Do not hesitate to take this full-day tour with Peter. He is a wealth of information and runs this tour with perfect timing to not be rushed, but still see and do so much. Cannon Beach is not to be missed! We had been looking forward to this day for a long time and it was a “10” ! Highly recommended!

What a great tour! Peter was very knowledgeable and went to extra mile to find us some Roosevelt elk in Cannon Beach. Great recommendations for lunch and so many interesting stories.

We spent a wonderful day exploring Cannon Beach and the surrounding areas, including a great stop at the Tillamook Creamery. What makes this experience truly special is the heart behind it—it is a father-and-son operation! Even though the Oregon coast gave us some very windy weather and light rain, our guide didn’t let it dampen the mood for a second. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about the history and biodiversity of Oregon. He was kind and upbeat, making sure we still saw the best sights and stayed comfortable despite the elements. It was a beautiful, memorable day, and you can really feel how much they care about their guests. If you’re looking for a tour with a personal, local soul, this is definitely the one to book!

Had a great time on this tour! Peter was engaging and shared many local insights I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. The pace was just right, and the scenery was beautiful.

Worth the Trip!! The scenery is beautiful!!

Lawrence_B, Jun 2025

It is very informative and the scenery is fantastic! I didn’t realize how far from Portland the coast is.

Adam Thorn Smith- Wonderful travel guide!!

Cyndi_H, Jun 2025

Adam Smith was an amazing tour guide. He not only picked us up from the hotel but he gave us a wonderful lesson on the history of Oregan, the city of Portland and history of the locations we toured. He took us to Cannon Beach where we walked on many trails, toured the city and dined at a local seafood restaurant. Adam also recommended a wonderful chocolate shop next to the seafood restaurant. Both were amazing and the staff was very friendly. The entire trip was full of conversation. I appreciate the time and effort Adam put into this tour. If you ever visit Portland, you have to look up Adam Thorn Smith and request a tour. He can also give waterfall tours. You will not be sorry!!

Breathtaking and Informative

Rhonda_P, May 2025

Beautiful views, bring good walking shoes, bring binoculars and a good camera. Our tour guide Adam knows so much about Oregon and its history you almost want to record it all. His passion for sharing Oregon is inspiring. We saw eagles, osprey, a lighthouse, haystack rock, and other hidden gems.

Wonderful views

LaToya_T, May 2025

The Oregon coast is beautiful! We were lucky enough to be the only two people on the tour, so we had Peter all to ourselves. Peter is funny and very knowledgeable about the terrain and plant life. We enjoyed every minute.

Oregon coast

Karol_H, May 2025

We had a lovely time on our tour. Peter our driver was very knowledgeable about the points of interests we took and laid back. The drive was not bad from Portland. Encourage to wear comfortable shoes and if you go anytime soon, bring a vest or jacket. Also water!

Excellent Oregon Coast Tour!

Steve_J, Oct 2024

The Oregon Coast is beautiful and our tour guide was fantastic! Highly recommend this full day tour. Walking on Cannon Beach and seeing the park where they filmed Goonies was our favorite. Our tour guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. Skip the other tours and take this one!!!

Excellent!

Maureen_K, Oct 2024

My fiancé and I had an absolute blast on our day trip to the Oregon Coast with Peter on 10/11/2024. He has to be the most knowledgeable guide we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He knew most everything about all that we encountered along the way from Portland history to the geology of the Oregon Coast and everything in between. He is a rock star guide. We carefully vet reviews before booking anything and this was a dream. The previous reviewers were spot on. Do not hesitate to book with Oregon Tours. You will have memories to last a lifetime... Thanks Peter!!!

Super tour

reedcrumblissbellsou, Oct 2024

Excellent!!! Peter, our guide, was personable, knowledgeable and super. Highly recommend him and this tour.

The reviews are real, this trip is spectacular!

WhitneyArnold, Oct 2024

At first, I thought the good reviews were too good to be true and maybe people were paid to write them, but no! This trip was incredible. Pete made the trip enjoyable from the moment we got in the vehicle! This day went far beyond what we expected. The drive to the coast was beautiful and we stopped for an informative walk through the forest. We loved learning about the land and history. Every place we stopped was wonderful.

Very nice getaway

Richard_R, Sep 2024

Our tour guide Peter was friendly & knowledgeable, he took us to very exciting sites. The Haystack Rock 🪨 is magnificent.

Loads of Fun!!!

Andrew_E, Sep 2024

It was amazing and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun. I definitely recommend this experience. If you have any food allergies it may be in your best interest to pack a lunch. Cannon beach doesn’t have any options for GF really.

Oregon coast

Mary_T, Sep 2024

Peter was personable & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the stories & he had a wealth of knowledge. He cared that we would have an enjoyable pleasant experience & we did! The beach & forest scenery was just awesome! From the 3 sisters from Iowa 😊

Stunning sight - the Oregon Coast!

Mike_G, Aug 2024

The views of Oregon coast are stunning. Peter was an excellent guide - narrating the journey from the city to the coast with tons of interesting and fact fill stories. The stop at Tillamook Dairy was interesting and a nice way to finish the afternoon. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a low key way to see the coast in limiting time.
