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,…”
