I took the day trip to Mt Rainier with Evergreen Escapes on my most recent trip to Seattle. Marty was an excellent tour guide who made sure everyone was well cared for and had the best experience possible. We saw all of the major highlights of the park, had an incredible and fresh lunch, and learned so much about the history of the park and surrounding areas. This is a must-do if you are visiting Seattle. I will be re-booking another tour with Evergreen Escapes on my next trip to the PNW!

Book your Mt. Ranier tour with Evergreen Escapes and you will be so glad you did. Our guide, Kayla, was a knowledgeable guide and welcoming in every way. She helped our crew "click". She gave us choices for how much we wanted to hike and what attractions we wanted to see. Our lunch was delicious and made to order for dietary restrictions. At the end of the day, we were sad to see our group break up and this is all thanks to Kayla and her warm, positive energy.

Our guide Kayla was amazing. She kept the tour fun, interesting and informative. She kept an eye on the weather as it can get cloudy and got us to a perfect spot to view Mt. Rainier. We had a great time and would recommend Evergreen Escapes and especially Kayla to everyone.

We had a fantastic day trip to the Olympic National Park. Our guide Zac was very friendly and knowledgeable about the region. He told us many interesting things about the plants, animals and other topics. The landscape was really impressive with the rain forest, tide pools, waterfalls…
I think this was the best organized day trip we have made so far. Thank you!

Spectacular day tour to Olympic National Park. We were picked up from the hotel in a van, very comfortable. Very happy to have been able to enjoy the wonderful landscapes of this park, with the very interesting comments of our Guide Matthew. They gave us snacks, full lunch, drinks and it struck me that the water they offered was in metal containers, very eco-friendly! I'd like to go back to my kids.

Deception Pass and Bridge to whaling cruise was great. Saw a few whales, lots of sea lions, water was calm and a sunny day. Our guide, Matthew was outstanding, very knowledgeable, great driver, served a beautiful picnic lunch. Plenty of snacks, drinks, all day in his van which was clean and comfortable.
Also, Evergreen Escapes team kept me updated by email of pick up times , what to wear and /or any changes. Whales and Wildlife watching tour.

Our tour guide Sammy was an absolute delight, very knowledgeable and personable. My friend and I appreciated that the tour took us to wineries that were a bit off the beaten track. Snoqualmie Falls was a beautiful destination. The food provided for lunch was delicious and healthy and there were also plentiful snacks and non-alcoholic beverages available. All in all, it was a perfect day.

We had a wonderful guide Marty who was knowledgeable and fun. We hiked, saw beautiful waterfalls, rivers, & mountains, and ate wild berries. Even the trips to and from Rainier were through less traveled roads, which meant less traffic and interesting sceneries. The tour included a delicious lunch served family style with real plates and silverware. Kids loved the tour and lunch, also!

We loved the trails we were taken to, lunch that was served, and cleanliness of the van. Brent was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable of the park, friendly, and accommodating. Would love to have him again the next time we're in Washington; he was an integral part of making the trip great.

We arrived in Seattle a couple of days before a cruise departure, and wanted to visit the Olympic Park area, but found the cost of a rental car to be ridiculously expensive. When we learned that Evergreen Escapes would pick us up from a downtown area hotel as part of their tour arrangement, we didn't hesitate to "book it." Karen, our guide, was very knowledgeable about local "flora and fauna" and while she couldn't control the wet weather, she made the day very enjoyable. In fact, she even brought spare "walking sticks" and rainjackets for people who weren't properly prepared. A light breakfast was provided, as well as a delicious picnic lunch and snacks in between.
Although we originally hoped to schedule this tour on a Sunday, Karen explained that it's not offered then because of prohibitively long ferry wait times for people returning from Bainbridge Island. As it was, even on the Saturday evening we toured, there had been a special bicycling event that caused long ferry lines, so Karen asked whether the group was open to the idea of returning to Seattle by driving over one of the bridges, instead. Everyone (9 guests overall) agreed, and we all were dropped off at our respective hotels as promised, around 12 hours after our day began, with memories to last a lifetime.
Note: You should be in reasonably good health, to be able to hike on hilly terrain... everyone on the tour the day we went managed just fine, but otherwise you'd probably have to remain in the van and wouldn't get to see as much.

