Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Hotel Pickup
Guest User2025-12-28
The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!
Reviews: Mt. Rainier National Park Highlights Tour

Lucas was an amazing guide and driver! We felt safe, well taken care of, and entertained the entire time. He easily adapted to our group’s needs — we wanted to see a lot but only walk a little due to some physical limitations — and he made everything smooth and enjoyable. I truly recommend this tour!
Reviews: Best of Mount Rainier National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Tour
Guest User2024-07-21
My daughter and I went on this tour during a 3 day Seattle visit for her 17th birthday. I would say that this tour was worth every penny! Ben was a fantastic guide and we had a lovely time. We were picked up and dropped off at our downtown hotel which was extremely convenient. We stopped part way up the mountain for a break and Ben made us coffee and served a snack of breakfast breads. Later, had a very delicious lunch (cloth napkins and everything LOL). Being July, we had gorgeous weather and the beauty of Mt. Rainier cannot be described. It was truly lovely. We saw waterfalls, a bit of snow, lakes, gorgeous views, and even a bear! Thankfully he was walking away from us, but it was very cool. This is a long day so plan accordingly (we knew that going in) but would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Ben was very gracious and considerate. He gave us so much information and was very accommodating to be sure that everyone in the group (5 of us total) had as little or as much activity as we wanted. 10/10 Highly recommend!
