“The tour was great! Our guide, Sarah, drove us up the north side with a stop at Federation Forest for a short break in the ride (from Seattle) and a short walk through the forest. On we went up the north side to Sunrise, which had only recently opened for the summer. What incredible views! Our hike up Mount Rainier was breathtaking! We hiked to Frozen Lake and on to Sunrise Campsite, Shadow Lake, then back to the Sunrise Visitor Center. The day was clear and breezy with an occassional cloud. Sarah, again, our guide, was attentive to all the participants (limited to 10 of us) and helpful throughout the…”

Seattle CityPASS stacks 5 top attractions into one mobile ticket package, with big savings and up to 9 days to use it.

“Seattle is way more expensive than I expected. It was nice to have this CityPASS ahead of time so we could plan our week around it. The Space Needle was better than expected, harbour cruise was very informative. My kids didn’t expect to like the MoPOP, but they really enjoyed it too. We also went to the zoo which was very big and spread out over a large area. It was a bit disappointing because for the size of the area, there weren’t very many animals. Public transit is very easy to navigate and affordable. We considered taking an Uber but after comparing it makes more sense to use the…”

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...…”
