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.

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 and will especially enjoy the Fremont Troll stop as well as the locks. We do not have car seats on our bus for infants, but all buses are equipped with seatbelts to accommodate your own car seat. Children are not able to sit on a parents lap during the tour. 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).

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.
