Highly recommended! - Excellent experience! A group of 6 of us , first time snow shoeing with varying ages and agility took the guided tour with Eric and Pete. It was a fantastic experience! The guides definitely enjoy what they do. They were always checking on us, providing us with tips and ensuring everyone was doing well. They know the routes best, what to look out for and which layers to take off when exerting ourselves! Pete also had great jokes as he does improv. Eric's experience as a guide and fun facts regarding the growths on trees was interesting. Lunch was excellent. This is the way to go and the shuttle driver was great on the twisty roads up.

Highly recommended winter adventure - I wanted to snow shoe on Hurricane Ridge for the longest time, and I decided to go with a guide so I could just relax and enjoy myself. It was so worth it! Tommy was great at making me feel welcome and getting to know me. The guides were constantly checking on everyone and customized the trek based on everyone's needs. We had perfect visibility and it was a wonderful experience!

Definitely take a snowshoe tour - We live in Port Angeles, but hadn’t snowshoed before, so we signed up for the guided tour to learn. This is a lovely experience from start to finish. The owner Tommy answered all my questions, our two guides, Tracy & Amy, were attentive, welcoming and knowledgeable. I ended up being the most tired/winded of the group toward the end, and one of them stayed with me & offered conversation & tips on how to go uphill (I have a hard time breathing while going up a hill, no matter how many times I walk/jog my hilled road.)
The snowshoes and poles they provide worked great and our guides provided insight into other brands and features we may want if we buy our own.
And the sandwich from Country Aire is always tasty. I love that this tour uses the local, yummy grocery store for lunches.

Great experience from start to finish - Great experience from start to finish. The registration was easy and hassle free pick up and shuttle to the mountain without having to wait in long lines or pay park entrance fee. Shuttle took us right to front door of lodge. Guides were awesome from getting us all geared up to educating us on the area and techniques. They were very accommodating to all the various skill sets and fitness levels of people in the group so no one felt left behind. Communication leading up to tour day was great, explaining all the things we needed to know and do and bring. Thank you for a great time.

Shelton Ladies Society Incredible Snowshoeing Adventure w/Karissa - OMGosh, what an incredible day! Ten ladies from Shelton Ladies Society took on the challenge of snowshoeing for our first time, for almost all of us. The two-hour drive to Port Angeles was totally worth it.
The Olympic Hiking Co. had all the specifics in-place, and everything went without a hitch. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the sport. Karissa, our guide, was both experienced and informative. She was fun, adventurous, and heartwarming. We had the absolute best time with her.
We all gave the Olympic Hiking Co. FIVE STARS!!!
Tommy, the owner, is very responsive with his communications...he welcomed our never-ending barrage of questions, was supportive in our concerns, and stood by his word on the coordination and program provided.
I would recommend using Olympic Hiking Co. for snowshoeing indeed, and any of the other incredible adventures they offer. I know you won't be disappointed!

Winter Capstone Event - My husband and I enjoyed the final snowshoe tour of the 2022 season. The guiding service was excellent--from the information shared, to the experience in helping us learn snowshoeing. We had fun with our fellow snowshoers too. The trip was designed to help us enjoy the magnificent setting. The guides knew the terrain and were well-equipped to allow us all the freedom to experience our surroundings without worry about the winter hazards that they are fully knowledgeable about and prepared for. This was a wonderful experience and highly recommended!
