Highly recommend - Excellent trip! Our guide, Ben, was very knowledgeable, accommodating, answered all questions thoroughly. Hike was excellent, although a bit tough for me, I loved it! Time spent at each stop wasn't rushed and yet we stayed on schedule.

Amazing Day at Olympic National Park - We could not have had a more amazing day! It was so awesome to experience Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc Falls and Lake Crescent with an expert on the area. Tommy was amazing and kept us informed and entertained all day.. We were also lucky to be here on a warm sunny day and even luckier to see bears, deer and a marmot! The tour company was organized and the vans clean and comfortable. This was truly a wonderful experience.

If you’re visiting Olympic National Park everyone should do at least one tour with this company! - We have gone on many tours through Viator when visiting new cities and they have all been great but Olympic Hiking Co. was by far the best tour company we have ever gone on a tour with… ever! From Bonnie- the very first person we met at the front desk - to our tour guide, Tommy, every single person we interacted with was absolutely wonderful.
My husband and I signed up for a group tour and to our surprise when we got there no one else had signed up for the tour that day. Rather than canceling due to not having enough signed up or charging us more for what was essentially a private tour they told us that whether 1 or 12 show up the tour runs as planned. From the moment we met our tour guide and owner, Tommy, you could immediately tell that he absolutely loves what he does. Even though it was just the three of us all day it never feel like we had a stranger driving us around and half heartedly talking at us - it truly felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend who was showing us around a park that he loves. It honestly felt like he was just as excited as we were to get out and see the sights. He tailored the trails to our skill level and was a wealth of knowledge about the area.
Tommy made our day absolutely unforgettable and this tour is a core memory for both me and my husband — we are still talking about it almost a week later!! We cannot thank you all enough for giving us such an incredible experience!!! If you’re going to Olympic National Park everyone should do at least one tour with this company!

The BEST TOUR EVER thanks to Oscar! - Oscar is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had! I spent such a wonderful and joyful day with him today. He is incredibly professional and genuinely passionate about the forests, mountains, animals —everything related to nature. His deep love for this land and his work shines through in every way!
This journey allowed me to truly reconnect with nature through sight, sound, smell, and touch. Thanks to Oscar, I no longer see these rainforests, moss-covered trails, and mountain peaks as just names on a map—they’ve become precious gifts from nature itself that we can truly feel.
I hope one day I can return and choose another unforgettable adventure with the Olympic Hiking Co. crew members. This short trip was nothing short of magical!

Do it, seriously. - This was truly an amazing experience. Everything was so streamlined and taken care of for you, you just had to show up!
Trevor was insanely knowledgeable about the area, from local lore to geological history, and even flexed his nerd status on trees & birds. The day flew by with a continuous stream of easy conversation, and he was especially talented at bringing the whole group together. It felt like hanging out with friends all day.
We were able to see so much of the area, and having the comfort of a guide who knows what they are doing really took all of the stress away (except maybe that drive up Hurricane Ridge).
HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest taking any of Olympic Hiking CO’s tours to have a guaranteed amazing experience and see so much of the area! Just book it you won’t regret it.

The BEST Guide ever! - Oscar was an excellent guide! He has spent his entire life in the Olympic National Park area and is knowledgeable in the terrain, trees and native plants as well as the animals that live in the park. It was so obvious he absolutely loves his job!
