Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Prenez un ferry-boat emblématique du centre-ville de Seattle, à travers Puget Sound, à Bainbridge Island sur le chemin vers le parc national olympique.
Traversez le pont flottant du canal Hood.
Un trajet panoramique au départ du terminal de ferry en direction du parc national olympique.
Selon la météo, nous pouvons visiter l'écosystème de la rivière Elwha - qui abrite le plus grand projet de levée de barrage sur la planète Terre!
Il n'y a pas de porte à franchir lorsque vous entrez dans le parc national olympique. Au lieu de cela, vous remarquez soudain que les arbres sont plus grands, la mousse est plus verte et vous ne seriez pas surpris si Sasquatch sortait de la forêt en passant. S'étendant sur près d'un million de kilomètres, le parc national olympique est un autre monde.
Lac glaciaire paisible entouré d'une vieille forêt imposante, le lac Crescent ressemble à quelque chose d'extrait d'un livre de Tolkien.
Une promenade paisible dans la nature jusqu'à une magnifique cascade cachée parmi de gigantesques arbres centenaires.
En fonction de la météo, nous pouvons visiter la côte nord de la péninsule olympique pour un peu de natation dans les bassins et de la photographie.
Lorsque les conditions le permettent, nous nous dirigerons vers Hurricane Ridge pour admirer la vue imprenable sur les montagnes Olympic, la mer des Salish et même jusqu'à Victoria et l'île de Vancouver. En été, nous monterons pour flâner le long des sentiers à travers les prairies subalpines et tenterons d'apercevoir des cerfs et des marmottes parmi les fleurs sauvages. En hiver (fermeture de la route et en fonction des conditions météorologiques), nous marcherons le long de la crête en raquettes et découvrirons à quel point le changement de saison peut être beau.
Nous embarquerons à nouveau sur le ferry depuis l'île de Bainbridge. Alors que nous traversons le Sound, le coucher de soleil illumine la ligne d'horizon de Seattle pour vous accueillir à nouveau dans la ville.
Nous vous déposerons là où nous vous avons rencontré dans la matinée.

Our family had an amazing trip today to the Olympic National Park. Our guide was Marty and we throughly enjoyed the day with him. He was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. In addition the company communicated exceptionally throughout the booking process and they were able to tailor the tour for our needs. The day will be a memory that we cherish forever. The ferry ride over, time on hurricane ridge, the waterfall and crescent lake are more beautiful than I could have imagined.
Claire was a great guide! She went above and beyond.. She gave us so many facts about the history of the beautiful Olympic National Park. Highly recommend..
We had a great experience with Evergreen Escapes at Mount Rainier, so we booked a second tour with them to Olympic National Park and this experience was also fantastic. Our Naturalist guide was Gia Le. She picked us up at the designated time from our hotel. The van was clean and stocked with food and drinks (water, juice). Gia was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We first took the Bainbridge Ferry from Seattle, then drove through a floating bridge to the entrance of the Olympic NP where we stopped for coffee and breakfast cake. Then we took a scenic drive up to the Hurricane Ridge. It was very beautiful there and we even took a hike to the top of the viewpoint. After spending good time we took a drive to Salt Creek Recreation Area where we had a delicious lunch, and sepnt a few minutes by the tidepool. The water views were great. From there we went to Lake Crescent and did a hike in the old growth forest (it was so nice there). Olympic NP is an amazing place where you get to see mountains, water bodies, lakes as well as old growth forest. After spending a good time through the day we drive back to Bainbridge and took the scenic ferry back to Seattle. Gia dropped us off at the requested drop-off point. One thing we really appreciated about Evergreen Escapes is their small-group approach. Gia took everyone's expectations into account while planning the day. We wish her the best and we will definitely consider another tour with Evergreen Escapes in future.
5 Stars – Another Outstanding Day with Evergreen Escapes After having such an amazing experience with Evergreen Escapes at Mount Rainier earlier in the week, we booked a second tour with them to Olympic National Park—and somehow they exceeded our expectations again. Our guide for this trip was Claire, and she was absolutely fantastic. With a background in Marine Biology and Environmental Science, she brought so much depth to everything we saw throughout the day. It wasn't just a sightseeing tour; it felt like getting a personal lesson from an expert who was genuinely passionate about the region. Whether we were driving through the park, hiking through the forest, or taking in the mountain views, Claire was constantly sharing interesting information about the ecosystems, wildlife, geology, and history of the area. We visited Hurricane Ridge, explored beautiful old-growth forests, and enjoyed some incredible scenery throughout the day. One thing we really appreciate about Evergreen Escapes is their small-group approach. Because the groups are small, there's flexibility to adapt the day based on weather conditions, timing, and the interests of the guests. At the start of the tour, Claire asked if there were any specific places people wanted to see. I had seen photos online of a beautiful spot along the water and showed them to her, not really expecting anything to come of it. To my surprise, she immediately recognized the location and knew exactly where the photos had been taken. Even better, after we completed everything already planned on the itinerary, Claire realized that spot was nearby and found a way to fit it into our day. She took us there, pointed out the best areas to explore, and gave us time to enjoy it on our own. It ended up being one of my favorite stops of the entire trip. What impressed me most was that Claire didn't just drive us from place to place—she truly listened to what the group was interested in and went the extra mile to make the experience special. Everyone in our group loved the additional stop, and her knowledge and enthusiasm made every location even more memorable. After two tours with Evergreen Escapes in the same week, I can confidently say this is one of the best tour companies we've ever traveled with. Their guides are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure guests have an incredible experience. A huge thank-you to Claire and the entire Evergreen Escapes team. If you're visiting Seattle and considering a trip to Olympic National Park, don't hesitate to book with them—you'll see amazing places, learn a tremendous amount, and come away with memories you'll never forget.
I had a great solo trip to Olympic National Park, and Mathew made the experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized, sharing interesting information about the park while making sure everyone had a great time. His positive attitude and thoughtful guidance made the day enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Evergreen Escapes and Mathew Card.
We did the Olympic Natl Park tour with Matthew C. Our day was amazing! We were able to make the ferry ride across to start our day, with coffee/tea and great banana bread offered. The ride was comfortable and pleasant to the park, with plenty of great additional info provided by Matthew. The stops and views were phenomenal! We were able to do some short hikes that were the perfect length and filled with beautiful views, as well as great info from Matthew. This was our second tour with this company and we hope to be back for more! We’re grateful for the amazing tours and excellent teaching guides like Matthew!
It was an amazing tour from start to finish. Lindsay was very knowledgeable and showed us all the good spots. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great trip to Olympic National Park with Gia. She was very friendly and open to adjusting the itinerary to suit everyone’s preferences while keeping within the time we had available. This was our first group tour but it won’t be our last!
Really enjoyed this very personalized trip. Our guide Claire was amazing. We learned a lot and enjoyed the day thoroughly!
Awesome tour with Calvin. He was super knowledgeable and shared all kinds of information. He really knows the area well. Lunch and all of the snacks provided were a great touch. The company was on time and communicated well. The tour moved efficiently and on time. Highly recommend.
