    Fun experience especially with Seattle city backdrop in the distance and availability to row over to gas works park. The process was simple: pay $18/hr, guides provide you jackets, how-to's if you've never kayaked before, and the kayak itself. The only thing I did not like was how expensive it is for this activity. To do this with a family, it's quite costly when it adds up especially if you go for a few hours. You can't really make this a half day event unless you have deep pockets. Overall, really fun photo opp experience, great initial date spot, and something to definitely try and do while living or visiting Seattle.

    I had an absolute blast with my family kayaking on Lake Union. The service was great, price was reasonable and they even offered my husband a military discount! ((Huge bonus points)) Unlike Alki Beach Kayak Tours, they offered us complimentary dry bags to store our items. Nice touch. Highly recommend Moss Bay for beginner and expert kayakers!

    Came here on Memorial Day. The wait was a bit long but the staff were friendly, helpful, and kept us updated. They gave us a safety talk and we were off in a double kayak. It was a great experience overall - just don't forget to pay after your done and pick up your license/ID. I almost forgot to go back to the kiosk!

    One of my favorite things I did on my trip to Seattle! We went on a sunny Saturday and rented a double kayak for $26/hour, life jackets and water baggies included. No line--we were out on the water in about 5 minutes. We managed to kayak all the way to Gasworks and back within one hour (as two young, reasonably fit people). BEAUTIFUL view of the skyline and bridges. I would absolutely come back again.

    Kinda hard to rate non food places for me because I don't know what constitutes a 4 or 5 star. Lets just say 4 star is a thing I'd do again, but not regularly. 5 star is something that I'd want to do a lot. But I'm not sure what that 5 star item would be... I went paddleboarding for the first time here right before summer started and it was probably around 75 degrees that day at 4pm. Turned out to be warm enough! I thought it would be chillier since it's water activities, but granted I didn't fall into the water, it was fine! When I see people doing this, it looks super easy, but then I think about it, I'm like that's hard! It turned out to be something in between. You get a life jacket from this place, safety! I got used to standing/balance on the board pretty easily, but paddling was a lot of work from a standing position. When you get tired, you can sit down, and it's like kayaking haha. Lake Union is also a great spot for this. It's generally pretty calm waters, except when you come across fancy boats going by. I went for just shy of 2 hours, which was good enough for me. I bought a groupon so I think it was $15 for the two hours. Regularly $15/hour. They were able to accommodate a group of roughly 10 just fine. Parking around SLU is a bit tricky. There's street parking, but I bet it's probably for only up to 2 hours ($1.50-$2/hr I'm guessing). There's a parking lot right outside of this place, but it's probably more expensive per hour. SOOooo...come on a Sunday when there are no street parking restrictions.

    Summer lovin'!

    I've kayaked on Lake Union a few times now. Compared to other rental shops, Moss Bay exceeded expectations. The customer service was great--staffed full of friendly faces. Located on the south end of Lake Union, it was the perfect place to capture the skyline of downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, and Gas Works (all in an hour). Other Pros: Beginner friendly, which was good because I was with Mom (an inexperience kayaker). They provided a large waterproof bag for personal belongings. The price was cheaper: $24/hour for a double ($12/person if split). Fees are prorated 1/4 an hour after the first hour. Cons: Expensive paid parking--$9.81 for 2 hours.

    Diego and the crew were so friendly and knowledgeable! My first time kayaking and I will definitely come back to Moss Bay!

    Even though I had trouble getting back I would highly recommend this place. You can also ask them where the sleepless in Seattle house is, it's like 30 mins away from the dock. A lot of fun. Would go back.

    We rented two kayaks and two paddle boards this week and had a great time! We showed up right when they opened at 10 AM and were out on the lake within 15 minutes. The service was great, all the kids that work here are super friendly and cheery. My daughter had never kayaked before and I'm no expert, so I do wish the gal could have explained maneuvering a bit more - but she figured it out after some frustration. I like that they pro-rate to the nearest quarter hour on rentals too. They let me take my 4 year old in the single kayak and it worked out great...the lake is beautiful and fun to explore! We were out for almost two hours and it was the perfect amount of time!

    You should definitely try and come early as sometimes they run out of the equipment you want and have to wait. I got a single kayak and it's $16/hr. I like where they are located because you are already on the water with a view whereas other kayak rental places are on the other side of the lake and you have to go far to get to gas works or view the space needle.

I did this tour for the first time over 10 years ago and was pleased that it wasn't exactly the same places we stopped at before. Plus, it reminded me to go back and support businesses that I had forgotten about and to continue exploring the market and to come back often because this place is truly a gem and worthy of our support for being 100% local and run by small business owners. Today was a perfect afternoon well spent :-)

You also get to hear about the city's history and key industries. The ride overall is pretty smooth, and my husband, who gets motion sickness, was totally fine. The boat when docked can experience a little more motion, however, so your mileage may vary. We also found it easy to get seats with good views, and the guides were easy to hear anywhere on the boat. The crew were friendly and engaging, and Angelo and the other staff were very kind to us when my husband and I mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary.

