Trip itinerary was good for the time allotted. Got to bonus site Madison Falls. Guide Ryan was great.
We had a great experience and thought everything went smoothly. We appreciated being picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Our tour guide did a wonderful job. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the service we've provided! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
Olympic Park is huge and obviously it’s impossible to see everything in one go, but this day tour makes it easy to see some great attractions in a day. There were opportunities to hike, admire some scenery, and get lots of photos. Ryan was a great guide: he got us everywhere safely; kept us together and on time; provided lots of food, drinks, and helpful items like chargers; and was so knowledgeable about everywhere we went!
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the service we've provided! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
My friend and I had the Olympic National Park tour and our guide Ryan Si really went above and beyond in making sure everyone is well-informed and our needs taken care of. The tour was interesting and fun. I’ll definitely consider doing it again with my family.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the service we've provided! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
The trip itself was very good. It is a very long day, but worth it for the scenery. The only let down for me was the lunch. I had asked for a vegetarian option. Everyone was handed meat & salad sandwiches, while my daughter and I received a packet of apple turnovers and a pack of crispy bites - this is not an acceptable vegetarian option!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the scenery and overall experience of the trip, and we truly appreciate your kind comments about the tour itself. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment regarding the vegetarian lunch option. Please be assured that we have shared your comments with our operations team and the supplier responsible for meal arrangements. We will review our meal planning and communication process to ensure that vegetarian and other special dietary requests are handled with greater care in the future. We value your feedback, as it helps us improve our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
Duan was great. The trip accomplished quite a lot for a day trip.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the service we've provided! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
Tough tour. Roughly a 12/13 hour day and you’re spending about 7 hours of it sitting in a tight van being transported. I personally don’t feel the destination was worth the time lost in getting there. Also, the lunch provided, a cold hard sandwich from the deli at the ferry was terrible. It would have been better to give us the option to bring our own lunch prior to the tour. Guide was okay, he did his job and got us everywhere safely and on time. However, I don’t recommend this tour. Either stick with visiting Mt. Rainier or go in your own car.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We understand that a 12-13 hour tour can feel lengthy, the duration includes necessary transit time to reach the destination. Regarding the lunch, we sincerely regret that the sandwich did not meet your expectations. We will discuss with our partners to improve the meal options and will also consider allowing guests the option to bring their own lunch in the future. We are glad to hear that your guide got you everywhere safely and on time, though we are sorry that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We take your comments seriously and will use them to improve our tours. We appreciate your recommendation to consider Mount Rainier or self-driving options, and we hope you will give us another chance to provide a better experience in the future.
Mitch our guide was awesome. From the time he picked us up till the time he dropped us off...he treated us like family. The tour was informative and just overall a great day! I would recommend Mitch and will request him for my next tour!

Everything was so beautiful and so fun! Phill was great because he was orderly, very knowledgeable and gave great insight to each location we visited . The price was totally justified because it included lunch and transportation , park entrance fees and ferry fees plus the experience and beautiful views itself . We did the 11 hour tour and saw so much, it was truly an amazing experience especially for first time travelers to Washington and a national park.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the service we've provided! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
Phill was great, weather as perfect. Good snapshot of the park.
