Astoria area daytrip--Great Experience - I didn't know what to expect on this all day tour experience, but it was a blast. Katie was an exceptional guide and drove with care around Astoria's windy streets and knew the history, not only there but Warrenton and Seaside. Beautiful time walking on the beach, got Gelato and played some pinball and air hockey! In the Astoria portion I met a lady from Japan and a UK couple. People come from all over the world. On my day, Oct 29 I saw deer, elk, sea lions, geese and a bald eagle. Don't miss it. Tonya

Fun and informative tour. - We loved our tour. The best part was seeing all the things we didn't know existed in the area and getting to go back to explore further, both this trip and the next.

incredible adventure "We did all the things" - This is a day we will cherish forever. From River Falls all the way to Cannon Beach and everything in between, it was an incredible experience. When I first looked into visiting the area, I was overwhelmed by how to fit everything we wanted to see and do into a timely manner. We spent 10 hours with Katie, who is incredible—polite, inquisitive, and responsive. In that time, we accomplished what I can only imagine would have taken us a week to navigate on our own. This allowed us the opportunity, in the days following our tour, to go back and dive deeper into the highlights. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Book it with the assurance that you’re going to have the most awesome day ever!

Onward Adventures sets the bar - Our tour guide Katie was very knowledgeable about the entire area and was able to answer every question my 14 year old could throw at her. Lol. The vehicle is very comfortable. This tour is so informative. It is a must to do at the beginning of your vacation or if you are moving to this beautiful area. Our guide went above and beyond any expectations you might have.

The Best OR Coast Tour! Friendly & Informative! - Katie was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She has a true knowledge of Astoria and the surrounding areas and will teach you a bunch of things probably no one else knows about the town & give you a local take on the best restaurants, bars, and activities. We had a great day touring Astoria, Warrenton, and Seaside with a full itinerary of the most notable places to check out. Book this for the most complete tour of the area and the friendliest host!

Onward Adventures Tour of Seaside and Astoria - I was so fortunate to have found Katie!!! I was the only person on the tour that day, but that didn’t deter her. She welcomed me and said that she loved solos because she could get one-on-one feedback. Lucky me.☺️ We visited a lot of places, and each one was interesting and beautiful in its own way. I let Katie know that I loved history and was not much interested in breweries, and so she tailor-made the tour to my taste. She picked me up on time from my hotel in Seaside, and we started the tour with a visit to the Lewis and Clark Saltworks. The tour lasted 7 hours and we visited several places like the Painted Rock Beach in Seaside, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park ( Fort Clatsop), Shively Park, Flavel House Museum, Pier 39 Cannery Museum, Fort Stevens, Peter Iredale Shipwreck, South Jetty, and Battery Russel. She drove extensively through Astoria to show me various landmarks and lovely houses while explaining the history of Astoria in an engaging and lively manner. Katie made me feel so comfortable and relaxed that it was almost like sitting next to a knowledgeable and close friend who was driving me around and showing me the sights of Oregon’s gorgeous North Coast. I really appreciate that she took me to so many wonderful places that I would otherwise never have seen. Katie is just the nicest person and an amazing tour guide, and I couldn’t ask for anything more! I highly recommend Onward Adventures, and Katie is the best!!!

Upward and Onward - Onward Adventures was amazing! Katie did a great job showing us the sites and hooking us up for the rest of our trip. Thanks to her, we were able to get a good idea of things we wanted to see and do while visiting the northern Oregon Coast. I highly recommend having the tour at the beginning of your trip. Thank you Katie for the wonderful memories!

Fabulous Tour of Spectacular Northwest Oregon - My guide, Katie, gave me a tour of the area that was above and beyond my expectations. She picked me up at my door promptly at 10am and showed me around the storybook-like town of Astoria. She knew the area very well and told me historical and fun facts about the different landmarks. She then took me to several beautiful locations that I never would have found in one day of exploring on my own. Beaches, state parks, shipwrecks, lighthouses, majestic forests, wildlife--Katie knew how to get to all those tucked away treasures. She provided a comfortable, safe, fun and stress free tour because she did all the hard work and I just got to sit back and soak up all the beauty the Northwest Oregon coast has to offer. Ecola State Park was down right magical looking with the light rain and mist. It is a must see! I would highly recommend Katie and the full day of exploring. If you are looking for a standard, impersonal boring tour then don't waste your money on this one. This tour guide is anything but impersonal and boring-- Katie is passionate about her community and helping it to flourish by educating others. You will walk away from this tour with an appreciation for this area's rich history and a respect for its natural beauty and character. Katie's sense of humor and her willingness to listen to her passengers' requests and interests make this tour top notch and well worth the time and money.
