Modéré

Daily walks of 2 to 8 km on park trails, beaches and city streets. Sunrise sits at about 1,950 m and Crater Lake's rim at about 2,150 m, so you may feel short of breath on climbs. The Cleetwood Cove trail drops about 210 m in 1.8 km to the lake and climbs it again on the way back, the steepest walk of the trip, and it is optional. The longest drives are about four and a half hours on day 6 and about five on day 7, split into legs of two hours or less, and every park day has an easy and an active choice.

Arrive in Seattle

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to your hotel in central Seattle, then Pike Place Market

Fly into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), about 25 km south of downtown. We meet arrivals at set times through the day and drive you to a central hotel; the pick-up windows come with your final itinerary. At about 4 pm your See Sight Tours guide walks anyone who has arrived down to Pike Place Market, which has run above the waterfront since 1907: the fish stalls, the craft and glass sellers on the lower levels, and the viewpoints over Elliott Bay, where the ferries cross toward the Olympic Mountains you will reach tomorrow. At about 6 pm the whole group meets at the hotel for a short briefing on the week: how the days are paced, why some mornings start early, and what to pack for rain in the Hoh and cold mornings at altitude.

Soir

Then we walk to a welcome dinner nearby, with salmon and other Pacific Northwest food on the menu. Seattle gets one night on this trip; for more of the city, book extra nights before the trip starts and we will suggest where to stay.

Faune et météo : July to September is the driest stretch. Seattle and Portland are often in the mid-20s C, the Olympic coast stays near 15 to 18 C and is often foggy in the morning, and the high ground at Sunrise, Paradise and Crater Lake is cool, with cold mornings. Paradise meadows flower from about late July to mid-August, and Sunrise a little later. Look for Olympic marmots and black-tailed deer at Hurricane Ridge, Roosevelt elk in the Hoh, hoary marmots and mountain goats on Rainier's high slopes, and Clark's nutcrackers on Crater Lake's rim.

Avant de réserver

Ce voyage est-il pour vous?

Ce voyage vous convient si vous recherchez

  • Travellers who want three national parks in a week, with walking time in each rather than viewpoints from the van
  • Walkers happy with 2 to 8 km a day at up to about 2,200 m, with a harder option on every park day
  • Anyone who wants park entries, the ferry, lunches in the parks and airport transfers settled in one price
  • Solo travellers and couples who prefer hotels and lodges to camping

Ce voyage ne vous convient pas si vous recherchez

  • Travellers who want long city stays: Seattle and Portland get one night each
  • Anyone who wants to avoid any day over four hours on the road (day 6 is about four and a half, day 7 about five)
  • Hikers looking for full trail days or summit climbs on Mount Rainier
  • Travellers who need step-free access at every stop (Ruby Beach, Cleetwood Cove and some trails are steep)
  • Those who need 3-star-plus rooms every night: the lodges at Crater Lake and Lake Quinault are simple

Questions

What does the price include?

Seven nights in hotels and lodges, 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 3 dinners, airport transfers at Seattle (SEA) and Redmond (RDM), a private van with a driver, the Puget Sound ferry, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, entry to Olympic, Mount Rainier and Crater Lake national parks, and every visit in the day plan.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests in a van with a seat for every guest and the guide, room for day packs and warm layers, and everyone can hear the guide on the trails and at the viewpoints.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for all 8 days, with a separate professional driver so the guide can talk rather than drive. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. Most days have 2 to 8 km of walking on park trails, some at around 2,000 m where the air is thinner. The hardest walks, Mount Fremont at Sunrise, Panorama Point at Paradise and the climb back up from Cleetwood Cove, are all optional. Every park day has an easier choice, and any walk can be sat out.

I am travelling solo. Do I pay a single supplement?

Only if you want a room of your own, which is from CAD 920 more. If you would rather share, ask when you book and we will try to pair you with another solo guest at the twin-share price. Solo travellers get the same seat, meals and guide as everyone else.

When is the best time to go?

July to September, and only then. Sunrise Road and parts of Crater Lake's Rim Drive usually open in early July and close in autumn, and snow can block both in June; if Sunrise is shut by snow or wildfire, we go to Tipsoo Lake and Paradise instead. Paradise wildflowers peak from late July to mid-August. Late August and September can bring wildfire smoke.

How long are the drives?

Most days are four hours or less on the road. Day 6, Mount Rainier to Portland, is about four and a half hours, and day 7, Portland to Crater Lake by Eugene and Salt Creek Falls, about five; each is split into legs of two hours or less with walks, a waterfall and lunch. Ending in Bend saves a long drive back to Portland.

Can I swim in Crater Lake?

Yes, at Cleetwood Cove, the only place you can reach the shore. It is a steep trail of about 1.8 km each way, and the water is very cold even in August. Swimming is allowed from the rocks there; your guide waits at the shore and sets the time to start back up.

Do I need reservations to enter Mount Rainier?

You do not need to book anything to enter Mount Rainier. The park ran no timed-entry reservations for any area in 2026, and we confirm the rules each season. If a reservation system returns, we enter as a permitted commercial tour or hold the reservations for the group, and entry is in the price.

What happens if the Bainbridge ferry is cancelled or full?

We still reach Port Angeles the same day. If the Seattle to Bainbridge Island sailing is cancelled or the vehicle line is too long, we take the Edmonds to Kingston ferry or drive round by Tacoma and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, about an hour longer, and keep Hurricane Ridge for the afternoon.

Do I need a visa?

Canadian citizens need no visa, but carry a valid passport: you may be asked for ID at the border and you need it to fly. Most visitors from Visa Waiver countries need an approved ESTA before flying, and others need a US visa. We do not arrange these, so apply well before you travel.

How does booking work, and can we choose our own dates?

Pick a small-group date and request to book: we confirm within 24 hours and take no payment until then. Hotel names, pick-up windows and the day plan come with your confirmation. For your own dates, choose the private trip, or ask from the dates section for an independent quote.
