank you Lucas for getting us around the bus safely!! 🙂
