Kevin did a great job of entertaining us during the bus ride as well as knowing when to give us quiet time to enjoy the amazing scenery.

Olympic National Park is well known for having several different ecosystems to explore: subalpine forest, wildflower meadows, temperate rain-forest, and the rugged Pacific Shore. This twelve hour tour allows you to sample each of these systems with the added advantage of having an experienced guide to answer any questions that may arise. Come explore tide pools along the coastal beaches, roam among old-growth forest, trek atop mountain ridges with breathtaking vistas and stand by glacier-birthed rivers and lakes. The tour begins on a leisurely ferry boat ride over the Puget Sound to the Olympic Peninsula. The exact itinerary will be curated by the tour guide however our first stop will usually find us at Hurricane Ridge where you will hike to an incredible view of the valley below and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. We will move on to Crescent Lake and the seasonally Sol Duc Valley, and a sandy beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Please plan on walking six miles.

It was a nice experience, we had a few short hikes to the hill top viewpoint and through a rainforest. I met many new friends, overall I had a very good time there. The tour guide was very good, only thing to improve is the communication with all traveller in the group. The itinerary mentioned here has a lot of 'alternative spots' which is very confusing! We could not cover many spots mentioned in the itinerary due to 'lack of time'.

First and foremost, Kevin was exceptional! He had so many cool details and history surrounding Olympic. I’m always intrigued about history, myths and legends, but the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and just the overall landscape completely left me in awe. One of the most special places I have ever visited. Thanks to Kevin and this tour more people can experience Olympic very comfortably and conveniently. Everything was more than I could have expected or dreamed. Thank you from the depths of my heart, it meant so much to see this special place and to meet great, like minded people along the way.
