The experience

The tour departs from the Hyatt Regency in downtown Seattle and travels through scenic farmlands toward Mount Baker, passing the first tulip and daffodil fields in Mt. Vernon as they come into color. The coach arrives at Roozengaarde, a family-owned bulb farm operating since the early 1700s in Holland and the United States, where you walk the display gardens and the large tulip field behind them. With 90+ tulip varieties planted alongside daffodils, hyacinths, crocus and specialty flowers, the gardens are built for photography and browsing the free catalog of over 140 bulb varieties available to order.

After two hours at the gardens, the coach heads to LaConner, a historic waterfront town rated "The Most Romantic Getaway" in Washington State. You have a midday break here to eat at highly rated restaurants (Nell Thorn serves polenta with gorgonzola and mushrooms, while Calico Cupboard Cafe offers sandwiches and cinnamon rolls), or to browse boutiques. Caravan Gallery stocks jewelry and textiles sourced from Bali and Thailand. The Wood Merchant carries over 300 unique wood products from independent craftspeople. The return journey to Seattle takes place in the afternoon, with drop-off at your hotel.

The tour operates in all weather and runs during the tulip bloom season. Wear casual clothes, good walking shoes and a jacket in case of rain or wind. A professional photographer guide provides live commentary throughout the day, and the air-conditioned coach includes hotel pickup and drop-off, so no separate transport to the starting point is needed.
