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 company is absolutely amazing; Starting from booking a trip to the end of the trip it has been 5 stars (I wish there were more stars to give). Desiree was amazing helping me book this 12 hr Olympic Park trip and answered all my questions with patience, kindness, and professionalism (you made my day!) Joel, our guide for the trip, made our experience absolutely amazing and enjoyable. Even though the trip was very long and had many stops, Joel was happy to answer any and every question any of us had (There were seven of us in the bus). Joel was very mindful of the weather (and time) and planned all stops around it, which is why we had great ferry rides, had an absolutely perfect view of Hurricane Ridge, Crescent Lake, had awesome forest walk, enjoyed waterfalls, and the beach. Joel, you rock - thank you for all the stories about animals, culture, nature and Big Foot! As a great ending of our tour, Joel offered us a ride to the airport (we were running almost late for our plane) - how nice was that?THANK YOU!! Your kindness is very much appreciated! To sum up, Throughout the years and many travels, my husband and I went on many trips/excursions. This one stands apart as the best we’ve ever had because of the planning, professionalism and the value of experience.

Great Tour! 12 hours, 3 different environments (snowy mountain top, forest with waterfalls, and a beach with tide pools), and some of the best views you could imagine. Excellent way to make memories of a lifetime.

I was lucky enough to have the business owner Joel take on us on our Olympic National Park tour. He was knowledgeable about all the areas we visited, made our group feel welcomed, and he was very kind and funny. In addition, this tour will have a lot of driving involved and Joel did a wonderful job keeping us safe and engaged in conversation during the drive time. Forewarning - it will be a super long day but worth it. I was quite disappointed our group was not able to see Hurricane Bridge due to it being so foggy (gloomy and rainy weather forecasted for that day) however Joel took us to another hiking area near Crescent Lake with a gorgeous waterfall. I do recommend those who are visiting Seattle to take one day of your time to go on this tour. Beautiful beautiful nature... *chefs kiss*

We are pleased that even with the change in the itinerary due to weather conditions Joel was still able to show your group a great time. Thank you for your review.
