Private Snoqualmie Falls Tour
Your private Snoqualmie Falls experience begins with pickup in downtown Seattle, followed by a scenic drive east through the Snoqualmie Valley. During the approximately 45-minute journey, your guide will share stories about the region’s history, natural landscapes, and the communities that helped shape the Pacific Northwest.
Our first stop is the historic Snoqualmie Depot, one of Washington State’s most significant railroad landmarks. Here, you can explore the outdoor railway museum, view historic train cars and equipment, and enjoy a leisurely walk through the beautifully maintained gardens surrounding the depot.
We then continue to Snoqualmie Falls, one of the most visited natural attractions in Washington State. Upon arrival, enjoy spectacular views from the upper observation deck located next to the iconic Salish Lodge & Spa. The falls plunge 268 feet into the Snoqualmie River below, creating one of the most photographed landscapes in the Pacific Northwest.
From the upper viewpoint, guests who enjoy walking may choose to descend the scenic staircase trail toward the lower falls viewpoint. This approximately one-mile round-trip hike winds through a beautiful forest setting and provides a unique perspective of the waterfall from river level. Guests who prefer a more relaxed experience can enjoy additional time at the upper viewpoints or drive to nearby viewing areas when available.
Before departing, there will be time to visit the café and gift shop located near the falls. Decorated with beautiful Native American-inspired artwork and regional design elements, this stop offers local souvenirs, handcrafted gifts, coffee, snacks, and additional scenic views overlooking the waterfall.
After exploring Snoqualmie Falls, we begin the approximately 45-minute drive back to Seattle, completing a relaxing and memorable journey through one of Washington’s most scenic destinations.
