About this activity

Take a tour that lets you immerse yourself in the park. Our guides are master naturalists, botanists, geologists, historians, and - most importantly - relentlessly curious!

Today, you’ll head to the coast for a visit to stunning destinations including the Kalaloch beaches and then the Hoh rainforest. Your group may choose to focus on lots of short stops such as the Tree of Life, tidepool viewing, and Hall of Mosses. Alternatively, your group may opt for a longer rainforest hike along the Hoh River Trail winding through giant old growth forests of Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, and Western Hemlock trees. Along the way, your naturalist guide will share stories of the Hoh tribe, history of the logging industry, and fun facts about the flora and fauna surrounding you.

Groups are capped at 8 hikers. If we don't meet the minimum number of spots booked, registrants will be offered an option to make the tour private for an additional charge or cancel for a full refund.
