- Camp 18 Museum - Those who want to learn more about logging history in the northwest, or who simply are curious about vintage logging machinery, will find plenty of material at Camp 18. Outdoor displays include multiple steam donkeys such as a Dolbeer single spool, a very early first-generation model, to a high-tech late-model Willamette compound geared yarder that was the height of technology for its day. Other displays on site include a large bandsaw from a sawmill, a self-propelled Ohio steam crane, Caterpillar-style tracked vehicles that worked in the woods, a railroad skeleton log car and other heavy equipment plus a wide variety of large and small hardware. We will make a quick stop here on our way to the spectacular Oregon Coast so that you can explore the historic equipment, use the restroom, and buy some coffee if you want.

Oregon Beaches tour - We had a great day touring the beaches of Oregon! Our tour guide Phoebe was awesome and very knowledgeable! So nice to be driven and be given the history of the area and the nature without having to navigate it ourselves!

Enjoyable day exploring the Oregon Coast - We had a very enjoyable day hitting the main sites on the coast. Phoebe picked us up at our hotel. She was professional and friendly. She shared many stories of the history of the area as well as driving us to some of the most splendid views on the west coast.

Great Overview of some Oregon Beaches - Phil was a great guide as we toured some of the Oregon beaches. He was knowledgeable about the area, its history, and its fauna and flora. We visited some truly beautiful sites. As an easterner, this was just what I wanted - to get a flavor of what the area was like.

Oregon Coast Memories - Most memorable — walking on the beaches, clam chowder lunch, driving the backroads of the coastal range, hanging out with friends, tour guide commentary (when we were able to hear it). Would help if tour guide used microphone.

Great for the price.. but keep expectations low :) - So we were greeted at our hotel on time by the SAME tour guide as we had the day before for our falls tour. America's hub world tour company gave us John again :/
No offense again John but your pre-pubescent voice isn't made for a tour group. The same dirty Sprinter MBZ but this time freezing. Warm bottles of water and no one could hear anything because he had no mic.
OTHERWISE, it was great to see the Portland coast line and spend a few minutes here and there. It's literally just a taste of these spots because you get 20-30 min per stop. I recommend you grab a slice of pizza and walk around Cannon beach b/c 1 hour is wayyyy too little time. Eat on the van lol
John did an ok job with keeping us informed but there were a few questions he just didn't know and tried to make up :) Thank goodness for Google lol

Rushed. - This was my second time taking this tour. The first tour was clearly great! This second tour was subpar. I never received any direct communication (only an auto-reply the same day of purchase about a month prior to) from the tour guide about when he'd be arriving for pick up or that he had arrived (like I received on the first tour). I wasn't told to be standing outside and waiting or anything. His non-verbals suggested that he was annoyed for having to wait 5 minutes for me to come downstairs during the pickup window, but he was very pleasant verbally.
Each tour guide chooses where to stop and what you get to see. Many of the stops were nice, while others were not. The stops that were nice were cut extremely short. The longest stop we had was 19 minutes at Haystack Rock. He chose to take us on a 15-20 minute hike, each way, which was not listed in the tour description at all. Luckily, my mother brought her hiking sticks. Had she not, she would not have been able to make the short (moderately-hilled) hike because we weren't informed to prepare for a hike. Once we got to the destination "Short Sand Beach" we were only given 6-10 minutes to view this extremely short and unimpressive beach. I'm sure the group would have preferred to spend those 50 minutes walking and exploring the larger beaches.
Because you're constantly watching the clock at stops so that you're not late getting back to the van, because they were so short, we couldn't really enjoy anything. I'd recommend renting a car for a day (maybe two so you can view the local waterfalls) and driving yourself so you can spend all the time you'd like viewing the coast and eating lunch. This is an expensive tour and was not worth what was spent.
