Walk all the way to Haystack’s base (if the tide is out), explore tide pools, and glimpse scurrying sea creatures. Enjoy lunch (own expense) in the town of Cannon Beach at your preferred local eatery.
After lunch, reboard your premium passenger van for a southbound tour along the famous coastal US Highway 101. Along the way, explore the unique beauty of the Oregon coast and stop at beautiful beaches and scenic overlooks. Admire the Pacific Ocean as it crashes along the cliffs, and visit other small towns that dot the coastline. Upon arriving at the Neahkahnie Overlook, keep a lookout for gray whales while gazing out into Tillamook Bay.
Afterward, one of your last stops is at Oswald West State Park.
Your tour concludes back at the starting point, in downtown Portland.

Amazing views and an amazing guide! We got a great amount of time at each location and great recommendations for spots to eat! I would definitely do this again or a different tour with this company!
This was a great tour of the incredible Oregon coast, I was thinking on all the stops that this is something you couldn’t see anywhere else in the world.
This was a wonderful introduction to the coastal beauty of Oregon. I am visiting Portland for a week, and of course I could have drove my rental car over myself but this is not only great convenience, but Mark is a great guide as well, sharing stories and interesting facts about the area along the way that I wouldn't have got going it alone. That makes me appreciate an area much more. He is also super caring and considerate of everyone on the tour. You have a lot of fantastic lunch options in Cannon Beach, and if you choose to visit the candy store there, don't be like me and get just a few pieces of chocolate... you'll regret it when you run out! The walking we did through trails was very light compared to other tours I have done, so accessible to more people who may have some mobility issues but of course, you are still walking dirt trails, with rocks and tree roots, and potentially slippery surfaces so still be mindful of that. Thanks Mark, would happily take another tour with you again!
Incredible experience! Our tour guide, Mark was knowledgeable and fun! Spectacular views and an amazing guide!!!
We had a wonderful tour of the Oregon Coast with Aaron, visiting Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park, and Short Sand Beach. Short Sand Beach was definitely the highlight of the day!
Aaron was an excellent guide and incredibly knowledgeable. He knows so much about the area, including the environment, plants, wildlife, and history. He made the tour both interesting and enjoyable.
A great day exploring the Oregon Coast, and I would definitely recommend Aaron!
Eric was a great driver. You feel safe. He has a deep knowledge of the ecology, food, geography and any random question you have about wine. It’s was not a wine tour. It was the coast tour. He asked if we needed more time to enjoy the areas we visited. 4 people in our tour. Perfect! Great way to spend the day with a super person.
I generally avoid group tours but didn’t want to rent a car and drive the Coast blindly. Our tour guide Daniel was not only personable, but a wealth of knowledge and fun facts about the ares we visited and the history. Although our van was full it was comfortable with frequent stops and the chance to get out and spend some time in nature. A very worthwhile day!
This was a dedicated tour of the oregon beaches and coast. We learned so much from our tour guide, Aaron. He was very nice and knowledgeable; we took breaks throughout the day, had lunch at Cannon Beach, and frequently stopped to stretch our legs. During the tour we saw Elk, sea ducks, and sea lions. We saw many of the natural cliffs and rock formations.
We had a fabulous tour guide and the weather was perfect! Patrick far exceeded our expectations! The van was nearly new, and he had water available. Patrick was extremely knowledgeable about the Portland, Oregon area, and made our day perfect in every way! Thank you so much!
It was an amazing tour! Our tour guide, Mel Y, was so helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers who want to experience and enjoy the beautiful Oregon Coast in one day. 🤍
David was a fantastic guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We would recommend it to others. We felt very little impact from the smoke.
This is a great day trip! As a solo traveler I felt comfortable and welcomed by the guide as well as the other guest. All the stops were breathtaking and great information was shared about them.
Daniel is an amazing guide and extremely knowledgeable. He is very engaging and has a great storytelling skills! We loved the tour a lot!
Perfect day trip to the coast to get a flavor of different areas to explore. Our tour guide was great and this trip was well thought out as we got to spend the exact right amount of time at each stop without feeling rushed or that we missed out on anything. Returned around 5pm so we had the entire night in Portland after the trip.
Chuck and Kaylee were kind, funny, and knowledgeable hosts. In fact, I think I enjoyed our coastal tour more than the Mt Hood one. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
I really enjoyed this trip out to the coast with guide Daniel! He provided interesting anecdotes about Portland and was super knowledgeable about plants of the area along the coast. I’d definitely do another tour! In Cannon beach I ate at Driftwood at the bar and would recommend the salmon salad highly!
Aaron was our tour guide for our trip to the Oregon coast and he was great. He shared a lot of interesting information and history along the tour which throughly enjoyed. And as a solo traveler I felt very safe. I would definitely book a tour again and hope to get Aaron as a tour guide.
This a a tour with beautiful sights. David our guide, was informative and adjusted the tour to get to the beach at low tide. The walks were not too difficult. David suggested places to eat in Cannon Beach. The seafood there was delicious. Highly recommend this tour.
There’s more walking than anticipated. It was good but older people could struggle on the beach and trails.
Andy was a fantastic guide - he provided alot of Oregon history with beautiful landscapes and coast line.
A stress free trip to the coast with a knowledgeable guide is the way to go. I recommend everyone should go at least once.
It’s wonderful and well organized for someone of first time visiting in Portland. Our guide Eric is great to help and care people.
This trip was awesome. The weather was awesome and the views were amazing. The hiking was very light which was nice. The host were also very knowledgeable and funny. Overall, my 2 teen daughters and I had an awesome experience.
Mark Retz is a fantastic tour guide. I had an amazing time during my Portland Coastal Tour. Mark is super knowledgeable, patient, and amazing at his job. I would highly recommend him for any tours in Portland. I learned so much about Portland from Mark.
This is a wonderful tour and excellent way to see the Oregon coast. Church was a great guide with lots of information and stories about Portland and the coastal areas. A must do experience if you’re in the Portland area.
It's a long day, but worth going into a beautiful area of Oregon. Our guide, Daniel, was great. Very knowledgeable.
Had a great experience and it was a beautiful trip. Thank you for the cool background on the forests, environs, and the coast! Loved visiting Oregon Coast. Recommended it to all of my friends and family!
Really nice and professional tour guide and I learned a lot he educated us on a lot of trees very nice
We had a beautiful day. David was our tour guide. Knowledgeable, and easy going. If you haven't been to the Pacific Northwest, this a great tour to see the beautiful coast line.
Great guide )Andy). Very personable and relatable. He really knows the Oregon coast. He tools us on a couple of “extra stops” that were delightful.
The van is brand new and very comfortable. It even has USB ports for charging phones.
I highly recommend this tour.
