This trip was amazing & I had so much fun!! First, I’d like to even mention that I don’t hike or do nature adventures lol, but I had such an amazing day that I would definitely go again the next time I’m in Seattle!! James, our tour guide picked me up on time, he was so friendly, accommodating, informative, & was fun to have as a guide! He entertained us with a lot of information but also allowed us to rest on the drive back to the city. Our group was great and felt like we all knew each other and James was like family. We also got very lucky that we got CLEAR views of Mt. Rainier, the weather was perfect!! We had coats on but it wasn’t rainy, the sun was out, and had enough chill to wear a coat. I highly recommend the tour & and it was the best time spent all day!

Thank you for sharing such a glowing review! It’s wonderful to hear that, even as someone who doesn’t usually venture into nature or hiking, you had such a fantastic time on the tour. James will be thrilled to know he helped make your experience so enjoyable with his friendly, accommodating, and informative approach. Creating a family-like vibe among the group and allowing for both engagement and rest is something we strive for, so we are glad you felt that balance. And how lucky to get those clear views of Mt. Rainier—sounds like the perfect weather to top off an amazing day! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you’re in Seattle. Thanks again for recommending us and for spending your day with us! All the best,

Mt Rainier is amazing - we were up there with our group after a day of snowfall. It was fantastic!!! A truly unique experience. Our guide, Cory, was a lot of fun - he is entertaining. I recommend you take the tour with him. You will be happy you did.

Lucas was so knowledgeable and helpful on our tour. It was a long bus ride, but he kept it entertaining. He handled any weather issue that came up, and we had rain, freezing rain, and snow. He encouraged us to make the most of the park and all the fun stops on the way. Would 100% recommend.
