Explore Seattle & the Pacific Northwest with a Passionate Local Guide Hello and welcome! I’m Carsten, a Seattle-based private guide offering exclusive, customizable tours of Seattle, the Olympic Peninsula, and the Cascade Mountains. My guiding philosophy is simple: Ethical. Authentic. Adventurous. I first came to the Pacific Northwest in 1993 and instantly fell in love with its wild beauty and diverse culture. After a rewarding career as an Airline Captain, I traded the cockpit for the great outdoors, guiding travelers through the places I love most. From vibrant city neighborhoods to hidden mountain trails and quiet coastal inlets, I enjoy revealing the stories, history, and natural wonders that make this region truly unique. With extensive local knowledge and years of experience leading tours in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, I focus on small-group, personalized experiences where travelers can relax, learn, and have fun at their own pace. I believe that smaller groups connect more deeply, with the destination and with each other. As a licensed and insured Guide, and Expedition Leader, Wilderness First Responder your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are always my top priorities. I’m also a photographer and lifelong adventurer, so I’ll make sure you discover the best views and leave with incredible photos and memories. My goal is simple: to create a day so enjoyable that by the end, we feel more like friends than guide and guest. All tours are fully customizable, whether you’re looking for an active outdoor adventure, a scenic drive, or an in-depth cultural experience, I’ll tailor the itinerary to match your interests and pace. Qualifications: Outdoor Guide | Bear Guard | Wilderness First Responder | Wilderness Safety Leader | Expedition Guide | Arctic Guide | Licensed Chauffeur | commercial vehicle insurance Let’s plan your unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience together!
