Better than expected - Skagit Valley - This trip was much more than I expected. I mean birding in winter in Washington can be daunting. Our guide, Dan, made numerous stops to hit up different kinds of bird habitats. Adam was a great birder and not pushy or loud about what he saw. They put the best birds in the scope. Even my husband who isn't a birder enjoyed it. Weather cooperated and clothing suggestions were spot-on. I highly recommend Evergreen Escapes for your next outing.

Excellent tour!!! - My daughter, her partner, and I thoroughly enjoyed our excursion with Matthew Card. The hike was great, and Matthew even brought walking sticks, snacks, drinks, and a picnic lunch for our group of 9 on this trip. Matthew brought binoculars for the whale-watching tour at Anacortes also—many thanks! I was using his binoculars when four Orcas decided to breach. Wonderful tour, wonderful tour guide. Highly recommend!

Beautiful hike and excellent picnic - The tour was amazing and every place we visited was beautiful. Evan was very knowledgeable and passionate about the local wildlife and ecosystems. He made us a delicious picnic and let us choose a few places to visit at the end. I highly recommend this tour!

This Winter Experience is a Must! - I took a mid winter trip to Seattle and had a free day to do something outside the city. I chose this tour because I liked the balance between outdoor experiences in the Skagit Valley and Deception Pass and the history aspects at the military fort and local farms. We were able to see so many birds at the first stop - large white swans in the hundreds- took a beautiful morning hike along a trail at the park, and enjoyed some delicious fruit wines at the last stop. We had Dan as our guide, who was so knowledgeable about everything we were seeing, especially all the birds(!!) and really made this experience a day we will never forget. My friends and I really enjoyed exploring the old fort where you can wander through all of the bunkers, it really takes you back in time! I would recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun outing from Seattle with a little bit of hiking, a little bit of history, a little bit of wildlife sightings and a lot of amazing views! Thanks Dan and Evergreen Escapes for an amazing day trip!
