More about this experience
Olympic National Park is well known for having several different ecosystems to explore: subalpine forest, wildflower meadows, temperate rain-forest, and the rugged Pacific Shore. This twelve hour tour allows you to sample each of these systems with the added advantage of having an experienced guide to answer any questions that may arise. Come explore tide pools along the coastal beaches, roam among old-growth forest, trek atop mountain ridges with breathtaking vistas and stand by glacier-birthed rivers and lakes. The tour begins on a leisurely ferry boat ride over the Puget Sound to the Olympic Peninsula. The exact itinerary will be curated by the tour guide however our first stop will usually find us at Hurricane Ridge where you will hike to an incredible view of the valley below and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. We will move on to Crescent Lake and the seasonally Sol Duc Valley, and a sandy beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Please plan on walking six miles.

Kevin was a fun tour guide! He was able to squeeze a few extra stops making this a very worthwhile and unique experience. He was very accommodating, friendly and humorous! Worth the money!

This tour was amazing! Our guide, Kevin, was professional, perceptive, kind and personable. He kept us well informed of the areas we visited. He was funny and knowledgeable. He was patient and able to herd our diverse group and helped us forge friendships. I would highly recommend booking this excursion to the Olympics!

Olympic National Park Tour got canceled, and so I was rebooked to the Mt. Rainier National Park tour. I had a great time. Many thanks to a wonderful guide/driver Joel.

Book this tour! There is no better way to see all of the spectacular glory that the PNW has to offer. We were lucky enough to catch the salmon run and witness a bald eagle hunting on the beach. The old growth forest was magical in its ethereal splendor. A memorable experience made possible by our delightful and knowledgeable guide Kevin whose expertise of the land, humor and attentiveness made the experience unforgettable.

Despite the long journey, it was WORTH IT! The places we visited were so diverse that there’s something for everyone to enjoy and love. May it be the sea / water, the mountain or the view, all of it was breathtaking! I truly enjoyed the stops, and was made more fun by our guide, Kevin - who entertained us with a good mix of facts and legends. I would do this all over again! :)

Kevin was an awesome tour guide. He was personable and engaging, and tried to accommodate every question and request. This is a long day tour and have your walking/hiking boots on as you will definitely get your steps in. The views from Hurricane Ridge were amazing and definitely worth hiking up that incline. We had good weather and was able to see 4 - 5 sites. We had a great group of 8 on the tour and I enjoyed engaging with everyone. I would definitely book again.

Hurricane Ridge hike. Spectacular mountains views. Crescent Lake hike. Beach stop. Very nice tour guide

Went on this tour for my birthday, had a great time getting to see so many beautiful sights all over the Olympic Peninsula and the Olympic National Park. The team got in touch with me very early prior to pick up, to let me know of a small delay due to traffic. They remained in contact with me until the guide, Kevin, picked me up.
Kevin did an awesome job as our guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, easy to understand, helpful, and had dad jokes.
Although at points it felt like we were rushing to get to another stop, this was due to the fact that Kevin added an additional stop to our itinerary even after the late start. I do wish we could've spend more time at certain spots (The beach on the Strait Of Juan De Fuca, which was beautiful) as opposed to a long hike at Crescent Lake to see a small waterfall. Of course the grand finale and highlight of the tour was Hurricane Ridge, with the sunny sky providing some breathtaking views of the surroundings. It felt unreal to be standing at such high altitudes and seeing the Olympic Mountains on the distance.
Would definitely recommend the tour for anyone who would like to explore the enormous Park with a knowledgeable guide. However, there is a fairly large amount of walking and hiking, with some of the trails being quite steep, so probably wouldn't be the best tour for someone with limited physical mobility.

Kevin was our tour guide on 9/29/23 and provided us with one of the best tours we've been on and we've taken plenty! He was knowledgeable of the area's history and landscape and shared enough to keep the day interesting. He was efficient with our time management and that allowed us to see a couple of extra stops. He was jovial and pleasant to talk with and seemed interested in learning about his customers as well. Kevin has a great personality for this type of work. We totally enjoyed the day and would welcome the chance to take another tour with Kevin as our guide. We learned a lot and saw everything we wanted to when we booked the tour. GREAT job!
