Savoring the biodiversity with nature lovers like you in the Olympic mountains, forests, rivers, and coast since 2013
Olympic National Park Private Nature Day Tours may focus on
Guided Hiking - at a nature-loving pace or sightseeing
Guided Tidepooling - looking for sea stars at low tide
Guided Bird Watching - for newbie bird nerds, listers, and everyone in between
Guided Elwha River Restoration - return of native Pacific Northwest salmon and so much more
Private day tours are on a flexible schedule so contact us today to experience a guided tour to Hurricane Ridge, the Hoh Rainforest, Cape Flattery, and other must-see Olympic Peninsula destinations.
On all guided nature tours we will share knowledge and love for
native plants & ancient trees, birds, marine & terrestrial mammals and invertebrates, pollinators like bumblebees, the salmon life cycle, fungi & lichen, amphibians & snakes, and edible biology
With expertise in education, ecology, and conservation biology, we hope to provide safe, fun, and enriching outdoor experiences for everyone, including
international visitors, children, older adults, immigrants, BIPOC, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ+, women, survivors, people with disabilities or limited mobility, and all those who have been marginalized and may be targeted because of who we are.
We recognize that the Klallam, Makah, Quileute, and Hoh peoples have been caring for the land we visit since time immemorial.
Olympic National Park is known as 'Three Parks in One' - Coast, Mountains, and Rainforest. Ochre Sea Stars and Giant Green Anemones dot boulders on the coast and are best observed on a guided tidepooling tour.
The easiest location to view the Olympic mountains is at Hurricane Ridge. Sooty Grouse is one of our Pacific Northwest bird specialties that we can choose to seek out on guided birding tours.
Olympic National Park was almost named 'The Elk National Park'. It is both an International Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site because of protected old-growth forest ecosystems perfect for guided hikes
Experience Olympic is a woman-owned and operated Port Angeles ecotourism company.
