An Unforgettable Anniversary Adventure
Had an incredible time exploring Olympic National Park with our guide Claire. Saw so many amazing locations we never would have been able to fit in a day without Evergreen Escapes' help. What we loved: A knowledgeable guide that made each location feel more meaningful, a delicious lunch that met our dietary restrictions, and an easy pickup from downtown Seattle that kept the whole experience hassle free. We look forward to trying out another experience with Evergreen Escapes in a future trip to Washington.

Our guide, Marty, has...
Our guide, Marty, has been a local all his life. He had many stories of history of the Seattle area, and knew Olympic National Park very well. He started out the tour having everyone introduce themselves and made everyone feet at home. Marty was a wealth of information about the forest, especially the mushrooms. Food was great, plentiful and vegan-friendly. Absolutely recommend this tour!

Awesome way to see Olympic National Park in a day!
Our guide, Megan, was awesome! She was kind, funny, informative and kept our group focused while allowing flexibility at each stop. She made sure we saw so many different aspects of the park and was a joy to be around. Our picnic midday in the middle of a rainforest was definitely a highlight and the ferry rides were so much fun. Would highly recommend!

This tour was wonderful...
This tour was wonderful and everything I had hoped it would be. Chris was our driver and tour guide; he did not disappoint! He is very knowledgeable and knows the various locations he took us to inside and out. You definitely cannot go wrong with Chris at the helm. The assorted snacks and lunch were delicious! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and learn more about this beautiful NP!

Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.
How much does Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $368 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seattle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seattle is not rushed.
Is Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,070 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Seattle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour?
+
Around 375 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seattle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seattle and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seattle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seattle?
+
Seattle's best days leave the city: Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Olympic National Park and Snoqualmie Falls are all day-trip range, and each one lives or dies on the driver-guide. In town, Pike Place food tours, underground history walks and harbour cruises dominate. Our ranking favours operators with small vans over full coaches on the mountain runs. On Outty we rank every Seattle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle, Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls Half-Day Guided Tour, Chef Guided Food Tour of Pike Place Market. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seattle?
+
June to September for clear Rainier views and reliable ferry weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seattle?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour?
+
Included: Snowshoe gear (during winter months). Additional warm clothing available upon request; Olympic National Park entrance fees; Lovely guided hikes or snowshoe (winter) treks tailored to your group. Spend lots of time; Pick-up and drop-off at your downtown Seattle hotel, Airbnb, or rental; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities; Breakfast; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 71 listed pickup locations in and around Seattle. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

+
