Explore Olympic National Park at your own pace with GPS directions, offline maps, and audio stories from Hurricane Ridge to Ruby Beach.

About this tour

From glacier-fed lakes and alpine peaks to mossy forests and wild Pacific beaches, Olympic National Park packs remarkable variety into one road trip. This self-guided audio tour lets you explore on your schedule, with narration that plays automatically as you drive.

Visit signature destinations including Hurricane Ridge, the Hoh Rain Forest, and Ruby Beach, then follow GPS directions to hikes, waterfalls, and lesser-known stops. Along the way, hours of audio share stories about the region’s history, local heroes, champion trees, and wildlife. An offline map, travel tips, and activity and restaurant recommendations help you plan as you go, while the flexible start and never-expiring tour leave room for spontaneous detours.

Download the Shaka Guide app and tour before you arrive, and check ahead for seasonal road and facility hours. Restaurants are limited, so pack food and secure any required park passes or reservations. Set out when you’re ready and discover Olympic National Park at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.62 from 13 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Port Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
