Highlights
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.

Itinerary
We'll either start or end our day at Rialto Beach, depending on the tides. Your guide will lead you through and educational exploration of the intertidal zone and its truly fascinating wildlife. Most people walk by some of these areas without ever realizing that an entire universe is alive beneath their feet! You'll never look at starfish the same way again...
We'll take an approximate 4 mile hike along the Hoh River. We'll escape the crowds by hiking along one of the less traveled paths in the area. Along the way, your expert guide will explain why this area is so unique and answer questions about this one-of-a-kind ecosystem. We'll be taking our time to really look at the thousands of species around us!
Sol Duc Falls is reached by a moderate, 1.6-mile (round trip) hike.
Pay a visit to this truly amazing tree. An unbelievably massive conifer, this 1000 year old tree was struck by lightening in 2014. It's now a perfect example of the cycle of life as parts of it now serve as a home for new tree saplings.
The pristine waters of this deep, glacially carved lake make it an ideal destination for those in search of natural beauty.
