Snoqualmie Falls and Seattle City Tour

We then stop at the Ballard Locks also driving through Fisherman' Terminal where you'll see the Pacific Fishing fleet. At the Ballard Locks, you may see migrating salmon going through the locks system during the summer months, Sea Lions, Eagles and maritime traffic as they navigate this engineering marvel. Approximate time at the locks is a half hour, giving you time to explore the locks and fish ladder. (Note: This stop is not on tour October 29th-March 1st. See booking page for more info)

Dates for the tours

We run our Snoqualmie Falls/City tours daily, except for April when we run our Tulip Festival tours.

What are the costs?

The cost is $74.00 per person with discounts for seniors and children.

Do you offer hotel pickups?

Due to construction and unpredicitability of Seattle traffic, we are unable to offer hotel pickups at this time. Multiple requests for hotel pickups per day have caused late starts to tours. Our pickup point is within 10 minutes via Uber and Cab of over 80 downtown hotels.

Do you offer pre and post cruise pickups and drop-offs?

Due to changes at the Port of Seattle facility at pier 91 we will no longer be booking Cruise Terminal pickups and drop-offs except for private tours and our partner companies.

Will children enjoy this tour?

Children are of course welcome on tour but, the amount of driving is often difficult for those under 5. We are unable to accommodate car seats on our bus for infants, and they are not able to sit in a seat alone or on a parents lap. Please call us if you have questions in this regard.

Are the tours refundable?

Yes, you can get a full refund up to 72 hours before your tour date. (Tickets booked through ticket resellers such as Viator and Expedia to be refunded with the ticket reseller directly and not through Shutter Tours).

Do you provide lunch?

Lunch is not provided, and we suggest you bring along a snack or eat a late breakfast. Coffee and snacks are available to purchase at Snoqualmie Falls gift shop which is our first stop. We also offer Granola Bars and fruit snacks as a courtesy during the tour.

We can accommodate foldable wheelchairs and walkers for those that are ambulatory and can board the bus with minimal assistance. We are unable to accommodate motorized wheelchairs as the bus is not equipped with a ramp. Please call 425-516-8838 if you need clarification.

Cancellation Policy

Refundable up to 72 hours before tour starting time. We understand how difficult it is to make travel arrangements. Many tour companies will contact you the day of the tour and cancel because they have not sold enough tickets. Our policy is once a tour is booked we will fulfill our obligation to you so that you may enjoy the tour you have paid for despite the number of tickets sold. In the event of small groups being on tour we reserve the right to use a more fuel efficient form of transportation such as our SUV instead of our bus, for environmental impact reasons.
