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.

Three friends on the coastal tour July 24th . We had a wonderful time! Perfect weather! Our tour guide Aaron was very informative, friendly, and helpful. The views were amazing! We loved the short hikes which gave us a chance to stretch our legs and get the perfect pictures. We all had an excellent time and would definitely recommend this tour. It will surely be one of the highlights of your Oregon trip. It is a small group tour in a comfortable van (ours had 10) so no long waits for loading and unloading and much more personal. You are on your own for an hour or so in the adorable little town of Cannon Beach which is full of colorful flowers, Quaint shops, beautiful beaches, and cafes with a variety of lunch and drink choices. Not sure if you can tell by the pics - but we had a unique experience of the a few low clouds drifting inland, giving us an interesting view. Aaron said it was even a new experience for him to watch the fog roll in in such a way. So interesting to watch!

Our tour guide was awesome. He was pleasant, personable, and made sure we were comfortable. I would take this tour again if we could have Aaron for our guide. He knew the area very well and could point out many things along the way that we would have missed if we were driving ourselves. Excellent!

I normally avoid any tour, but reluctantly took this one and really enjoyed it. The tour was well designed with a good comprehensive variety of stops and a reasonable amount of time at each one. but not too much. The guide was very knowledgeable on a variety of related topics. The guide did not give the feeling of being herded.
