A Unique Experience in the Rainforest

WENYU_S, Jun 2025

Cheryl is an excellent guide! She knows a lot about the history of Washington, from geography to industries. The three trails are amazing. Each of them has their characteristics. We got to know various plants, animals, and also have a taste of the wild berries. Cheryl is very knowledgable to the natural world and also very caring for us. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much! You chose a really nice place to go. I wish you and your mom safe travels.

Wonderful way to see so much!

My daughter and I spent the day visiting the Temperament Rain Forecast with Cheryl. Cheryl checked in the day before, arrived promptly at the scheduled time, in a clean and comfortable SUV, fully stocked with logo’ed water bottles and a full snack basket for the day. Cheryl was very knowledgeable about the area, both in history and culture/customs. We had a great day and we really lucked out with the best day of weather — clear views of the Cascades and Mt. Rainer. I would highly recommend Cheryl as a tour guide and would book again if in the area.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting you two. Thanks for the glowing review.

Wonderful!

This was the best trip ever of the ones we took in Seattle. Beautiful rainforests! Our guide Janet was over the top with good information, very attentive to our needs and very kind.

You will love this scenic adventure through the Olympic Peninsula. While it is an all day tour, we were most comfortable the whole day. We experienced stops at the beach and forest with easy hikes and walks and at other noteworthy sites. Cheryl is very knowledgeable, fun and a good driver. Enjoy!

James S, Aug 2017

We had the most awesome tour with Cheryl. It turned out we were the only clients that day so we got to have her to ourselves. She is a wealth of knowledge as she grew up in the area and seemed like she knew every tree, trail, plant, waterfall, etc. that there was to see. The main reason we took this tour was I had always wanted tp see the Olympic Natl. Park. and we got to enjoy all 400 miles around the whole park. If you are lucky enough to get Cheryl, you will see and learn so much. We now feel like she's a friend as she treated us like we were friends that she was so happy to show this part of her world.

This trip made my Mom's birthday celebration so special. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We were able to see and do so much in one day and I would highly recommend this tour and company for an amazing experience!

Sharon S, Sep 2016

When you take into account that the tour lasts the whole day and encompasses a whole day's worth of experiences like visiting Merymere Falls, the Hoh Rainforest, and Ruby Beach, while also experiencing the countryside, a ferry ride, and small towns like Forks, the value is worth it, especially with a personable guide like Sheryl.

Nancy L C, Aug 2016

My husband and I went with Cheryl on her NW Tour of Olympic National Forest in early August and had a fantastic time! Cheryl is great company, a terrific guide, and taught us much about not just the National Park, but also about Seattle and the surrounding area. We are out-of-state folks, who have a lot to learn about WA State history, and are so glad to have had the chance to learn so much from Cheryl. And the Park and the Olympic Peninsula are just stunning. I highly recommend this tour to you. Cheryl made the whole experience fun and enjoyable!

Robert A, Aug 2016

Always a a joy to have someone really care about your experience not just take you for a ride. Be prepared for a long day but worth every minute and every dollar

Dee M, Jun 2016

Highly recommend this tour if you want to really experience the beauty of the Northwest. We began our tour at 7am, being picked up at our downtown hotel by our guide, Cheryl. We headed over to a drive in ferry new experience and Cheryl treated us to a warm breakfast while we crossed the sound. It was then on to the Olympic National Forest, where we hiked about a mile and a half - gorgeous scenery, and Cheryl is very knowledgeable about all the trees, plants, etc. we encountered. An upward climb to view Merrymere Falls, and then we returned and drove on to Forks. Cheryl bought us lunch at a quaint café, and we learned that Twilight was actually filmed in Oregon, so nothing really to see with regard to Twilight, except a hokey souvenir shop, which we chose to skip. We drove then to the HOH Rainforest. - another gorgeous walk with spectacular scenery. Again, Cheryl knows so much about the trees and mosses, plants, etc. It was really spectacular. Our last adventure was a visit to the Pacific Ocean - we climbed down to the beach and observed all the rock formations, driftwood actual trees and just enjoyed the fresh salt air. Back to the city where Cheryl dropped us off at the hotel - a very full day and a memory we won't forget. Thanks Cheryl for being such a friendly entertaining host!

What a fun and informative day we had...

Erin B, Jun 2016

What a fun and informative day we had with Cheryl! I had always wanted to see the Olympic Peninsula and we were able to see some of its highlights on this private car tour. Cheryl was sensitive to our needs and flexible about stopping in places, taking pix and just a fun person!
