One-hour narrated Seattle harbor cruise from Pier 55: skyline and Space Needle views, port action, and mountain photos for $45.

“This is a fantastic harbor tour of Seattle with food and drinks available on board! Getting to see the city from the water was a real treat, and you'll learn a little bit of the history of Seattle while taking in the views... We were lucky enough to book our tour on a fairly clear day, so we were able to see Mt. Rainier in the distance, watch the sea lions sunbathing, and experience the longshoremen in action at the port while enjoying the brisk bay breeze on the top deck. The next time I make it back to Seattle, this will definitely be a must-do for the lunch hour...…”

Seattle waterfall hike to Twin Falls and 270-foot Snoqualmie Falls, plus a Mt Si reflecting lake. Small-group, AC van.

“Policy needs to be changed for waiting for late arrival. 11 people who were early or on time were forced to wait 35 minutes for 2 late arriving customers. Then we were put into the rear of the van and could not hear what the guide/driver was saying. Then is driving aggressively to try and make up for the lost time.”
