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.

Loved this trip! It was a lot of time in the bus, but the 3 stops in the park were worth it! Cory did a nice job of balancing narrating the trip and just quiet time. He also handled unavoidable bumps in the trip well (delayed ferry and boat crossing bridge)!

This was the highlight of our trip. We went to Hurricane Ridge, Tongur Point and Lake Crescent. Cory was an excellent guide/driver giving us nature lessons and poi ting out interesting facts along the way about Native Americans, wildlife, trees, etc. He also went above and beyond in helping me retrieve my jacket I left behind on the tour bus. I would highly recommend this tour.
