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.

The tour to the beach was great. David is an excellent leader. Had plenty of time to walk on the beach at several locations. We took walks through the woods and enjoyed scenic viewpoints. It was a nice group of women.
Abigail_P, Apr 2026
Awesome experience! Dave was super chill and knowledgeable! Will recommend this tour to my friends and family! :)
Krissy_D, Oct 2025
I really enjoyed this experience! Meetup instructions were clear and we left on time. Our guide, Daniel, was friendly, knowledgeable about the area and gave us a lot of information about what we were seeing as we were driving. He took us to an extra beach stop and even made a detour when he saw an elk by the side of the road.

Cool stops on the way to the coast concluding with a short hike. Patrick, our tour guide, was fantastic and knowledgeable and was an interesting conversationalist. We had a beautiful sunny day and it was totally worthwhile!

1-1/2 hours to get to the coast from Portland but well worth the ride. Many scenic vistas and the town of Seaside is full of restaurants with great variety. Interesting seaside town. Our guide Patrick was full of interesting information and made the very best of a day with on and off rain. Umbrellas and ponchos were supplied and Patrick was good at encouraging us to enjoy the sites despite the rain.He really made lemonade out of lemons. We had a great time.
ANGIE_D, Oct 2025
That weather was unpredictable. Make sure you wear your rain boots. Bring raincoats too.
Joe was very informative about the area we were visiting. He knew his material. Had good suggestions on eating places in Portland. He was pleasant and friendly. Made sure we were comfortable in the van.
Ann_C, Oct 2025
Patrick was a wonderful guide! He provided so much good information about each of our stops and was so friendly and welcoming. A day very well spent!
Nicole_A, Oct 2025
The trip was nice. Daniel was a really knowledgable tour guide. I appreciated how we stopped at state parks and lookouts instead of tourist shops. It was also nice to have an hour in the town of cannon beach to get lunch and explore.
Allyson_H, Oct 2025
David was an excellent guide, friendly and knowledgeable. The spectacular weather enhanced the views of the ocean and mountains. The hike through the forest to the ocean was a once in a lifetime experience.
Bojana_K, Oct 2025
I did the tour by myself and it was a wonderful way to see the coast, learn about the history and geography of the region and not worry about missing any of the highlights or figuring things out on my own. Eric, the guide, was excellent. He as a wealth of information, really friendly, and I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Jennifer_S, Oct 2025
A wonderful experience and we were able to see so much in just an 8 hr day. Exactly what we were hoping and it was truly a breathtaking tour. Our guide, Joe was wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly. He made the tour even more enjoyable.
Karen_V, Oct 2025
Eric, our guide, was exceptional. Professional, fun and so very helpful! Left the city for the day and enjoyed the beautiful coast.
Andrea_M, Sep 2025
Incredible views! The tour includes multiple stops - we would have never been able to do so much on our own. The tour guide is extremely friendly and knowledgable about the area - the itinerary was well timed out and thoughtfully paced to get the most out of your day. Plenty of time for pictures and to slow down and take in the scenery. There are many places to use the bathroom and the guide checks in frequently to make sure guests are comfortable. There’s only one stop for food which includes many options in Cannon Beach so be sure to eat breakfast or pack a snack. Bring a charger - you’ll want to take so many pictures!
Juanita_C, Sep 2025

Chuck did an extraordinary job as a tour guide! You can tell he is passionate about what he does and that’s very important to tourists! You will not be disappointed at all.
Patricia_P, Sep 2025
Chuck was such an amazing tour guide! Not only did we learn about the sites we went to see but about some of Portland’s (and Oregon as a state) history. Our small group was the perfect size.

Daniel was a wonderful tour guide! Highly recommend this tour for those who want to experience a little bit of the coast and also get a little walking in. We had plenty of time at our stops, could always use more. Beautiful views of the area and Daniel knows a lot about the Flora and fauna there. Even got to try some of the blackberries growing wild and sorrel.

Ryan_D, Aug 2025
Tour guide was great and the stops were well-paced. Much better experience than renting a car and navigating all that ourselves.
