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

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.

What To Expect

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-green 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.

Rialto Beach

During the afternoon, our tour group will enjoy a scenic stop at Rialto Beach along the Olympic Wilderness Coast. At Rialto Beach, guests will walk alongside towering sea stacks, massive driftwood logs, and watch the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Guests can either join a guided hike led by our naturalist hiking guide or can explore the coast at their own pace as time and tides permit.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

My spouse and I had a really great day exploring Olympic National Park. Adam was a wonderful tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the plants and animals we encountered. He allowed for ample time to see sights and we never felt rushed. I will highly recommend this tour to all my friends and family visiting the area.

This is my second tour with Olympic Hiking Co. In 2019, I did the afternoon at Hurricane Ridge with Tommy and had a great experience. This time, my friend and I had Adam as our tour guide and he was so awesome! He was knowledgeable and funny! I will keep recommending this tour company to all my friends.
