Itinerary
Here you'll see what fueled the economy of Portland's Golden Age, 1905-1930, at this roadside museum of logging artifacts. You'll also have time to peruse the gift shop.
Capture a spectacular view of the famous sea stack-studded coastline, featured in movies, and the furthest south that members of the Lewis & Clark expedition ventured.
You'll have time to explore the galleries, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, beach, and Haystack Rock.
Haystock Rock, the most famous sea stack in Oregon, is included as part of a stop at Cannon Beach. You are free to allocate your time among the galleries, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, beach, and Haystack Rock, as you desire.
A mystical beach with sandstone caves, a waterfall, and a 19th Century road carved into the headland.
We'll make stops at Short Sands Beach and Neahkahnie Viewpoint while passing through the largest state park on the Oregon Coast.
Take an enchanting hike through an oldgrowth forest harboring massive Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), western redcedar (Thuja plicata), and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziessii) to a secluded little beach with a waterfall and filled with surfers in wet suits year-round. This is the legendary Smuggler's Cove, formed by Cape Falcon, where The Goonies pirates are rumored to have landed and buried their treasure.
We'll stop at a viewpoint off US 101 on the slopes of Neahkahnie Mountain, overlooking the town of Manzanita and an endless coast of white waves to the south.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Karen!
The tour guide, Marcus, was very knowledgeable and gave us fun facts and history. The stops along the way were spectacular! The 3-hour break in Canon gave us time to explore, eat, and not feel rushed. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for the awesome review, Jodi!
Marcus was the best part of that trip. He gave us great information both on the way there, while we were there, and on the way back. He was also considerate, personable, and informative.

Thank you for the great review!
Although the weather was quite rainy and windy, we still visited all the listed areas and enjoyed seeing the Oregon coast, the Tillamook creamery, and Camp 18. Our group was small so it was personalized.
Provider canceled. Please refund. I tried to cancel online, but it apparently didn't work. PLEASE REFUND.
Hi Glenda. James told me he was canceling directly online, so he must have failed. If you would have called and left a voicemail that you did not receive your refund, rather than going through the hassle of leaving a 1-star review, your refund would have been processed 5 days sooner. I am just now processing it, as I only have time to get online and read the reviews once per week.
