The rain forest was beautiful. And the stops were great. I wish there would have been a few more stops to stretch our legs even if for a minute. Like at the national park signs. Our guide was very nice. And informative at the stops but she did not talk on most of the400 mile trek. I would have loved to hear a little narration of. The areas we were passing through. I do understand it was a lot of ground to cover, that being said I would have liked to know what I was looking at on the trip
This is a great tour, but plan for the for the whole day. Johnny was our tour guide and he showed us the most beautiful places he could we took the ferry on the way back and that was a highlight.
Was hoping for a little bit more experience given the price. We enjoyed the rain forecast part but it was only ~45 minutes of the trip.
Our guide Mark was very nice and knowledgeable. Took time to make sure we’re all having a good time and made the day so special. One of the best tours we have ever done and beautiful nature.
I had so much fun! Definitely worth it. Rachel was the best tour guide & so knowledgeable on the area!

Thanks Katherine!
My wife and I usually like to do National Parks on our own. However we only had one day to cover Olympic which is HUGE so we booked this tour. We were very pleased with everything. Jonny (our tour guide) was right on time, very courteous, and knowledgeable. We covered rainforests, beaches, cliffs, lakes and more. Just make sure to not plan anything after the tour. It lasted 13+ hours.

Hi Tim, thanks for your feedback, and glad you enjoyed the tour!
Very full day! Lots of driving time on winding roads. Awesome views & saw so much unique landscape. Avg 12,000 steps
An incredible experience. Hiking through two rain forests and Ruby beach was the best the natural parks have to offer. Randal, the guide, was absolute the best. Knowledgeable and personable. It is a hiking experience with uneven trails and elevation change but totally worth. Throw in the twilight connection and can’t beat it.
It was a full day with a a little bit of everything. Rainforests, the Pacific coast, mountains, clear alpine lakes, and much more. Jonny the tour guide made the day fun with his interesting facts and playlist. Definitely the war to go.
I flew in from Miami for my birthday to visit the national parks, and Mark did not disappoint. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and funny, which made the tour even more enjoyable.
The tour covered a lot, including the rainforest and the beach. I would definitely recommend it!
This tour has a lot to offer. Information, fun, variety of things to see. Seems like it offers so much more than others. Rainforest hikes that aren’t to strenuous, a beautiful beach, Forks a stop at Cresent Lake. Stops for wildlife ( we saw Elk and deer). Ferry ride back to Seattle. With other stops along the way. Just wonderful and fun. Seems to accommodate the group’s interests. Met a great bunch of people
I loved this experience! I have never explored the Pacific Northwest so I wanted to see as much as possible a day before a cruise. Honestly, the price for all the experiences and memories is well worth it. My tour guide was Jonny and he was knowledgeable and friendly. He arrived promptly and was really kind as he had to herd 8 adults from so many places on a bit of a tight schedule. I was a solo passenger and he did a wonderful job offering and taking many photos of me to document my adventure. He also created a bit of a tour soundtrack which I thought was an amazing touch. It was a bit fast paced but that was in exchange for being able to see so much. I learned, experienced, and saw so many interesting things. I wish this could be a 2 day tour to slow it down a bit and see a couple more coastal places but overall I wouldnt change a thing. Dooooooo it! 😀
Wonderful day seeing Olympic National Park and the coast; headed out and stopped for breakfast at Solid Coffee who had the best egg sandwiches; went to Quinault Rain Forest and spent time there rather than Hoh (too crowded) and we practically had the place to ourselves; went to Beach 1 and Ruby Beach to explore the coast - it is a long full day but they provided snacks and stop for lunch midafternoon - guide Johnny was great, very knowledgeable, acted as photographer, had excellent music choices and made day memorable.
this trip was way tooooo long! Great op to see the rainforest of WA but 12 hours led to 14.5 hours…. and we got so behind schedule we could not take the ferry ride back to Seattle (one of the reasons I booked this tour). Also, we were unable to hear much of the dialogue because the guide did not “mike up” for most of the drive. The guide could be better educated …. every tree was 500 years old and every tree fell about 25 years ago!
Get a van that is comfortable to those in the back seats… this was almost like being on a roller coaster… speeding driver and airborne w every bump!
Wonderful Tour! Johnny was a great tour guide, great music Playlist to listen too, the sites were beautiful. I would do this tour again.

