What To Expect
Aberdeen
We pass through Aberdeen, full of intriguing stories. We stop at a local coffee shop that sells art from local artists. For people interested in Seattle music history or the band Nirvana, we may can stop at the under the bridge memorial and childhood home for Kurt Cobain.
Quinault Rain Forest
We enter the Quinault Rainforest and take a short hike amongst ancient trees, giant ferns, and other plants. The fresh air and surroundings of this temperate rainforest is a thrilling experience for a first time visitors and long time hikers. We take a rest stop at the Quinault Resort Lodge, which is where President Franklin D. Roosevelt stayed when he established Olympic National Park. The lodge has a perfect view of Lake Quinault.

5.00Marc was incredibly passionate about his job and knew the great spots to go. I could not recommend this tour enough. So beautiful, pictures do not do it justice, you must see this in person. Thank you Marc and good luck with your business.

5.00I had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide Marc is a fun and interesting guy and I appreciated his expertise and fun facts. All the stops were gorgeous but I especially loved that we made it to Lake Crescent right as the sun was going down. It made for absolutely stunning views. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00This is a small-group, full-day tour of the Olympic NP and forest. Our guide, Johnny, picked us up from The Westin hotel in downtown Seattle and we headed to our first destination, the Quinault Rainforest. Being a midwesterner, I have never seen a forest like this—old growth forest trees dripping in moss, giant sword ferns, fungi and nurse trees of all kinds. We made a stop at Quinault Lake, then had a picnic lunch on the beach at the Pacific Ocean at Kalaboch Lodge. Additional stops at Ruby Beach, Koh Rainforest, Lake Crescent, and nighttime ferry ride from Bainbridge Island back to Seattle. It was an over 12 hour day, but lots of time for hiking and taking in the beauty of the northern peninsula. Johnny was an informative and responsive guide, allowing time for rest breaks, encouraged questions, shared snacks and offered to take photos, something I appreciated as a solo traveler. I have seen so many of Seattle’s sights while I’ve been here and this tour was definitely the highlight. A moderate level of fitness is really helpful to be able to comfortably do some of the forest hikes.

5.00The Olympic National Park tour with Max Travel Tours was amazing! Marc was the best tour guide, he kept us informed and engaged with all these interesting and fun facts about the different places we went to around Olympic National Park and took all our photos. He also gave us snacks, water and got us sandwiches for lunch. Despite the rainy weather, we still visited all the places on the itinerary and the Hoh Rainforest was definitely the highlight of the tour. Twilight fans will definitely love it as there were a lot of references throughout the tour. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Seattle and would definitely go on another tour with Marc again!
