This is a serious multi-day trek up the Hoh River valley toward Blue Glacier on Mount Olympus, meant for fit travelers who are comfortable carrying a pack and camping. Check the listing for gear, permits and fitness requirements, and expect wet weather.
Rialto Beach Tide Pooling Day Hike
Rialto Beach, near La Push, is known for driftwood and sea stacks, and a low tide exposes tide pools with anemones and sea stars. The outing is timed around the tide, so bring waterproof shoes and warm layers.
Small Group Hiking Tour of Olympic National Park West Peninsula
The western side holds the Hoh Rainforest and the Pacific beaches, much farther from Seattle than the northern entrances, so a small group tour saves a long drive. Expect moderate walking on soft, sometimes muddy trails, and bring a rain jacket.

Why We Picked These Tours
The park splits into separate regions that each need their own drive: Hurricane Ridge and Lake Crescent in the north, the Hoh and Quinault rainforests on the west, and the coast beyond. Driving it yourself takes time. The 5 priced tours here have 2,592 reviews averaging 4.8 stars.
Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle leads on both rating and volume, with 4.9 stars from 1,065 reviews, and it also sets the top price at $368. Small group day tours cluster around the lower end of the range.
Where to Sleep in Olympic National Park
Port Angeles is the main northern base, close to Hurricane Ridge and the Lake Crescent area, and it connects to Seattle by road or by ferry. Forks works for the western rainforest and beaches. Seattle day trips are possible but long, so consider a night on the peninsula.
Timing Your Olympic National Park Trip
July through September is the driest and most reliable stretch for mountain views and beach walks. The rainforest is wet for much of the year, so a jacket is always sensible. Winter brings snow to Hurricane Ridge, storms to the coast and quieter trails.
How Much Olympic National Park Tours Cost
Tours run from $188 to $368, with a median of $239. Olympic National Park Small Group Day Tour w/Scenic Ferry is the lowest at $188. The multi-day trips sit higher or require separate gear, so check what the price includes. Park entry is typically separate.
Booking Tips for Olympic National Park
Wear waterproof layers whatever the forecast, and check tide tables if your plan involves the beach. Cell service fades quickly west of the main highways, so download directions first. Many Viator listings allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
Comparing the Best Olympic National Park Options
Hiking-focused tours reach trails and tide pools that casual drivers skip. The Seattle-based day tour trades depth for convenience, and the private and multi-day options suit those with specific plans or the fitness for backcountry.