Oralia, thank you so much and glad it all worked out!
This was a full day with so much to see. We traveled all the way around the peninsula and we were supposed to come back on the ferry, but cut it out to get a group home faster for their dinner plans. Our group was fine with it, but advice to future travelers, this is a FULL day (7am to 9pm) so don’t try to schedule anything afterwards. A quick shout out to our guide Johnny as well! Great guide, great photographer, and an all around great guy!
This was a very comprehensive tour of Olympic Park.Be prepared for a fantastic full 12 hour day. Our guide Rachel provided us with so much information. Our stops were well planned and she made the day fun! Her lovely personality and well planned tour provided one of the best experiences! The rain forests hikes were a pure delight. Check out this tour.You won't regret it!!
The tour was amazing, It's included mountain view, beaches, walk tour through forest and at the end the ferry experience.

Hey Madhuri, that's wonderful and thanks for leaving a review!
This tour was a great way to see a lot of the Olympic National Forest with a limited time. Our guide Jonny was knowledgeable and flexible on itinerary to ensure my son could see Bella’s house (from Twilight) and still catch our flight on time. Be forewarned there is a lot of very bumpy driving if you get motion sickness easily, but there are a lot of stops which helps. The rainforest and beaches are breathtaking. Recommend if you have limited time because this area is a must see!

Paige, glad you enjoyed and it all worked out!
Johnny was a fantastic tour guide! He shared a wealth of information about the area and ensured we were comfortable throughout the entire tour. He accommodated all requests and made sure we were able to see as much as possible of Olympic National Park in one day. Highly recommend this tour!

Thanks for your kind review!
This was a wonderful experience. The reason for 4 stars is because I feel like there’s a lot packed into it, it makes it too hard to enjoy. Half of these stops were 15-30 mins long which is hardly enough time to enjoy. I loved our driver Randy and he was helpful and informative. Also keep in mind this tour consists of mostly driving from place to place..in the bus for about 1-2hrs at a time.

Hi Lauren, this is a highlights tour to rainforest and beach areas that no other tour goes.
This excursion was fantastic! Our other excursion from another company got cancelled 2 days before it was scheduled. Marc saved the day and he even had our guide, Randall pick us up at our hotel. Great service! Our guide Randall was very knowledgeable and made the day awesome! We enjoyed our day and he really took the extra time to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this tour! Absolutely amazing! Thank you for everything!

Hi Karen, very glad it all worked out nicely!
You will see so much more than you could possibly do in a day in your own! However, be aware that the van, when at capacity, is very packed and the seats are first come first served. Arrive early because you absolutely do not want to be stuck in the back row for eight hours of driving time.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Tracie, we purposely leave seats open on the van and also removed a seat to allow extra space.
Johnny, our tour guide, was excellent!!!! Even though we couldn't find parking at some of the sites, he knew of similar alternatives and then some. We even swung by Kurt Cobain's home and hiked some really beautiful parts of Olympic mountain. Our ferry ride back to Seattle was a beautiful finish with a view of the Seattle skyline during sunset. Johnny was super accommodating , kind and made sure we were all safe and enjoying the tour.

Wonderful Joanne, glad you liked it!
Great tour! We were there on July 4. Didn’t get to see the HOH rainforest because of the crowds, but our tour guide gave us a different location to explore which was great.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Shannon and Harold, it was so great having you on the tour! Glad you liked it! Enjoy Alaska!
Just wow! If you want to experience a day full of adventure and nature tripping on Olympic National Park, you should book this one. It's a long day but very fun with Max who is so friendly and knowledgeable. Also, it was so nice to know your fellow travelers. Just love it! ☺️
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Glad you had fun!
Had a great time seeing a bunch of sites in northwest Washington that we wouldn't have been able to if we didn't book this tour. Rachel was an excellent tour guide.

Art, it was great having you and your wife on the tour. And thanks for the questions and comments about all the plants!
Rachel did an awesome job explaining the area and what we were seeing. She was super friendly made both myself and my daughter feel welcome. It was a great time and we would highly recommend taking a tour with her.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Karen, wonderful, glad you and your daughter enjoyed!
The agenda for this day is too long with too much time driiving (5+ hours). The day went from 7am to 9:30 pm. Rachel did an okay job ( not the best I have experienced, but okay.) I do have a safety concern....Rachel's driving was agressive; tailgating and passing in an unsafe manner. I would not choose a trip with her again.
