Vi ville have været på val udflugt, men der var udsolgt. Vi bestilte denne dejlige 2 timers Cruise hvor man starter på pier 54 og ender i lake Union. Helt fantastisk natur bare omkring Seattle, hvor vi både så Søløver, Sæler og en laks springe op af vandet. Heftigt var det også at prøve en rigtig båd sluse. En oplevelse værd. Både Kaptajnen og tourguiden Emma var dygtige i deres viden og forklaring. Emma var sød og kyndig i alle spørgsmål der blev stillet fra os og andre. Kunne måske tænke mig lidt mere komfort på båden.. men ellers pænt og velholdt og rent.+3Posted on Google![]()

We booked our tour with Seattle CityPass. We arrived 30mins early with the intent to walk around the pier, but saw others lining up to check in so we did that too. The line grows very quickly, so we were glad we joined the line early. It rained during our tour, but we got to see a triple rainbow afterwards. Very faint to see in pictures, but noticeable in person. Recommend sitting on the right side of the boat so you can see the skyline of Seattle without having your view blocked by other tourists. You can also move around the boat when it's in motion. If I had to do my trip to Seattle from the beginning again, I'd do the boat tour first because they give you a lot of information about the city (and free tourist tips).+2Posted on Google![]()

This is a must do when you are in Seattle. To learn about parts of Seattle along the waterfront. And seeing the skyline from the harbour is great.Posted on Google![]()
