What To Expect
Seaside
We will drive down Broadway, pointing out the Gilbert District and its vibrant, thriving restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and antique stores. The historic district is home to more than 30 local businesses. During the tour, we will share fun facts, such as the bar built from a jail, the largest screen for watching the big game, and the reputedly spookiest tavern and why it has that reputation. We will also point out The End of the Lewis and Clark Trail, the Promenade trails, the most popular festivals, and beach clean-up activities.
Tillamook Head National Recreation Trail
Tillamook Head is one of the best hikes on the Oregon Coast. We will guide you to the trailhead for a photo and provide details about the trail, its length, and the sights you will see if you decide to take on the challenge. At the top, hikers can enjoy a great view of the retired Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. On the Drive down see the Cove, The sailors grave, and Painted Rock beach.

5.00Best tour ever! The guide knows everything about the areas. She told us all the stories about the places that we visited and the movies that were filmed in the areas. Very organized and very knowledgeable. Very personable and very friendly. Me and my wife will never forget such a great adventure that Katie provided for us! Katie spent with us about 9-10 hours, a combination of driving and walking tour. If you are thinking of visiting Astoria and the surroundings, you have to book a full day tour with Katie! AMAZING. Thank you Katie!

5.00Katie our tour guide was amazing. She tailored our tour to our interests of beaches, nature and wildlife. We even got to see a family of Elk crossing the the road in front of us. If we are back in the area we will certainly book again Katie again with Onward Adventures.

5.00I didn't know what to expect on this all day tour experience, but it was a blast. Katie was an exceptional guide and drove with care around Astoria's windy streets and knew the history, not only there but Warrenton and Seaside. Beautiful time walking on the beach, got Gelato and played some pinball and air hockey! In the Astoria portion I met a lady from Japan and a UK couple. People come from all over the world. On my day, Oct 29 I saw deer, elk, sea lions, geese and a bald eagle. Don't miss it. Tonya
Fun and informative tour.

5.00We loved our tour. The best part was seeing all the things we didn't know existed in the area and getting to go back to explore further, both this trip and the next.

5.00This is a day we will cherish forever. From River Falls all the way to Cannon Beach and everything in between, it was an incredible experience. When I first looked into visiting the area, I was overwhelmed by how to fit everything we wanted to see and do into a timely manner. We spent 10 hours with Katie, who is incredible—polite, inquisitive, and responsive. In that time, we accomplished what I can only imagine would have taken us a week to navigate on our own. This allowed us the opportunity, in the days following our tour, to go back and dive deeper into the highlights. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Book it with the assurance that you’re going to have the most awesome day ever!

5.00Our tour guide Katie was very knowledgeable about the entire area and was able to answer every question my 14 year old could throw at her. Lol. The vehicle is very comfortable. This tour is so informative. It is a must to do at the beginning of your vacation or if you are moving to this beautiful area. Our guide went above and beyond any expectations you might have.
The Best OR Coast Tour! Friendly & Informative!

5.00Katie was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She has a true knowledge of Astoria and the surrounding areas and will teach you a bunch of things probably no one else knows about the town & give you a local take on the best restaurants, bars, and activities. We had a great day touring Astoria, Warrenton, and Seaside with a full itinerary of the most notable places to check out. Book this for the most complete tour of the area and the friendliest host!

5.00I was so fortunate to have found Katie!!! I was the only person on the tour that day, but that didn’t deter her. She welcomed me and said that she loved solos because she could get one-on-one feedback. Lucky me.☺️ We visited a lot of places, and each one was interesting and beautiful in its own way. I let Katie know that I loved history and was not much interested in breweries, and so she tailor-made the tour to my taste. She picked me up on time from my hotel in Seaside, and we started the tour with a visit to the Lewis and Clark Saltworks. The tour lasted 7 hours and we visited several places like the Painted Rock Beach in Seaside, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park ( Fort Clatsop), Shively Park, Flavel House Museum, Pier 39 Cannery Museum, Fort Stevens, Peter Iredale Shipwreck, South Jetty, and Battery Russel. She drove extensively through Astoria to show me various landmarks and lovely houses while explaining the history of Astoria in an engaging and lively manner. Katie made me feel so comfortable and relaxed that it was almost like sitting next to a knowledgeable and close friend who was driving me around and showing me the sights of Oregon’s gorgeous North Coast. I really appreciate that she took me to so many wonderful places that I would otherwise never have seen. Katie is just the nicest person and an amazing tour guide, and I couldn’t ask for anything more! I highly recommend Onward Adventures, and Katie is the best!!!
