Seattle Harbor Tour & Sky View Seattle Tickets at Sky View Observatory

Seattle Harbor Tour & Sky View Seattle

Experience Seattle from two spectacular vantage points with this combination tour that takes you across Elliott Bay and up to the highest public viewpoint in the Pacific Northwest. This package pairs a one-hour narrated harbor cruise with access to the Sky View Observatory on the 73rd floor of Columbia Center, giving you a complete perspective of the Emerald City.

Your harbor cruise glides through Elliott Bay with live commentary about Seattle's maritime history, architecture, and waterfront landmarks. From the water, you'll see the downtown skyline, historic piers, and surrounding mountain ranges from a unique angle. The boat offers both open-air deck space and comfortable indoor seating, plus an onboard bar for drinks and light refreshments.

At Sky View Observatory, you'll ascend to Seattle's tallest building for panoramic views stretching across the city, Puget Sound, and on clear days, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. Interactive exhibits and multiple viewing platforms let you explore at your own pace while identifying landmarks far below.

Good to Know

The harbor cruise lasts approximately one hour, while you can spend as much time as you like at Sky View Observatory. Both attractions are located in downtown Seattle for easy access between venues. The cruise offers both indoor and outdoor seating options to suit any weather conditions.

Please note that these attractions are not fully wheelchair accessible. Arrive early for the cruise to secure the best deck positions for photos and viewing. Keep your ticket ready for entry at both locations, and supervise children carefully around water and at height. Drinks and light snacks are available for purchase onboard the cruise vessel.

This combination works particularly well with other Seattle experiences like the Space Needle observation deck, which you'll spot from both the harbor and Sky View Observatory. For those wanting to explore more of Seattle's waterfront after your cruise, consider adding a visit to the Seattle Aquarium at Pier 59.
