Maggi Smit • 3 January 2018

Here are a few of the more unusual yet popular tours to enjoy on a visit to the beautiful and much filmed city of Seattle on the Pacific Northwest coast of the USA--- with direct daily flights non-stop from the UK on British Airways and Delta Airlines or one stop via Reykjavik on Icelandair and a range of other airlines.


Seattle’s Underground world
Seattle was originally built 12-20 feet lower than it stands today. Check out Bill Speidel’s Underground Tour and get a whole new perspective on the history, dirt and scandal of the underground city of Seattle.


Paddle Seattle!
From the Puget Sound to Lake Washington, from Elliott Bay to Green Lake there are beautiful water-scapes all over the city. Get fit and see the city from the water, renting a Stand Up Paddle Board.


Cook up a treat in Seattle
Tour Pike Place Market with a chef and learn to cook in a cookery class too.


“Flightsee” Seattle
Check out the city from a seaplane on a ‘Flightseeing’ experience taking off from downtown’s Lake Union. Or head out for whale watching adventures on San Juan Islands, up to Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, over to the nearby Olympic Peninsula national park or charter a seaplane for fishing and other experiences.


Washington state is in the Pacific Northwest where Seattle crowns the state and regular cruises head to Alaska. Seattle is a city where art and nature meet and foodie’s fantasies come true. The ocean backcloth is the Olympic Peninsula Mountains and beautiful islands where whale watching and boating or kayaking experiences await. Washington State has over 800 wineries offering tasting experiences, three national parks (Mt. Rainier/Olympic Peninsula/North Cascades), mountain ranges and rainforests of bearded mossy, massive girthed trees. It’s a state of spectacular contrasts and great fly-drive holidays with a choice of direct non-stop daily flights into Seattle’s SeaTac International airport.
