5.00We spent an informative day with our naturalist, Oscar, seeing beautiful scenery and leaning much about the local sites, flora, fauna and animals. Having him drive us around and give a comprehensive narrative allowed us to absorb a lot in a single day. We would recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active day surrounded by nature.
We enjoyed the day...

5.00Great experience. Got to see 3 different sites in one day and on a very busy holiday weekend. Our guide Ben was a walking encyclopedia on plant and animal species, geology, and history of the area. Every question asked related to the areas toured was answered-I walked away feeling smart on the Park.
Fantastic guided tour!!

5.00Excellent trip! Our guide, Ben, was very knowledgeable, accommodating, answered all questions thoroughly. Hike was excellent, although a bit tough for me, I loved it! Time spent at each stop wasn't rushed and yet we stayed on schedule.
Amazing Day at Olympic National Park

5.00We could not have had a more amazing day! It was so awesome to experience Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc Falls and Lake Crescent with an expert on the area. Tommy was amazing and kept us informed and entertained all day.. We were also lucky to be here on a warm sunny day and even luckier to see bears, deer and a marmot! The tour company was organized and the vans clean and comfortable. This was truly a wonderful experience.
