AMAZING! I wish I had selected all of the peninsula tours offered, but my time in the area was short. This one did not disappoint. I would use this company again in a heart beat. Thanks Eric for an excellent adventure.

This was a waste of money and time. This trip was suppose to be 4 hours- however it turned out to take 40 minutes each way to get to and from Hurricane Ridge. Our guide took us for a short hike that was maybe an hour. He then brought us to a spot for a rest. He said he would return after a bathroom stop however he ended up taking a hike on his own and came back 40 minutes later. We didn’t know if he left us stranded there or not. We wasted $170 on a very short walk that we could have easily done on our own. The hiking company even used our senior National Park pass to enter which in turn saved them money. I don’t know how it was determined this hike was worth $170-which I wish I had back!

Hi Margaret, I’m sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations. I reviewed and received your feedback and have already issued a full refund on our end prior to this review after your first email to us. We want to provide positive memories for travelers exploring Olympic National Park and I understand that we didn’t meet your goals Sunday afternoon. I hope the rest of your trip to the Pacific Northwest goes well.

It was a perfect day for a visit. The visibility was excellent, a few cumulus decorated the mountains. We did go on several trails (some were even paved). It’s a must see park if one is within driving distance.
