Olympic National Park Day Tour from Seattle

Olympic National Park is well known for having several different ecosystems to explore: subalpine forest, wildflower meadows, temperate rain-forest, and the rugged Pacific Shore. This twelve hour tour allows you to sample each of these systems with the added advantage of having an experienced guide to answer any questions that may arise. Come explore tide pools along the coastal beaches, roam among old-growth forest, trek atop mountain ridges with breathtaking vistas and stand by glacier-birthed rivers and lakes. The tour begins on a leisurely ferry boat ride over the Puget Sound to the Olympic Peninsula. The exact itinerary will be curated by the tour guide however our first stop will usually find us at Hurricane Ridge where you will hike to an incredible view of the valley below and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. We will move on to Crescent Lake and the seasonally Sol Duc Valley, and a sandy beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Please plan on walking six miles.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Olympic National Park Day Tour? Is it all hiking or are there some sightseeing spots too?

A: I'd recommend wearing comfortable, breathable layers since you’ll be outside for most of the day. Good hiking shoes are a must, especially if you’re going to hike the six miles at Hurricane Ridge. There’s some sightseeing at Crescent Lake and the beaches, but a lot of the experience is walking in the park. Prepare for varying weather too, just in case!

Q: Can I bring my kids on this tour? What’s the age limit?

A: Yes, you can bring kids along! There’s no strict age limit, but it’s good to know that the tour involves a lot of walking. Kids who are used to hiking should be fine. Just make sure they can handle a day outdoors and enjoy nature!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: The company is pretty great about weather-related issues. If it’s really bad, they typically allow rescheduling without any extra fees. Just make sure to give them a call to discuss options. Their customer service is attentive during business hours!

Just did the Olympic National Park Day Tour - WOW!

I just got back from the Olympic National Park Day Tour from Seattle, and it was absolutely stunning! The ferry ride across the Puget Sound was a perfect start. Hurricane Ridge was the highlight for me; the views are just breathtaking. We hiked about six miles, and I felt like I was in a postcard! Definitely recommend bringing a camera. Can’t wait to give this as a gift to my adventurous friend next month!

Thinking of gifting the Olympic Day Tour - Thoughts?

I’m considering buying the Olympic National Park Day Tour for my sister's birthday. She loves the outdoors, and I think this would be perfect! Are there any special tips or things to know before I pull the trigger on this? Did you feel like the price was worth it?
