Private Mt. Rainier Tour from Seattle - Customize Your Day

★ 4.8 (18 reviews) · By Tours Northwest

Discover the stunning beauty of Mt. Rainier National Park on a private tour tailored just for you. Starting from your hotel, your personal local guide will pick you up in a comfortable Pearl Chevrolet Suburban LTZ, ready to craft an itinerary that matches your interests. Whether you want a day packed with hikes and adventure or a relaxed, scenic journey, it’s entirely up to you.

Explore parts of the park that public tours often can't reach. During winter months (November to April), road access is limited to areas that don’t require chains, so some destinations like Paradise, Christine, or Narada Falls may be off-limits. Instead, enjoy snowshoeing at Longmire, which offers a unique way to experience the snow-covered landscape.

This private tour offers flexibility, comfort, and a chance to see the park at your own pace. It’s perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Mt. Rainier without the crowds.
