Please arrive 45 minutes before your selected start time for pickup. Your operator can coordinate exact time and location.

We'll pick you up where you're staying in Downtown Seattle including hotels and airbnbs!. If you are staying outside our legal pick up zone, we are happy to meet you at our default pick up location—Sheraton Grand (1400 6th Ave). If you're unsure whether your hotel or rental is part of the downtown corridor, give us a call and we can confirm whether your hotel is included! We also make quick stops near SeaTac Airport (DoubleTree Airport) or Tacoma (Best Western Plus Tacoma Dome) when requested. We will call/text/email around noon the day prior to your tour to confirm your pick-up location and exact pick-up time. No need to check-in before we contact you (unless you have a question, of course!).
At 14,410 feet above sea level, beautiful and majestic Mt Rainier is an icon in the Washington landscape—an active volcano and the most glaciated peak in the United States, creating six major rivers.

This day trip nature tour to hike and/or snowshoe around Mt. Rainier National Park begins with a Seattle hotel pickup followed by a scenic drive to the park in a luxury vehicle. Upon arrival, enjoy Seattle coffee and pastries before starting the trek along the Nisqually Vista Trail. Be on the lookout for wildlife wandering around the mountain at any time.

This all-day Mt Rainier tour includes frequent stops to take pictures and enjoy light snacks. A picnic lunch of locally sourced, organic foods (grilled chicken or salmon, sandwich or wrap, with a grain or green salad and water or soda) is also provided midday. 

At the end of the day, it’s back down the mountain to take a relaxing return trip to Seattle.

Amazing Views

The views on the way up to the mountain and at the top of the mountain itself are simply breathtaking. Our tour guide made sure to shows us some of the best scenic spots and loved every minute of it.

Our tour guide Marty was fantastic. Since this was a hiking tour I would suggest people being told or understand that point when they book this tour. Most of our group would not or could not walk the trails which did limit the hiking experience.

Generally good, but overpriced for the experience
Nabila_A
, Oct 2021
Pros: Knowledgable guide, nice trails and views of Rainier, nice snacks and lunch spread, provided extra jackets and outerwear (which ended up being completely necessary!) Cons: communication and preparation leading up to the trip could have been much better, specifically on what to wear, what to expect during the trip, how many trails, how much walking and climbing, etc. Trip could have also been an hour shorter. Finally, would highly encourage temperature checks, proof of vaccination, and much stronger COVID protocols in general given that we were all piled into a very tight van and coming from different parts of the country. Had to ask the day prior if there were any COVID protocols in place at all given lack of communication on this. Overall, views and trails were great but felt a bit overpriced for the experience and especially given COVID.

Such gorgeous views, liberating atmosphere and adventure. We’re so glad we booked this day trip to Mt. Rainier. Martin, our guide, is the best — friendly, super knowledgeable and thoughtful. He had a real good feel for our group and catered our journey accordingly.

Fun trip, epic cookies
Kristin_S
, Sep 2021
Had a great time with our guide, Ben. We enjoyed a couple of short walks down to Box Canyon and the Grove of the Patriachs, along with lots of stops for pics, bathroom breaks, and anything else that caught our eye. The van was comfy, the included snacks/meals were nice and Ben even baked us bread for lunch. Overall lots of fun! Make sure to grab one of their apple streusel cookies at the end of the day for a brief moment of nirvana.

Mt Rainier Tour
Sandi_B
, Sep 2021
Mt Rainier was absolutely amazing! Our guide Jan was wonderful. She gave our group options of longer hikes or shorter ones to see more views. That was great because we had all ages on our tour and not everyone is able to do the same physically. We opted for smaller hikes so we could see more things. It was truly some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! I am a tree lover and Twin Firs Trail was amazing. Mt Rainier was absolutely one of the most grandest things I've ever seen. Reflection Lake, breathtaking! That was only a few places we saw that day, I could go on and on!

Best Tour

If you’re thinking about doing this tour…DO IT!!! This was one of the best (if not the best) tours I’ve ever been on. The tour was made to fit the varying wishes of everyone in the group and we all left satisfied. We got to see great sights (multiple waterfalls, glaciers, viewpoints, etc) while also learning great information from our tour guide. Added to all this, there were ever present snacks, drinks, breakfast, and a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to visit Mt. Rainier.

A Day Experiencing Mt. Rainer that will always be remembered
Garrett_S
, Sep 2021
Justin, our guide, was super friendly and engaging and knew so much about Mt. Rainer, the geology, history, flora and fauna. We saw everything of the mountain one could ask for in early September. The snacks and lunch provided were fantastic. It was an extremely well-organized and exceptional tour of the mountain. Highly recommended!