Mt. Rainer vs. Olympic tour? I will be in town for the weekend and can only commit to one excursion on April 17, 2021. I would love to do both but due to time constraints, I will have to choose only one tour. Which would you recommend for someone visiting the PNW for the first time? Thanks!
Written March 28, 2021
It really depends on what you're looking to see! Both Mt Rainer and Olympic are gorgeous, jaw-dropping destinations, and it's difficult to choose!
Mt Rainier is well known for a good reason! Old-growth forests, wildflower meadows, and the most glaciers in the Lower 48 sometimes make you forget that this volcano is so large that it can seem to tower over Downtown Seattle on a clear day.
Olympic National Park is more of a sampler of the different landscapes and ecosystems you can find in Washington! Coastal forests and tidepool rich beaches give way to alpine lakes and old-growth rainforests, while the Olympic mountains rise thousands of feet above in the center of the peninsula.
If you're still undecided, give us a call! We're happy to tell you more about our tours!

Very interested in taking one of your tours, probably to Olympic National Park. We have NOT yet made our motel reservations. We would like to take advantage of your pick-up service. Can you provide me with general guidelines on what areas of Seattle your van regularly stops to pick-up travelers?

We stayed at the Pineapple Inn Hotel 5 in Seattle and they picked us up at the door. It was a great tour - well organized with funny knowledgeable driver.

Will it be cool in July at Mt Rainier. This trip is more that the other company. Does it include more stops? Or other things
Is it a 10 hour tour also?
Written April 22, 2019
HLSESS - thanks for asking! Kitt E - thanks so much for answering so well!
Late June through September is lovely in the Pacific Northwest. We tend to make a few longer stops at special places on the mountain and the weather changes with elevation a bit (our trips tend to cover sea level to 6000'). In July, low temps might be in the mid-50's and high temps might hit 80 degrees (Fahrenheit). We like to spend time on foot so we tell people to bring sturdy shoes (tennis shoes or light hiking shoes) and layered clothing that you can add to or subtract from as the day goes on or the elevation changes.
Our trips are all-inclusive (breakfast, coffee, tea, snacks, lunch, local wine, etc) and our guides are professional educators that tailor days to the small groups we have. Maybe the biggest upside to an all-inclusive trip is that it means more time outside (no time waiting in line at a busy lunch canteen in the park). We're attempting to give travelers the best day possible in the field. Additionally, we're the only day tour operator currently permitted to walk beyond a mile of the road (due to Mt. Rainier's ecological importance & sensitivity). Other day trip operators are restricted to what are known as "road tours."
I hope that information helps! Please let me know if I can tell you more. We have a small team in the office if you'd like to give us a call - we love talking about travel in the Northwest.
Gratitude,

We are really keen on having a hike of at least 1.5-2 hours or more, is this tour an actual hiking tour or just sightseeing/driving between viewing points? Thanks
Written June 18, 2018
Greetings, RH!
Jeremy & Michele have led with some solid information: our guides take input from the travelers in the small group and go from there. In all seasons, we like to get out and explore several highlights--it's not really a "drive by and take a photo" tour. As Jeremy says, in the winter we might try to protect guests a bit more from the elements but we still leave it up to travelers.
We don't leave the city with an exact itinerary in mind--we like to tailor our days to the folks in the vehicle for the day.
Thanks for your interest!

Hi, my daughter and I will be visiting Seattle on Memorial Day weekend and we’ll love to book the all day tour to Olympic NP. Can you give us more information about the tour? Since it’s only the 2 of us I’m not sure if that’s going to be a problem. Thank you!
Written April 14, 2018
Hi Karla!
It's certainly not a problem that there are just two of you--all of our trips are ten people or fewer and typically made up of a few small groups. Great question!
Our guides pick people up (and return them in the evening) from downtown Seattle hotels, airbnbs, etc and we aim to catch the ferry to they Olympic Peninsula most mornings.
There's so much to tell you--please feel encouraged to give our team a call at 206-650-5795, I'd be happy to talk you through any questions or assist you in booking with us.
Thanks very much for asking,
Danny, General Manager
