★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 131 reviews · 4h 30m · from $79

See Twin Falls, Snoqualmie Falls, Mount Si, and Pacific Northwest forests on a small-group half-day tour from Seattle.

“The hike was fantastic. Our guide was friendly and professional. The only down side, was that the van we spent 1 1/2 hours in was old and needed a new pair of shocks. We were asked to sit in the back (which was fine), but it was a very uncomfortable and extremely bumpy ride. Other than that, we really enjoyed the hike and the waterfalls. Ps - since the tour extends well past lunch time, some time could have been given for people to enjoy lunch at the waterfalls.”

Review of a private Mount Rainier hike from Seattle, with Three Burroughs Trail views, guide support, lunch, and flexible hiking.

“Couldn’t recommend this experience enough, this was probably one of my favorite booked activity ever. Sophia was such a great guide, I was solo traveling and I felt like hiking with a dear friend. She clearly knows so much about Mt Rainier, I learned a lot about the park, she definitely has a passion for what she does. This was an exceptional experience from pick up to drop off, also not having to deal with anything besides water and layers for the weather was very convenient. I would def go back for other trails.”

Felicity helped us customize the perfect day which included the Hoh rainforest and coast/tide pools/beaches. She communicated with us ahead of time to make sure we had the perfect itinerary planned. She checked tide charts and weather, also knew the best times to get into the Hoh rainforest without having to wait at all! Perfectly planned and executed, plus a ton of great knowledge and facts about the park, wildlife and geology, and…”
