Well thought, organized and fascinating tour! - Perfectly organized trip, very nice staff. But most importantly: the tour guides, especially Mark as a biologist, were extremely knowledgeable (I mean for real, not reciting things). I would not have gotten more than 10% of what learned, saw, noticed today without them. I learned a lot not only about the rain forest, animals and plants, but how to look at them, to see what’s there.. And the guides were very sensitive to different people’s tastes and needs. Just absolutely fantastic, I’m So glad I booked this with them.

Amazing Place to Visit - The Hoh Rain Forest is truly a spectacular place to visit. Walking through the forest of all the tall trees, both standing and fallen, as well as the rich history. The Hikes weren't bad at all, even my 75-year-old mother-in-law, who does have some balance issues, did 1 of the trails. This should be one of your stops when you go to Washington.

Highly recommend - Although the "Hike" was merely a very short and mild walk, the Tour Guide, Daniel, and Customer Rep, Desiree, were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and accomodating.

Great Guides and Tour! - The tour was great and as advertised, the ride to the parks was comfortable. Our tour guide Ash was very knowledgeable about Olympic National Park and the surrounding area she made the tour feel very personable. Her demeanor and friendliness made us feel very comfortable. She even went out of her way to let us twilight fans get a picture with Bella’s truck from Twilight in Forks, WA. That was the cherry on top of the trip! Definitely would recommend this tour it was well worth the price.

Educational and Stress-Free - Ben was great. He had great information about the flora, fauna, and history of ONP and the surrounding area. I learned a lot and appreciated Ben's efforts to make the most of a rainy day in the park with some lines. Highly recommend this tour!

If you can only do one thing in Olympic National Park you should take a tour with Olympic Hiking Co.!! - This tour company is by far the best company we have ever gone on a tour with. From Trevor at the front desk to our tour guide Ben everyone was so incredibly friendly, helpful, and easy to chat with. We had a full 12 person tour but even though there were so many in the group it was a relatively quiet bunch with a wide range of ages and abilities. Ben did an amazing job of keeping conversation going and giving great information about the area as we drove through- you can tell he truly knows the history of the area. He was also a wealth of information on birds, animals, and plants in the area which are all interests of mine so I really appreciated his breadth and depth of knowledge on those subjects. He also did a great job of keeping a pace that everyone could keep up with as we navigated the trails. I truly cannot say enough good things about this company and the people who work for them- you can tell they absolutely love their jobs and want to make sure all of their clients have an unforgettable experience. Thank you all so much!

Heaven is the Hoh Rainforest - Laid back, knowledgeable tour guides. I liked the small group, they were well-organized and had a system in place for queueing for park entrance. Only downsides were it felt rushed, since we lost time taking an alt path due to incident at main road. Also, I would've appreciated if the tour guide waited for the whole group to catch up befoee sharing information at different stopping points. The tail end missed a lot of information. Overall, good tour! I love to see how passionate about the local areas our guides were!