The tour started much later in the evening so bring a coat! We got there a little early so we were able to browse the museum, which was fairly tiny but interesting. Our tour guide was Kim and she was a joy to be around. She really knows how to tell a story and keeps you involved in the tour. (Listening to evps, watching videos, asking questions) Our tour group was small but it made the whole experience feel much more personal. We walked all around Pioneer Square and visited haunted locations. My favorite stop was at the "Merchant Cafe". We actually entered and sat in their underground lounge. It was very spooky and took a few pictures to see if I could spot anything. The whole tour was made even spookier by the actual buildings around us. The mixture of older historical buildings and closed/abandoned buildings. Beware it is rundown and many homeless people but they keep to themselves. And I also felt something push my back during one of the stops. The guide was telling us about a specific spirit that was known for being "grabby" with women. Haha yikes. 4th ghost tour I've been on and excited to do more. Surprisingly I'm still a skeptic!

    I wanted to review the tours I went on separately. This review is for the Olympic National Park Day…read moreTour. I went on this tour on 5/13/2026. I cannot say enough amazing things about this Olympic National Park tour experience. From start to finish, this was hands down one of the best guided experiences I've ever had and one I will remember for a long time. We visited Hurricane Ridge, the Elwha area, Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls, and several additional scenic stops throughout the day, and every single location was absolutely breathtaking. The landscapes were stunning, but what truly elevated this experience was the way the entire day was curated and paced. Nothing ever felt rushed. We had time to really take in the scenery, walk around, take photos, learn, and fully experience each stop before moving on to the next. Our guide Evan was phenomenal. Incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about the ecosystem, history, geology, and ecology of Olympic National Park. Listening to him explain how the landscapes were formed, how the ecosystems function, and the history behind the region made the entire experience feel so much deeper and more meaningful. It honestly made me want to continue learning more after the tour ended. What also stood out was how well he created an atmosphere for the group. During the drive, everyone introduced themselves and shared a little about where they were from, which made the group feel comfortable and connected. On the ride back, he had everyone share songs that had personal meaning to them, and we talked about why we chose them. It turned what could have just been a long drive into a genuinely memorable and human experience. Even the lunch setup was beautifully organized and thoughtfully presented. Every detail throughout the day felt intentional and well done. The ferry ride, the mountains, the forests, the rivers, the waterfalls, the lakes, it was all unforgettable. Olympic National Park is stunning on its own, but having such an incredible guide and such a well-executed tour made this experience truly exceptional. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Seattle/Olympic area. Easily a 10/10 experience.

Martin W. was our tour guide on this expedition and he was exceptional!!! Friendly and down to earth and extremely knowledgeable as well. He really did add another layer to this trip and made you feel comfortable and well-taken cared of. My daughter was a little apprehensive about going as she didn't know what to expect, however, this was also the highlight of her trip as well. I truly wish we had more time to explore what Olympic National Park has to offer, however, if you are on a time crunch and are unfamiliar with the area, this is easily the best way to get a taste of the park. In addition, they also pick you up right from your hotel and also provide coffee, drinks and an exceptional catered lunch! After picking us up and taking the ferry across to Bainbridge (a cool experience itself) it's a bit of a drive to get over to the Port Angeles area where we stopped at the Visitor Center, however, there is lots to see and learn on the way. Fortunately the road was open to get to Hurricane Ridge and we got to experience some snowshoeing (first time we had ever done this) and it was awesome! Not too tiring and for those who might struggle you are given the choice to stay back if you had wanted to (BUT WHY WOULD YOU!!!) We then headed down the mountain and stopped off for some sightseeing and another little walk to stretch the legs and then we headed to our next stop. Wish I can remember the name of the place, however, it was an incredible spot to explore as Martin set up for our catered lunch. It was located right next to a river that had some cool atmospheric mist slowly creeping through. There was also an easy little trail which took you through lush vegetation & moss covered trees to a free-flowing waterfall. It was just stunning and honestly you didn't want to leave. Eventually we headed to our final stop at Cresent Lake. Just wow!! The lake had a bit of a moody feel, however, it was just beautiful and the hike through to get there was just insanely gorgeous and just magical. Words and pictures alone can't do this place justice. It's just something you have to EXPERIENCE!!! One of the other highlights was the trip back on the ferry. It offers up an impressive and unique view of the Seattle cityscape all lit up as you relax and reminisce on the day. Truly wish we had more time in Seattle, as I would without hesitation want to book all of the tours that Evergreen Escapes offer and I imagine each experience is unique depending on what time of year you go as well.
