This was the best part of our trip to Seattle. Kevin our guide was fantastic, I would ask for him, if possible. His knowledge and humor were great. We were able to get in a couple bonus stops. The hikes were amazing, and the views were stunning. We saw wildlife, waterfalls and a beautiful lake, all up close. The pickup and drop off was seamless. We would highly recommend this tour with this company. Well worth it if you don't have much time to see Olympic NP on your own.

The Olympic National Park probably deserves a few days to get explored but if you’re considering doing it in one day this is definitely a great opportunity.
Our tour guy Kevin was awesome, a natural entertainer full of stories and fun facts made the trip an enjoyable and interesting.
The park itself it’s a beautiful and profound experience and you’ll find yourself immersed into nature and pristine views.
You’ll get to enjoy a good hiking so dress accordingly and wear comfortable shoes with good traction.
I just wish there was a stop at any of the native tribes centers, I’m sure there’s a few
I also thought Ruby Beach was in the itinerary but maybe I was mistaken. Then it should be included!
This was definitely a great experience for me and I’m looking forward to go back soon!

A full day but worth it. Expertly guided by Kevin who calmly and patiently managed the whole day single handedly.

Wear layers and good walking shoes or hiking boots. Be prepared for a great time! Our guide Kevin was the best! His knowledge of the national park and especially native American legend wowed us. We experienced so many different ecosystems in one day....the coast, the deep beautiful forest, the lakes, rugged mountains, waterfalls. Kevin knew where to stop for breaks and food. We had ample time to explore yet he kept us on schedule. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Thank you so much for the incredible review! We love your advice about layering up and wearing good walking shoes — that’s perfect for experiencing all the amazing landscapes along the tour.

Soumi_C, Oct 2025
It was a nice experience, we had a few short hikes to the hill top viewpoint and through a rainforest. I met many new friends, overall I had a very good time there. The tour guide was very good, only thing to improve is the communication with all traveller in the group.
The itinerary mentioned here has a lot of 'alternative spots' which is very confusing! We could not cover many spots mentioned in the itinerary due to 'lack of time'.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the hikes, the beautiful viewpoints, and meeting new friends during the tour. It’s also wonderful to know that our guide made a positive impression.

We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon — and make it an even smoother and more memorable experience!
Manuel_C, Oct 2025
First and foremost, Kevin was exceptional! He had so many cool details and history surrounding Olympic. I’m always intrigued about history, myths and legends, but the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and just the overall landscape completely left me in awe. One of the most special places I have ever visited. Thanks to Kevin and this tour more people can experience Olympic very comfortably and conveniently. Everything was more than I could have expected or dreamed. Thank you from the depths of my heart, it meant so much to see this special place and to meet great, like minded people along the way.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Kevin was an amazing tour guide. The drive was very smooth despite the weather and road bumps here and there. Also, many stories were provided, anecdotal and historical which gave everyone a better connection to the areas we visted. The hikes, views, and nature was beautiful and very simple hikes that most people can do as well. The pit stops were plentiful which was also very appreciated, and overall, I had a ton of fun.

We had an amazing time on our Olympic National Park trip. Our guide Kevin was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable, friendly and full of passion for the park. He shared lots of interesting stories about the history, wildlife and secret spots. His energy kept everyone excited all day.
The route was beautiful and really well planned. We saw lush rainforests, breathtaking mountain views and the dramatic Pacific coastline all in one day. Every stop felt relaxed and well chosen and we never felt rushed. This trip is such an easy way to experience the park’s incredible diversity without worrying about planning.
I would recommend Kevin and this trip to anyone visiting Olympic National Park.

Full day Olympia National Park tour with our guide Kevin! The views were absolutely spectacular and our tour guide was great at giving us fun facts and anecdotes along the way. There are some decent hikes along this tour so be ready to walk! Tour guide was great at providing multiple restroom breaks which is always appreciated. Would recommend 100%

Was a learning opportunity, for sure! Kevin was a very good guide and driver, as has been noted in some of the prior reviews. There is a lot of walking, though it was not obligatory. Learned so much!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and found Kevin to be a great guide and driver — he’ll be happy to know his efforts are appreciated. It’s wonderful that you walked away (literally and figuratively!) having learned so much. We understand the walking can be a bit much for some, which is why we try to mention it during our description of the possibilities of up to 7 miles. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you on another adventure in the future!

We did two tours with Customized Tours this week. One to Olympic National Park and one to Mount Rainier. I think any tour with this company will be of high quality. They hire smart personable people with lots of knowledge about the particular area and good skills on how to safely run a tour. Kevin has a great personality and was able to create a good group adventure. My wife and I are both in our mid 70s and we were able to do all the activities of the tour. I really appreciated that Kevin was flexible with the itinerary. Because the tide was high we chose to do the salmon cascade rather than the beach. It was amazing to see the salmon jumping the cascade.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your wife enjoyed both the Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier tours with us. It means a lot to know that Kevin’s knowledge, flexibility, and personality helped make your experience so special and accessible.
The salmon cascade is indeed an incredible sight—what a great choice! We’re glad you were able to enjoy all the activities comfortably and safely.
We truly appreciate you trusting Customized Tours and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
Kathleen_Q, Sep 2025
Thank goodness we had Kevin as our guide ( Rumor has it, Sven isn't very good.) He had great stories about MANY legends and historical facts. Kevin is legendary in his own right. He took our input and choose which sights were best for us to see. He was knowledgeable and kept our interest throughout the tour. Thanks for a great trip! FYI.. There are long stretches of riding in the van between stops. Wear layers and you might want to bring a few snacks.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour with Kevin—he really is legendary! As for Sven… we’re not entirely sure who he is, but we hear he lives in the misty mountains and only appears when the fog rolls in. Until then, we’ll keep sending Kevin out to save the day. Thanks for the great advice about layers and snacks, and for taking the time to share your experience!
All the best,
WILLIAM_W, Sep 2025
Olympic National Park is awesome but what makes this trip is the tour guide Kevin. He is knowledgeable, interesting and genuinely cares that everyone is comfortable and happy. What could be a very long day goes by quickly which is definitely attributed to him
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Kevin is an amazing tour guide and the best tour guide experience of my life. He has a lot of trivia knowledge of the location and shares many quips throughout the journey. He is a great and accomplished driver as well - covered everything and brought us back earlier too! There are plenty of stops to grab food and snacks on the way with picture perfect views from the bus.

Had the absolute best day in Olympic National Park with Kevin! He was such a great tour guide - funny, chilled and super easy to get along with. We got some amazing views at the beach, lake and mountain stops. I loved that we got to see such a variety of nature. The hikes were fun, the mountain one was short but a bit steeper but still doable for everyone. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a one day tour of Olympic park.
