Hoh Rain Forest and Rialto Beach Guided Tour in Olympic National Park

Overview
This 9 Hour Tour begins with a two-hour shuttle into the Hoh Rain Forest, one of the largest temperate rain forests in the contiguous USA. At the Hoh Rain Forest, guests typically have two full hours to explore the Hall of Mosses and Spruce Nature Trail on a Naturalist Guided Hiking Tour. Our guide will overview the natural history of the Hoh Rain Forest, identify various micro-plants, and showcase the top viewing areas. The endless moss-laden scenery and towering old-growth evergreens are breathtaking.

After a scheduled stop in Forks, we spend the afternoon on the Pacific Coast at Rialto Beach. At Rialto, guests generally have one or two hours to explore this beautiful section of wilderness coast amongst massive sea stacks, driftwood logs, and the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Overall, guest can expect 3-4 hours of sightseeing with about 4-5 hours of drive time roundtrip from our Port Angeles meet-up location.

Hoh Rain Forest
Upon arrival at the Hoh Rain Forest, our naturalist hiking guide will lead a 2 mile guided hike along the scenic nature loops up to 2 miles. During the hike, guests will be face-to-face with 300 foot tall old growth Sitka Spruce trees, sword ferns covering the forest floor, and a wide variety of vivid-greenĀ vegetation. After the rain forest hike, there will be time allocated for a picnic lunch.

Forks
To split up our drive from the Hoh Rain Forest to Rialto Beach, we will do a 20-30 minute scheduled stop at Forks Outfitters. This is a great place to pick-up lunch snacks, coffee, or a quick souvenir.

At Rialto Beach, guests will walk alongside towering sea stacks, massive driftwood logs, and watch the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.

The tour guides were so funny and kind as well as very intelligent. I loved the entire experience and learned a lot about Washington nature and wildlife. I wish there was more hiking involved but it was a fun day experience.

There was no one else who booked the tour. However, they didn’t cancel the tour and took me on a private tour! I have never had that before and appreciate it a lot! Tour was super amazing and the guide was very flexible and did the tour accordingly to my wish (e.g. how far I wanted to hike, if I wanted more information or just enjoy the nature silently, if I needed a bathroom stop,..) . We also stoped at Lake Crescent for a quick pick. Iā€˜m really thankful for the gorgeous day!

A tour with Olympic Hiking Co. is confirming a good experience. The check in experience is easy, and the information provided makes it easy to be prepared for the days activities. Trevor is helpful in making everyone feel welcome before leaving on the adventure. Our guide Eric made Olympic National Park come alive. He took the time to find out what we were interested in, and talked with interest with us throughout the day. We learned about the flora and fauna, local folklore, customs, and various other topics. An amazing day. I highly recommend Olympic Hiking Company for your National Park adventures.
