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.

Most of the time had to be spent on the road because of the distance from Seattle - so the trip should have been two days with more sites included. The guide needed to rush through the tour. He should spend more time at near the mountains and less time at the lake.

Unfortunately it's not something we can split into two days, so we do make the most out of the day. Thank you for your feedback, as we do not usually hear this type of tour being rushed. The itinerary changes daily depending on road closures, weather, tide forecast. We appreciate you touring with us.

This was hands down the highlight of my short trip to Seattle. Every stop was well planned out, but had the flexibility the switch it up so we could see things at better times (when the tide was low, and the clouds were out of the mountains) and I appreciated that Joel offered a group hike at the stops or you could do what you wanted. He also was always there to snap a photo for me whenever I needed as well. As a solo traveler I rarely get any photos of myself. I learned a lot throughout my trip and can't wait to take the other tours they offer next time I visit! I highly recommend this trip!
