Hike to waterfalls, wander old-growth forest, and take in Strait of Juan de Fuca views on a half-day Olympic National Park tour.

About this tour

Explore waterfalls, old-growth forest, and coastal viewpoints on a half-day escape from Port Angeles. This Olympic National Park tour pairs short scenic walks with a guided hike through some of the peninsula’s best-loved landscapes.

Start at Madison Creek Falls, reached by a brief walk beside the Elwha River. Then head to Lake Crescent for a guided hike of about 2 to 3 miles through towering forest and along nearby trails to Marymere Falls, a striking 90-foot cascade. The route and walking distance may vary by itinerary. Round-trip transportation in a passenger van and a knowledgeable local guide make it easy to focus on the scenery. Finish with a drive to Tongue Point, where coastal bluffs frame views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The Port Angeles-based Olympic National Park half-day tour operates rain or shine. Bring hiking shoes and weather-ready layers, and confirm your meeting address before setting out. Join the hike for a refreshing taste of the park’s forests, waterfalls, and shoreline in one memorable outing.

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 8.5. Top 16% in Port Angeles means it ranks in the top 16% of tours in Port Angeles by this score.
