From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.
After the morning drive along the Sunset Highway, Oregon's first automobile route through the Cascade Mountain Range, we'll meander through a lush Sitka spruce forest to Ecola State Park. We’ll momentarily leave the vehicle behind and explore this coastal oasis. If time allows, we may also travel back through the forest to Indian beach. This secluded pocket hides away from much of the summertime crowd and is a favorite spot for local beach combers.
After leaving the Ecola State Park, we will be sure to visit Haystack Rock, a sea stack just off the shore of Cannon Beach made famous by its resemblance to its namesake. Claimed to be the third tallest “intertidal” structure in the world, it is a huge basalt rock that was formed by lava flows over 15 million years ago! Here we’ll walk along the sandy beach, watch beautiful birds circle the rock, and if we’re lucky and the tide is out, we’ll view many species of marine wildlife in their natural tide pool habitat.
The town of Cannon Beach will be the backdrop of our lunch stop for the day. Guests will disperse for free time and are able to take their pick of several small-town eateries, each boasting their own eclectic menus.
For the afternoon, we'll head south on the famous Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Highway 101) to explore more beautiful coastal shores.
Upon Neahkahnie Overlook, we’ll stop to enjoy stunning views along the highest drive-able point along the Oregon coast!
We'll journey to Oswald West State Park, aptly named after the Oregon Governor Oswald West. Governor West is credited with ensuring our vast Oregon coastline would remain open for public use. Our stop in the state park will be tide and group dependent. We may opt to take a short, forested hike following along Short Sand Creek which opens to a driftwood stacked coastline known as Smugglers Cove. A variable from this stop may be a short visit to Hug Point if the tides are low. Here, we are typically able to walk around the point to view a small coastal waterfall!
We'll the end the day arriving back to downtown Portland with a drop off back in Director Park.

Andy knows! He is very bright, intuitive, and attentive to all passengers. The weather was rainy and windy. Andy made sure our experience was not marred by that little issue. Andy knows so much about the area be it a tree a town a candy shop he knew!
Amazing views and an amazing guide! We got a great amount of time at each location and great recommendations for spots to eat! I would definitely do this again or a different tour with this company!
This was a great tour of the incredible Oregon coast, I was thinking on all the stops that this is something you couldn’t see anywhere else in the world.
This was a wonderful introduction to the coastal beauty of Oregon. I am visiting Portland for a week, and of course I could have drove my rental car over myself but this is not only great convenience, but Mark is a great guide as well, sharing stories and interesting facts about the area along the way that I wouldn't have got going it alone. That makes me appreciate an area much more. He is also super caring and considerate of everyone on the tour. You have a lot of fantastic lunch options in Cannon Beach, and if you choose to visit the candy store there, don't be like me and get just a few pieces of chocolate... you'll regret it when you run out! The walking we did through trails was very light compared to other tours I have done, so accessible to more people who may have some mobility issues but of course, you are still walking dirt trails, with rocks and tree roots, and potentially slippery surfaces so still be mindful of that. Thanks Mark, would happily take another tour with you again!
Incredible experience! Our tour guide, Mark was knowledgeable and fun! Spectacular views and an amazing guide!!!
We had a wonderful tour of the Oregon Coast with Aaron, visiting Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park, and Short Sand Beach. Short Sand Beach was definitely the highlight of the day! Aaron was an excellent guide and incredibly knowledgeable. He knows so much about the area, including the environment, plants, wildlife, and history. He made the tour both interesting and enjoyable. A great day exploring the Oregon Coast, and I would definitely recommend Aaron!
Eric was a great driver. You feel safe. He has a deep knowledge of the ecology, food, geography and any random question you have about wine. It’s was not a wine tour. It was the coast tour. He asked if we needed more time to enjoy the areas we visited. 4 people in our tour. Perfect! Great way to spend the day with a super person.
I generally avoid group tours but didn’t want to rent a car and drive the Coast blindly. Our tour guide Daniel was not only personable, but a wealth of knowledge and fun facts about the ares we visited and the history. Although our van was full it was comfortable with frequent stops and the chance to get out and spend some time in nature. A very worthwhile day!
Chuck was great, very knowledgeable and passionate about Oregon. Perfect tour
This was a dedicated tour of the oregon beaches and coast. We learned so much from our tour guide, Aaron. He was very nice and knowledgeable; we took breaks throughout the day, had lunch at Cannon Beach, and frequently stopped to stretch our legs. During the tour we saw Elk, sea ducks, and sea lions. We saw many of the natural cliffs and rock formations.
