Your Itinerary

Ruby Beach

We'll either start or end our day at Ruby Beach, depending on the tides. Your guide will lead you through and educational exploration of the intertidal zone and its truly fascinating wildlife. Most people walk by some of these areas without ever realizing that an entire universe is alive beneath their feet! You'll never look at starfish the same way again...

Hoh Rain Forest

We'll take an approximate 4 mile hike along the Hoh River. We'll escape the crowds by hiking along one of the less traveled paths in the area. Along the way, your expert guide will explain why this area is so unique and answer questions about this one-of-a-kind ecosystem. We'll be taking our time to really look at the thousands of species around us!

Big Cedar Tree Kalaloch

Pay a visit to this truly amazing tree. An unbelievably massive conifer, this 1000 year old tree was struck by lightening in 2014. It's now a perfect example of the cycle of life as parts of it now serve as a home for new tree saplings.

Tree of Life

See the beautiful and resilient "Tree of Life." This beautiful tree, just barely clinging on by its roots and seemingly floating is the perfect place to learn about the formation of this ever-changing coastline. Your guide will tell you all about its formation and how this landscape may change in the next million years.

Khajidah was our guide and we had an action packed day, plus a great lunch. We got to the Hoh Rain Forest before the crowd and as we were the only ones on this early in the season tour, we set the agenda. We walked the Hall of Mosses and Spruce Trails before hiking the Hoh River Trail for a while. Then it was back to the parking lot where Khajidah quickly spread a picnic lunch, complete with tablecloth and on a damp day we had sandwiches, chips, veggies, and fruit. What a treat! Then it was on to Ruby Beach and a walk along the seashore at low tide. Then it was off to Big Cedar for the end of our trip. At the end Kahjidah apologized for keeping us past the alotted time. It was her clock that had ended not ours, and she had a three hour drive back to Tacoma. Would recommend this trip to anyone !

This tour was remarkable & our guide Lauren was amazing. We visited 3 locations Hoh rain Forest in Olympic National Park, Beach 4, and The Big Ceder Tree. Lauren guided us from the time she picked us up till the time of drop off with so much information. It was a perfect trail she picked up to the waterfall on the Hoh Rainforest trail up to a waterfall. Along the way she had a trail picked to a beautiful spot in the Hoh River. Along the way she had wonderful info about the eco system of the forest. Beach 4 was a fabulous stop. Lauren had planned a perfect time of day when the tide was low and we hit some fabulous tide pools. After Beach 4, we headed to the Big Ceder Tree… an amazing 1,000 year old tree that was astonishing to look at. This tour was so worth it! Thanks for the amazing experience!!!

This was a great company with great service. Beau was our hiking guide and he texted days before to see what drinks we would like for the long day and he picked us up right outside our hotel at Forks Motel. The two biggest take always from the experience were 1. Beau was the perfect tour guide! He was extremely knowledge and personable. He made great conversation along the way and let you set the pace. His love for the outdoors and nature came across in all the interesting facts he had about the surrounding ecosystem. We learned all about the nurse logs and the colonnades among other fun facts but you will have to book yourself to learn the rest. 2. Although it is obvious it’s still important to emphasize; Nature preservation is vital. Be aware of your surroundings, and each organism, no matter how small plays a big roll!

We had such a great time exploring ONP with our guide Beau! Our guide picked us up at our hotel (2.5 hours away), brought snacks & water, and had a thorough knowledge of all the stops along the way! We saw amazing ocean life during low tide, the tree of life, Ruby Beach, HOH Rain Forest & Big Cedar, etc We stopped at an awesome lunch spot and then were back off to explore more of ONP. I had shared that it was my son’s 25th birthday and our guide brought a cake that he unveiled at the last stop! It was awesome! A very memorable day for both of us. Thank you!

We were so lucky that we found Good Trip Adventures. We enjoyed a whole day with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Beau. He catered to our wants and needs and took us to places we would never have found ourselves. They quickly responed to questions beforehand. We definitely recommend them and will reach out for any of our future tours.

My partner and I were traveling to the area and wanted a tour that would really allow us to learn about Olympic. This tour was just that! Our guide, Lauren, really opened our eyes to so much that we would have missed otherwise. From the plants in the rainforest to the creatures in the tidepools, there was so much we learned about! The day was perfectly timed and full of laughs.
