The 15 Best Mount Rainier Day Trips from Seattle

30 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $148

Two hours each way, one volcano, and a season up at Paradise that runs roughly July to September. These 15 differ on how far up the mountain they go, whether lunch is included and how many people share the van — that last one decides how much of the day you spend waiting.

“We were asked to join another person and go to Leavenworth WA vs Mt Rainier. The driver/guide was excellent and made stops along the journey to see waterfalls and deep pools plus stunning mountain vistas. We weren’t thrilled by Leavenworth. Cute imitation Bavarian town with shops & restaurants, but not my “cup of tea.””

Seattle: Mount Rainier Park All-Inclusive Small Group Tour

11.Mount Rainier Park All-Inclusive Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 102 reviews · from $344

Small-group Mt Rainier walk or snowshoe from Seattle with naturalist guide, lunch, snacks, and van pickup. 10.5 hours.

“Sammie Lemmer was our driver/guide. She was superb, both at driving from Seattle to Mount Rainier and back, AND telling us about the various points of scenic interest that she drove us to at Mount Rainier. The lunch, snacks, drinks and water she offered were also tasty and excellent. Her van was spacious and clean. In my opinion, Sammie should get a nice tip (at least $40) from each passenger she transports because she is a terrific guide and is “in her element” to help people understand some important facts about Mount Rainier National Park. I want to take another trip (Olympic Nat. Park?) with Sammie soon. 🤗🥳😘👏👍 Sincerely, Linde…”
