On the way, we will know about the Seattle people's special lifestyle. When the tour ends, we will drop off guests.

Hurricane Ridge has several hiking trails including steep trails to ridge top traverses descending to subalpine valleys and lakes. This is easily accessible mountain area presenting fantastic views and clear weather, ideally suitable to enjoy throughout the year.

Highly recommended. Unbelievable and cherished time!!! Destinations were very easy to reach like Olympic National Park and Hurricane Ridge with our driver. Our guide was very supportive to guide and was always there whenever you have questions. As there were people from different culture but he showed a perfect guided relationship to all type of visitors to make them comfortable. All needed information about the tour was explained by him like as an excellent teacher. It is a pleasure to spend holidays with such an amazing bus tour. Golden time with amazing bus!
Logan
From driver to guide everyone was personal, easy going, and tremendously well-informed. I was very much satisfied with the tour and deciding to go again with this bus tour along with my family. As it was my first experience and I was alone. I was very comfortable with the inner environment of the bus but people outside were bit different. Places were just unbelievable. Very appropriate minutes and hours were given to all destinations in the initeneray. I enjoyed good timing at places Crescent Lake and life style of the people of Seattle was a new experience for me. Timing of every place was managed and followed well but sometimes it was shortened because of weather issues. Thanks a lot!

I had a pleasure of going with this bus tour and it was a breathtaking experience of nature and its beauty. I found guide as an informative one with good nature. I was from Bangladesh and did not expect such loving attitude from the entire management. USA has got amazing bus tours I must say which I experienced in the form of this bus tour. Fun, good meals, accommodations, services, destinations and budget friendly responses is the entire package offered by this bus tour. Thank you!

We did this spectacular bus tour with a group of friends and honestly, we made finest memories on this trip. All of my friends including me will remember our tour for the precious person John as a guide. He was a man of fun with genius nature and kind behavior. My friends always love to get more and more information about visited destinations like Olympic National Park and Crescent Lake and they were very happy that they got John as their guide. They kept asking question and John kept answering. This bus tour is a way to connect with history, modern world, new people and amazing cultures. Such kind of trip is exploring in itself. Happy days!
