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

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.

Haystack rock was amazing, even in the misty, cold rain. The town of Cannon is quaint and the tour guide did a great job pointing out the best spots to grab a hot coffee and good bite to eat. Oswald West was breathtaking and worth every penny paid for the tour. The short walk out to the beach was beautiful and the tour guide was awesome at pointing out foliage that shouldn’t be missed. It was awesome that it was cloudy and rainy. It made the feel of coastal Oregon so much more real! All in all, this tour was amazing in every way. I’m so glad I did it!

Beautiful, rugged coast and Pacific beaches. Guide was informative. Lots of good lunch options he explained well. Coast was MUCH cooler/colder than Portland (30 degrees lower and very windy adding to the chill). Believe the trip info, check forecast for Cannon Beach and definitely wear layers.

Our tour guide Chuck was very personable and knowledgeable. The tour was fun and the Oregon coast is beautiful. If you’re staying in Portland and you’d like to see the coast without having to rent a car and figure things out on your own, I would highly recommend this tour.
