Olympic National Park is well known for having several different ecosystems to explore: subalpine forest, wildflower meadows, temperate rain-forest, and the rugged Pacific Shore. This twelve hour tour allows you to sample each of these systems with the added advantage of having an experienced guide to answer any questions that may arise. Come explore tide pools along the coastal beaches, roam among old-growth forest, trek atop mountain ridges with breathtaking vistas and stand by glacier-birthed rivers and lakes. The tour begins on a leisurely ferry boat ride over the Puget Sound to the Olympic Peninsula. The exact itinerary will be curated by the tour guide however our first stop will usually find us at Hurricane Ridge where you will hike to an incredible view of the valley below and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. We will move on to Crescent Lake and the seasonally Sol Duc Valley, and a sandy beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Please plan on walking six miles.

5.00Kevin was just as incredible as all his reviews said he was. The tour was more than I had wished for and I had pretty high expectations going in. He’s super knowledgeable about the area and narrated the whole ride there which I loved. A lot of fun facts too. He was a safe and efficient driver which I appreciated. I learned how to properly drive the mountain roads from him. I’m so glad we did this tour. Core memories for us. And Kevin was fun and a delight to talk to. Give the man a raise, he deserves it. I would definitely look into using this company again. Very pleased. My only complaint was other attendees not tipping appropriately. Do your research going in. We were on this tour for a very long day. We had an excellent tour that exceeded everyone’s expectations. We were safely driven on challenging roads. You can tip based on length of tour or cost of tour. Either way it was about the same for this specific tour not to mention the level of service was phenomenal.
Good experience!

4.00It was a nice experience, we had a few short hikes to the hill top viewpoint and through a rainforest. I met many new friends, overall I had a very good time there. The tour guide was very good, only thing to improve is the communication with all traveller in the group. The itinerary mentioned here has a lot of 'alternative spots' which is very confusing! We could not cover many spots mentioned in the itinerary due to 'lack of time'.

5.00First and foremost, Kevin was exceptional! He had so many cool details and history surrounding Olympic. I’m always intrigued about history, myths and legends, but the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and just the overall landscape completely left me in awe. One of the most special places I have ever visited. Thanks to Kevin and this tour more people can experience Olympic very comfortably and conveniently. Everything was more than I could have expected or dreamed. Thank you from the depths of my heart, it meant so much to see this special place and to meet great, like minded people along the way.
Awesome one day tour!

5.00Great guide and great experience overall! Olympic National Park is huge, so this was a perfect one day itinerary. Our guide Kevin was interesting and I felt he chose our schedule based on what are group was interested in and based on the weather.
A tour of the amazing mountain was a change of pace I needed!

5.00Kevin was an amazing tour guide. The drive was very smooth despite the weather and road bumps here and there. Also, many stories were provided, anecdotal and historical which gave everyone a better connection to the areas we visted. The hikes, views, and nature was beautiful and very simple hikes that most people can do as well. The pit stops were plentiful which was also very appreciated, and overall, I had a ton of fun.
Fantastic trip to Olympic National Park Mountains, Lakes, Beaches and Rain Forests all at one go, something not to miss

5.00We had an amazing time on our Olympic National Park trip. Our guide Kevin was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable, friendly and full of passion for the park. He shared lots of interesting stories about the history, wildlife and secret spots. His energy kept everyone excited all day. The route was beautiful and really well planned. We saw lush rainforests, breathtaking mountain views and the dramatic Pacific coastline all in one day. Every stop felt relaxed and well chosen and we never felt rushed. This trip is such an easy way to experience the park’s incredible diversity without worrying about planning. I would recommend Kevin and this trip to anyone visiting Olympic National Park.
Stunning views

5.00Was a learning opportunity, for sure! Kevin was a very good guide and driver, as has been noted in some of the prior reviews. There is a lot of walking, though it was not obligatory. Learned so much!
