Olympic National Park Tour from Seattle

Overview

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 approximately six miles.

Olympic National Park is beautiful, its beyond words to describe the beauty. You should definitely visit if you are in the area. But go with a different tour company. Couple of reasons, first, there are high chances that you will be left behind even if you get back on time after you were asked to explore the stop yourself, because rest of the group arrived before time (keep in mind there is no cell service in the park). Added, if you are slow hiker then you could fall behind without a trail map during group hikes. Second, the guide will spend lot of time at stops during the morning and will rush through the attractions in the afternoon. Its not timed well, and afternoon is when you will be at some of the most scenic places. My advise, make sure you have a trail map if you go on hike. And carry your belongings with you at all times and don't leave them in the vehicle. If the tour decides to leave you behind, it will not be that difficult to return to your hotel.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you felt your tour guide rushed the tour. It's good to know that even though you mentioned several times of being left behind you were not, nor anyone else with the group. If you would like to discuss your personal experience more please give our office a call as we would like to discuss further. Thank you.
