Olympic National Park Day Tour

Embark on a breathtaking journey across Puget Sound by ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, leading to the wild and untamed beauty of Olympic National Park. This naturalist-guided adventure explores a region renowned for its ecological diversity and expansive wilderness. Guests will wander through moss-draped forests, admire azure lakes, and take in the striking mountain landscapes that define the park. At Hurricane Ridge, you may watch deer graze in lush meadows, hear the distinctive whistle of marmots, or enjoy the scent of summer wildflowers. In winter, the crunch of snow beneath your feet transforms the landscape into a pristine wonderland. Each step immerses you in the raw and rugged charm of this UNESCO World-Heritage Site, revealing how isolation has nurtured unique and varied ecosystems.

The tour continues west to the glacially-carved Lake Crescent, where fern-filled forests and the cascading Marymere Falls await exploration. On days when access to Hurricane Ridge is limited by weather, guests may instead visit tide pools along the North Coast or explore the forested and gravelly habitats of the Elwha Valley, home to important salmon populations. Throughout the day, your guide shares fascinating insights into the park’s natural history while providing moments of peaceful solitude. Ample food, coffee, tea, and snacks are provided to keep you energized as you fully experience the grandeur and unique beauty of Olympic National Park.
