Great Tour. Good for most activity levels. Company was friendly and responsive. Our guide Daniel was knowlegable, friendly and accomadating. I am a large, mobility challenged individual and Daniel kept the pace perfect for me. His knowlege of the history and flora was extensive. A nice relaxing drive with many beautiful views. Well done

This tour is so so so worth it! Was a bit scared to go solo but ended up having great conversations with our small group. Our guide was super nice, fun and full of knowledge. Rialto Beach was such a nice surprise! As for the Hoh forest, it was absolutely unreal. I didn't want to leave! Bonus points for all the little photo stops we did with Twilight-related signs and points of interest around Forks :)

We had limited time in Port Angeles and thought a guided tour would be the best option. We couldn't have chosen better! Our guide, Oscar, is a native of the area, and very knowledgeable. He is also made sure we had a lot of fun. Since it was a private tour, Oscar tailored it to what we wanted to see. The mild rain we had only added to the experience. The Rain Forest is incredible and a must see if you are in the Olympic Peninsula. Be aware of the time of the year and the forecast --make sure you wear appropriate hiking gear as there were a number of muddy places on the trail, and we climbed over a few wet trees. Oscar was very safety conscience, and made sure we were able to navigate over and around any obstacles. The only disappointment was that the road to Rialto Beach was closed, and we didn't get down there. We did go to First Beach instead, and got some incredible stormy ocean photos. Oscar also recommended other places to hike that are accessible from Port Angeles. I would highly recommend the Olympic Hiking Co to anyone interested in hiking in the Olympic Nat'l Forest.

It was a perfect tour and the stops were great with hiking and great learning and photo opportunities. The weather was perfect, sunny and clear, more than we could ask for. Our tour guide Eric was amazing - super knowledgeable, friendly, initiating discussions, pointing out details and answering questions! Olympic Touring Co’s small group size and transportation were perfect for the amazing Hoh Rain Forest and Rialto Beach tour.

I can’t recommend Olympic Hiking Co enough. I completed two of their tours and had a wonderful experience. They were so knowledgeable and kind and it was a great guided experience. After a lot of driving around the state, it was so nice to have all of this trip taken care of and they ensured we got to make the most of it. Book the tour!

The tour was incredible!!! Great people and our wonderful guide Eric. He was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of necessity breaks. Scenery was spectacular. Well planned. Only problem was that the windows of the van were dirty. A problem in the sun.

Our family group of seven had the best time with Oscar! On two separate days, he guided us through Olympic National Park. Oscar is a wealth of knowledge regarding the Pacific Northwest. He is from this area so we felt that we were in good hands. Our children were entertained, our picnic lunch secured in a cooler each day, and we went along for a ride and tour of a lifetime. Thank you for the memories! (Tip—Remember to pack plenty of water! There are plenty of bathrooms scattered around the area.)

This was the second time I've taken this tour, but it had been a couple of years. The guide for the day was Bob and he was great! He's a wealth of knowledge and history about the area. It also rained while we were in the Hoh Rainforest, which was an awesome experience.

My husband and I had a great day on this tour. Daniel was a knowlegeable tour guide and taught us many interesting facts. It was definitely worth going with someone who knew so much about the area. This hiking company has high expectations of who they hire, because the following day we did the Sol Duc Valley and Hurricane Ridge Tour with a different guide, Tracey, and she was also excellent. Both made sure all participants were focused on as individuals and getting what they had envisioned from the tour.
