Perfect intro to Olympic National Park waterfalls - Ben is very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. i only wish the couple behind me didn't chat so loudly in their native language so I can hear Ben better.

Memorable day at ONP - It was my first time visiting the area and I was traveling solo. The group tour was perfect. Eric was an excellent tour guide. I learned a lot about the different trees, lichens, plants, and history of the area. I highly recommend it!

Half Day Tour. - We really enjoyed the excursion and Eric was great. He was so helpful when things got challenging on the steps. I’m glad I made the climb. I do admit it was a challenge at my age. Eric made it so easy for all of us to get to know each other, such nice people.

Two for the Price of One - What a great experience, even before the tour started we were greeted with friendly faces and an overall talk of what to expect! We were introduced to our Guide, not only was he LOCAL but an Environmental Science teacher.. so we knew we were in great hands.. trekking off to see Washingtons’ sites ..after loading up in a luxury van, we were informed of Port Angeles surroundings of the town as well as what we signed up for to tour..the ride was nice, the hike was great and easy and the waterfalls were amazing..also with the “local” knowledge we were able to see things we did not know existed!! The tour company group were friendly and extremely knowledgeable..two for the price of one!! Loved it..thank you
