2.Olympic National Park Small Group Day Tour w/Scenic Ferry 2CanGo

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 624 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $148

Ride the Bainbridge Island ferry from Seattle, then cross the Olympic Peninsula for views at Hurricane Ridge and Lake Crescent. The roughly 11-hour small-group trip includes park entry, hotel pickup, a guide, water, snacks, and usually a sandwich. Hiking or snowshoeing depends on the season, weather, and access. Guides have included Ryan Si, Tony, Duan, and Andy, though your guide may differ.

“The rain forest is truly breathtaking, filled with layers of green, misty air, and the quiet rhythm of nature all around us. Towering trees, delicate ferns, and unexpected bursts of color make every step feel like a discovery. The sound of flowing water and distant birds creates a calm, immersive atmosphere that makes you slow down and really observe. Our guidance guy Duan is great—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about the forest. He explains the ecosystem in a vivid, engaging way, pointing out details we would easily miss on our own. With him leading the way, the experience feels both enriching and unforgettable.”

Ferry rides and drinks are included; bring money for meals and prepare for a long day with plenty of walking.

“Kevin was a good tour guide. He prepared and had cold water for us through out the tour. He made sure there was time made for pictures and bathroom stops. Unfortunately, we did not get to visit the Elwha River but every other place we stopped at was breathtaking!! I would buy the sandwich. They are amazing! Make sure to bring a sweater, it’s cold at the beach stop. Just an FYI, the Hurricane Ridge hike has a lot of heights to it. Great tour! I would do it again.”

Olympic National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour

10.Olympic National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 40 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.)

This self-guided audio tour starts at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center in Port Angeles and uses GPS to play stories along the drive toward Sol Duc. Expect Elwha River stops, Lake Crescent viewpoints, and optional routes to places such as Hoh Rainforest and Hurricane Ridge. It costs $16.99 per group of up to four, but you’ll need a separate park pass.

“Enjoyed the audio tour, app was easy to download and once we got it set up, love that we didn’t have to touch it again. Only thing I would change is I think the listing is misleading. The full itinerary show on the listing is the combination of the main tour plus the two bonus tours. Because of that, we didn’t budget the full amount of time it would take to hit every stop because I assumed it would be the 3-4 hours mentioned on the listing. So we only did the main tour, then detoured and did Forks and La Push. Didn’t make it to Hurricane Ridge, Ruby Beach,…”
