Traveler reviews
Great tour!
We had an amazing experience on this tour! Hurricane Ridge was very foggy during our visit, so I recommend planning accordingly and remembering that mountain weather can change quickly. We didn’t see much wildlife, but we were lucky enough to spot a few deer. It’s best to manage your expectations because no two tours will be exactly the same. The experience may vary depending on the weather, wildlife, road conditions, and the group you’re traveling with. There was a small hiccup within our group before we headed home, which put us a few minutes behind schedule and caused us to return a little later than planned. Our driver—Phil, if I remember correctly—handled it very well. He quickly rerouted us through Kingston, where we were able to catch the 7:45 p.m. ferry. The change of route became an unexpected highlight. Without that brief delay, we probably wouldn’t have gotten to see the charming little town of Kingston and its beautiful views. The tour was amazing overall, and the scenery made the long day completely worthwhile. At the end of the evening, Phil safely dropped us off at the same location where he had picked us up. We really appreciated his flexibility, quick thinking, and effort throughout the trip.
A Disappointing Tour
This tour was merely have a driver taking a group of 11 to various points in olympic national park. There was no guide or info provided bybl driver on history or other point of interest. The van was uncomfortable and difficult getting in and out. The driver made a stop at a grocery store to pick up sandwiches and chips while we waited. We were notified of a change in start time and pickup location the night before. Got conflicting information on that and took about 30 minutesto confirm. The driver was oleasant but not a tour guide. Over all very dissapointed .
Sunny day at Mount Rainier
Wonderful day trip to Mount Rainier National Park. We were so lucky to have a beautifully sunny day, so the summit and all other sites were clearly visible. Our tour guide/driver Josh was great in providing interesting information, stopping for us to take photos, and was conscientious about all members of our group’s needs. The vehicle for this tour was cramped and not very comfortable for transport of 12 people.
Christ is the best
Nice view, nice location. Everything is on time. Chris is the best!
Very concerning experience regarding food safety.
During the tour on September 7, I was given a sandwich with a September 4 date, meaning the date was already three days past. The food was provided without the date or condition being properly checked. I noticed the issue myself before eating it and immediately informed the guide. Providing food without even checking its date is a serious food-safety concern. If I had not checked it myself, I could have eaten food that should not have been provided. This was not simply an inconvenience—it was a matter of basic food safety. The incident made me extremely uncomfortable and significantly affected my tour experience.
