Olympic National Park Tour from Seattle in Seattle booking from $239.00

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 walking six miles.

Our guide who also our driver provided us with nice and useful commentary. Within a day, we experienced ferry rides (with the bonus of seeing orcas), waterfall, trekking, mountain views, rain forest draped in moss, sea shore... The most amazing was Hurricane Ridge & the views of snow capped mountains. Good to die for. Recommended to those who are reasonably fit and can walk 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long (one-way) with an elevation gain of about 700 feet (200 m) - about 50 stories of a building.
