What To Expect
1
Director Park
Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
Neahkahnie Mountain
Upon Neahkahnie Overlook, we’ll stop to enjoy stunning views along the highest drive-able point along the Oregon coast!
7
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!
8
Director Park
We'll the end the day arriving back to downtown Portland with a drop off back in Director Park.

Took this tour while in Portland. Everyone says the Oregon coast is beautiful and they are correct. The tour bus arrived on time with Clinton driving and Andy riding shotgun, as this was Clinton’s final test before being put on his own. We picked up 9 more people and were off for the coast. It was a beautiful 90 minute dive through the forests to an overlook of Haystack Rock. Andy was quite accommodating taking pictures of us and Clinton went into the brush to collect wild blackberries for us. Then, on to Cannon Beach to enjoy the views of Haystack Rock and the multi-million dollar homes along the beach. After this we had an hour to enjoy lunch in Cannon Beach. If you like pub food, try Bill’s. The fish and chips are highly recommended. Burgers are great too. Then, after lunch we went to another beach whose name eludes me and then on to Smugglers Cove where we had a 1/2 mile hike through the old growth forests and on to the cove. The Hemlock trees were huge and just unbelievable. You had time for a quick stroll in the waves, if you liked. Very pretty cove. This trip was great and the time went fast and they also do an all-day Mount Hood Tour. I might add that we had a Buddish monk on this trip that only spoke Chinese. Andy was very patient to narrate to him in his language using an online translator. Great job guys! The Las Vegans.

I had a great time. The coast was awesome. TJ was a great guide with tons of knowledge about the area and a good personality who connected to every person on the trip.

I joined a group of 11 other travelers for a day long visit to several coastal beaches and several nature walks through beautiful wooded areas. Our driver, TJ,is an Oregon native and his passion for the area was infectious. He shared a good deal of local information which was interesting. Stops were times well and flexibility for lunch on your own at Cannon Beach was great. Unfortunately a bit of fog limited our view of the Haystack rock, but overall a great excursion.
