What To Expect

Director Park

Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.

Ecola State Park

After the morning drive along the Sunset Highway, Oregon's first automobile route through the Cascade Mountain Range, we'll meander through a lush Sitka spruce forest to Ecola State Park. We’ll momentarily leave the vehicle behind and explore this coastal oasis. If time allows, we may also travel back through the forest to Indian beach. This secluded pocket hides away from much of the summertime crowd and is a favorite spot for local beach combers.

Haystack Rock

After leaving the Ecola State Park, we will be sure to visit Haystack Rock, a sea stack just off the shore of Cannon Beach made famous by its resemblance to its namesake. Claimed to be the third tallest “intertidal” structure in the world, it is a huge basalt rock that was formed by lava flows over 15 million years ago! Here we’ll walk along the sandy beach, watch beautiful birds circle the rock, and if we’re lucky and the tide is out, we’ll view many species of marine wildlife in their natural tide pool habitat.

Cannon Beach

The town of Cannon Beach will be the backdrop of our lunch stop for the day. Guests will disperse for free time and are able to take their pick of several small-town eateries, each boasting their own eclectic menus.

Oregon Coast Highway 101

For the afternoon, we'll head south on the famous Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Highway 101) to explore more beautiful coastal shores.

Neahkahnie Mountain

Upon Neahkahnie Overlook, we’ll stop to enjoy stunning views along the highest drive-able point along the Oregon coast!

Oswald West State Park

We'll journey to Oswald West State Park, aptly named after the Oregon Governor Oswald West. Governor West is credited with ensuring our vast Oregon coastline would remain open for public use. Our stop in the state park will be tide and group dependent. We may opt to take a short, forested hike following along Short Sand Creek which opens to a driftwood stacked coastline known as Smugglers Cove. A variable from this stop may be a short visit to Hug Point if the tides are low. Here, we are typically able to walk around the point to view a small coastal waterfall!

Director Park

We'll the end the day arriving back to downtown Portland with a drop off back in Director Park.

Absolutely wonderful, well organized and so much fun! Our guide, Sam, was great. She was interesting and knowledgeable and so personable. I've traveled a lot but the views were amazing and unlike any I'd seen before. Oregon provided the basics but Sam transformed a handful of strangers into a group of friends! It was the highlight of my Portland vacation!

This tour was our favorite part of our 1st trip to Oregon. We had no idea that the Oregon coastline was so beautiful. Our stops seemed like hidden gems, with our guide, Dave, knowing all of the best vantage points to capture the best views and a great deal about the area. While a bit of fog kept the lighthouse under cover, the fog added dramatic dimensions to photos and was only noticeable during the early part of our day. We definitely have plans to return the the Oregon Coast. I would recommend this tour to anyone,
