I recommend going during warmer months than winter. The outdoor seats on the second floor are ideal for watching the ladder, but you'll need to be well-dressed during colder months. (I went at the end of December, so I wore a down jacket and scarf.) You can also see various lakes and coastal tourist attractions, so I think it's a great value tour. Food and drinks are sometimes available for purchase on board, but bringing them with you is prohibited. However, candy and gum are of course OK. There are also restrooms on board. The view of Mount Rainier and the Space Needle from the second deck was spectacular. You can also see Gas Works Park quite well from the boat.

Reviews: 1-day tour of Vancouver round-trip to Seattle city sightseeing
Guest User2026-01-03
I spontaneously decided to travel to Seattle for a day on December 31st. My guide, Lewis, was very kind and introduced me to many things about Vancouver and Seattle. I had a great time exploring the sights in Seattle and thoroughly enjoyed my solo trip.
