Wonderful Tour! - Excellent tour and our guide Daniel was fantastic. Hurricane Ridge has spectacular scenery and the alpine wildflowers and close up viewing of marmots made the experience extra memorable. The walk to Marymere Falls, through old growth forest, and the beautiful waterfall were also great Daniel was very knowledgeable about the Olympic National park and the Coast Salish tribes whose lands the park resides on making the tour so interesting. The air conditioned van is very comfortable. One suggestion would be to have some info in the van on Pacific Northwest wildflowers and forest vegetation.

Great Day Trip - Saw a lot in one day and had a couple of great hikes. Nice to go with a guide (Oscar) who is so knowledgeable about the area, history / culture, plant life, etc.

Worth it. - I am glad I booked this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the flora and also pointed out a few other trails I can take on the remaining days of my trip. So the tour is good for first-time explorers of Olympic National Park.

Awesome Olympic National Park Tour - It was a perfect tour and the stops were great with hiking and great learning and photo opportunities. The weather was perfect, sunny and clear, more than we could ask for. Our tour guide Oscar was great - super knowledgeable, friendly, pointing out small details and answering questions! Olympic Touring Co’s small group size and transportation were perfect for the amazing Sol Duc, Lake Crescent, Hurricane Ridge tour. We were super lucky to have a great experience of seeing salmon run on the way – out of this world!
