Pacific Northwest Tours

The best part of any Pacific Coast trip is what you actually do once you arrive. Whether you’re stepping off a cruise ship for the day or road-tripping down the coast, these are the tours, day trips, and experiences worth booking ahead — from whale watching and food tours to national-park adventures. Browse by destination below, and book whatever catches your eye in a few clicks.

Seattle & Mount Rainier

Harbor cruises, Pike Place food tours, flightseeing over Puget Sound, and full-day trips out to Mount Rainier National Park — the easiest add-ons before or after a Seattle sailing.

Portland, Oregon

Food-cart crawls, Willamette Valley wine country, waterfall tours, and walkable neighborhoods — Portland is made for a slow, tasty day or two.

The Oregon Coast — Astoria, Cannon Beach & Newport

Whale watching, lighthouse and film-location tours, dune rides, and coastal hikes all along Highway 101, from the Columbia River down to the central coast.

Columbia River Gorge

Waterfall drives, Multnomah Falls, sternwheeler river cruises, and jaw-dropping overlooks just east of Portland — one of the most scenic day trips in the Northwest.

Olympic National Park

Rainforest walks, Rialto Beach tide pools, Hurricane Ridge, and full-day guided hikes on the wild Olympic Peninsula.
