    Marc was a fantastic guide and was so prepared we almost wanted to call him "Mom". From lunch, snacks, phone chargers for many, he thought of everything. We covered a lot of ground in one day! Be prepared for lots of driving, but the views/hikes are worth it!

  • This trip was absolutely sooooooooooo good!!!

    I chose this tour because when browsing Olympic National Park🏞️ tours on Viator, I noticed that most of them focused on Hurricane Ridge and other classic stops. But what I really wanted to see was the rainforest — to me, that’s the essence of Olympic! Marc’s tour was the only one that included both Quinault Rain Forest and Hoh Rain Forest, so I signed up — and the experience turned out to be beyond incredible! First of all, I have to give huge credit to Marc. He is part botanist, part super-guide, part big brother (see photo 1). During the rainforest hike he pointed out fascinating plants, shared stories about Twilight filming spots, helped us take photos, and made the whole day feel like a mix of adventure, learning, and fun. From rainforests to lakes to the coastline — and even a night ferry ride with city views — Marc made sure we saw the very best of Olympic. Secondly, the trip was both rich and flexible. Because it was a small, private-style group, we had the freedom to adjust plans. For example, after exploring Quinault Rain Forest, we felt we didn’t need to wait in long lines for Hoh Rain Forest. Marc immediately suggested a hidden gem instead — a crystal-clear spring that looked like something out of a fairytale (see photo 2). Alongside famous spots like Lake Crescent and Ruby Beach, he also took us to a few off-the-beaten-path locations that were just as magical (no spoilers here — see photos!). Lastly, I want to thank my fellow travelers. A great trip depends not only on the guide but also the group, and I was lucky to share this experience with three amazing ladies. With their warmth, energy, and humor, the four of us made this small-group journey unforgettable. In short: if you find yourself in Seattle with an extra day, don’t miss Marc’s Olympic National Park tour. And if you have more time, I’d absolutely recommend joining his other tours, like Mount Rainier. This was one of the most memorable travel days I’ve ever had — thank you, Marc!

    Mark was such an amazing tour guide, I don’t think we missed a beat when it came to exploring the beauty of Olympic National Park. He did a wonderful job explaining the rainforest and ecosystems, showed us some of the most beautiful coastal beaches! And then we ended the day perfectly at Lake Crescent. It’s a lengthy tour but you WILL SEE EVERYTHING!
