The Experience
What your day looks like
Explore the diverse beauty of Olympic National Park during this twelve-hour adventure. With ecosystems ranging from subalpine forests and wildflower meadows to lush temperate rainforests and rugged saltwater shores, this trip offers a chance to experience the park’s natural wonders up close. Your day begins with a relaxing ferry ride across Puget Sound to the Olympic Peninsula. From there, your guide will follow a scenic route with stops at iconic locations such as Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls, a coastal beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca , and—depending on the month—Sol Duc Valley. Along the way, the guide will pull over at some of the park’s most stunning viewpoints, giving you time to step out and immerse yourself in the surroundings—whether it’s strolling down a short peaceful forest path, soaking in panoramic mountain vistas, or discovering sea life in the tide pools. Please note that the itinerary is subject to change based on weather and road conditions to ensure the best possible experience for all participants. This excursion operates rain or shine, so we recommend reviewing the forecast and dressing appropriately for the conditions. For current weather updates, you may call the Road & Weather Hotline at (360) 565-3131.
