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.

This tour was absolutely AMAZING! Our guide, Parker, was awesome! He was SO knowledgeable about all of Oregon, and even gave us a great dinner recommendation for our last night in Portland. Cannon Beach was beautiful. The entire Oregon Coast is a must see. If you can request a tour guide beforehand, ask for Parker!

The weather was crazy rainy the whole week I went, but regardless, the tour ran, so I definitely wasn't going to back down from the experience. I went with Tyler on this trip, and he helped to keep us all entertained and informed the whole time. He was determined not to let weather ruin anything, so we went to all of the places, still got to see the sites, walked on the beach, and he handed out umbrellas for anyone needing them. Everyone agreed that despite weather conditions tour company is not mother nature, it was still a great tour.

Saw some beautiful sites. Tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. Weather was a little cool along the coast. Visited Cannon Beach, then Manzanita where we stopped for lunch at San Dune Pub, great fish taco's, stopped along the coastline for pictures and ended up at Tillamook where we indulged in some cheese and ice cream. Nice education center on cheese making and a fun gift shop.
