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.

This tour was more than I could ask for. I traveled solo to Seattle and I wanted to visit the parks but I didnt want to go alone. Joel my tour guide was AMAZING! He paired me up with another solo female traveler and he provided all of us water and drinks. The ferry ride was beautiful, and although it was a lot of driving, the park was stunning. It was my first national park so I was blown away. Highly recommend this trip, it was worth every penny.

Thank you for the fantastic review! Our guides try to keep an eye out for our passengers that are traveling alone. I am glad Joel was able to pair you up with someone and you were able to experience our outstanding state parks. Hope to see you again soon for one of our other tours. Best regards-

Joel was fantastic, so kind and accommodating to all passengers, and provided interesting information about the sites and good tips for where to go in Seattle. The views of Olympus, the rainforest, and the waterfall were beautiful, and even though there was no low tide on the day of our tour, he managed to still get us a walk on a beautiful beach. Highly recommend this tour!
