The tour guide, Marcus, was very knowledgeable and gave us fun facts and history. The stops along the way were spectacular! The 3-hour break in Canon gave us time to explore, eat, and not feel rushed. Highly recommend this tour.

Marcus was the best part of that trip. He gave us great information both on the way there, while we were there, and on the way back. He was also considerate, personable, and informative.

Although the weather was quite rainy and windy, we still visited all the listed areas and enjoyed seeing the Oregon coast, the Tillamook creamery, and Camp 18. Our group was small so it was personalized.

Provider canceled. Please refund. I tried to cancel online, but it apparently didn't work. PLEASE REFUND.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Glenda. James told me he was canceling directly online, so he must have failed. If you would have called and left a voicemail that you did not receive your refund, rather than going through the hassle of leaving a 1-star review, your refund would have been processed 5 days sooner. I am just now processing it, as I only have time to get online and read the reviews once per week.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the Oregon coast. I enjoyed all of the views as well as the lunch!
Janna_D, Jul 2023
What a great way to see the coast! Halle was knowledgeable and fun…which made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. Haystack and Cannon Beach was my favorite!
Amy_B, May 2023
I’ve never done a tour before, but will do one again for sure. Cher was a fantastic tour guide and she took some amazing pics of us too!
william_d, Apr 2023
The views of Cannon Beach were breath taking and the scenery including the trees and mountains in the background were amazing. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Portland.
Jocelyn_M, Apr 2023
Halle is a fantastic guide! Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend this unique day trip! We were extremely fortunate to have sunshine and warm weather as an added bonus
Donna_R, Sep 2022
This coast tour is a must if you are in the Portland area. The drive and the locations are stunning; so beautiful. You can’t see everything that’s listed in the description because of time but our tour guide Cher did her best. Seeing the Haystack and hanging in Cannon Beach was the best. We could have spent the whole day just there. We were lucky because we were there when the tide was low so we got to see some caves and beautiful rock formations. Cher is a great tour guide and made the trip fun and enjoyable.
grace_C, Aug 2022
That was wonderful trip and very enjoyable, I will join next trip again
Cher is our travel guide and driver, she is very nice and share her warm thoughts and knowledge with us, one day northern Oregon coast trip is unforgettable,

We booked for Oregon Coast Day Trip, which includes Cannon Beach, haystack rock & much more. This trip was perfect. From the time we were picked up at our hotel immediately we can tell that it will be a great & gorgeous trip. Cher was our Tour Guide, driver, historian. She was a walking encyclopedia. She was well-versed in the history of the place. She went out of her way to make this trip memorable. This tour fed our eyes & soul & Cher was a big asset to make this trip more spectacular. Been to many tours & my husband & me put her on the top category of our tour guides.
Lori_H, Jul 2022
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the coast history, plants and was very accommodating. The Oregon coast is absolutely breathtaking!
Tom_R, Jul 2022
We had an absolutely gorgeous day - clear, sunny, temperate with minimal wind. Cher, our driver, gave us choices. We wanted to see beautiful shoreline and we did! Plus some of the trails to the beaches were so lush, they were a treat in themselves. And then we stopped for Tillamook ice cream! 😋
Sharon_P, Apr 2022
The weather wasn’t cooperating but I was fine with that. It was windy raining but our guide was fun and spontaneous. We hit all the ideal viewpoints. We had a delicious meal at the Wayfarer. I’m retired and two other solo travelers and I had a good time. Good company and I got my time on the coast. It’s what you make it. I had less than 48 hrs in Portland so carpe diem.
Cynthia_R, Jul 2021
Enjoyed stops we actually made. Carrie was an excellent tour guide. She was very patient, easygoing and kind. She made an effort to interact with everyone in tour. I gave it four stars instead of five because more stops were advertised than we actually made. The overview mentioned that a couple of stops would depend on interest of group, but the section of "what to expect" listed many more stops that we did not make. I would have appreciated those extra stops/views.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Cynthia, I'm sorry you were disappointed in the tour. If you had read the synopsis you would see that the tour is designed to be customized, and that is why so many stops are listed. We could not possibly do all of those stops in one day, nor would most people want to.
Uli_B, Jul 2021
We enjoyed the small group (9) instead of a bus tour. The driver proposed an itinerary for the day that allowed us to return by 6:00 which was perfect. She made adjustments based on the compostion of the tour group and with the knowledge of the group. Carrie was our driver and tour guide. She shared a lot of useful info about the various areas we visited during the tour and had many anecdotal stories that were fun and interesting. The pace was perfect. Kudos to Carrie for making this a fun and engaging tour. Would do this one again.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Uli, thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Carrie.

Marcus gave a very interesting tour of the Oregon coast. One of the better days of our vacation. I highly recommend using Terran tours!
Response from Host, May 2021
Thanks for the great review, Lloyd!
Cherie_C, Apr 2021
We love that Marcus gave us plenty of time to eat, shop and time to go down to Canyon Beach. The walk down to short sand beach was breathtaking. We never felt rushed and it was an awesome experience. And, Marcus was an awesome tour guide! Would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Great trip. Interesting scenic stops. Driver was very knowledgeable and informative. He handled the roads well
Response from Host, Nov 2019
Thanks for the great review!
Bridget_J, Aug 2019
We were lucky enough to have virtually our own private day tour, which we could have extended longer than the noted 8 hours. Our tour guide, Marcus, was friendly and accommodating, tailoring the experience to our interests. Extremely knowledgeable about Oregon and Portland, we found the entire trip both fun and informative! If we had more time in the area, would have definitely booked another one of the varied tours offered by this company.
Response from Host, Aug 2019
Thanks for the great review, Bridget & Rich! Marcus enjoyed your curiosity. Hope you had fun at Hood River, Crater Lake, and more wineries!
Betty_M, Jun 2019
Nice and relaxing trip. Very informative and well organized. Several interesting stops. Beautiful scenery.
Response from Host, Jun 2019
Thanks for the great review! Marcus said he particularly enjoyed showing you the WWII blimp hangar in Tillamook!
Wilhelm_D, May 2022
El tour estuvo muy bueno y variado, mostrando varias cosas de la vida en la costa, no solo el mar. Me sorprendió gratamente y vale la pena.
Me hubiera gustado que hubiera un poco de tiempo libre como para
Caminar por el pueblo, quizá a la hora de almuerzo dejando libre que cada uno almuerce donde quiera.
