Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Director Park, 815 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205-3084
Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Ecola State Park, Off Hwy. 101, Cannon Beach, OR
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.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Haystack Rock, Us 101, Cannon Beach, OR 97110
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.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Cannon Beach, OR 97110
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.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Oregon Coast Highway 101, OR
For the afternoon, we'll head south on the famous Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Highway 101) to explore more beautiful coastal shores.
Stop At: Neahkahnie Mountain, Oregon
Upon Neahkahnie Overlook, we’ll stop to enjoy stunning views along the highest drive-able point along the Oregon coast!
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Oswald West State Park, Cannon Beach, OR 97130
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!
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Director Park, 815 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205-3084
We'll the end the day arriving back to downtown Portland with a drop off back in Director Park.
Duration: 5 minutes

Will kept things interesting by providing great information about Portland, the Willamette Valley and the forests on the way to the Coast - he is very knowledgeable and has an engaging and pleasant personality. Although it rained most of the day we still enjoyed all the sites we visited and did see a variety of forest and coastal areas. We did a couple bonus stops for photo ops, especially when the sun peeked out for a few minutes. Just a delightful day - I highly recommend Wildwood Tours, and want to thank Will for being such a thoughtful and interesting guide!
Our tour guide was full of interesting facts which helped a lot during the drive. He was friendly and kept us on schedule without being too pushy. The coastline was stunning and well worth spending the full day. We especially enjoyed wading close to Haystack Rock.
The only complaint I have is the seats in the back of the van were very narrow even with just 3 of us. One of the seats you end up sitting on the part of the belt that you click into making it very uncomfortable. On the drive the ride was Very Bumpy coming and going. Shocks may need to be checked. The tour guide was knowledgeable and had interesting facts to share.
Exploring the Oregon coast with Devin and Wildwoods Tours was an awesome experience not to be missed if you are in the Portland area. Devin is an excellent travel guide. The day was delightful meeting others on the tour, seeing the beautiful Oregon coast and the forest area leading to the coast. I would love to have a multi day trip to cover all of the Oregon coast.
When I asked my friend to go on this tour with me of course I was nervous -- who wants to be the travel buddy that books a bad tour? This was anything but that -- it excelled in all areas. Our tour guide, Brin, was full of knowledge about not just Portland, or the coast, but of Oregon as a whole. We learned a lot while laughing and exploring! Brin had water and snacks and the van was top notch! A nice touch was the umbrellas that were provided -- much appreciated towards the end of the trip when it started raining. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
Aaron took us on a great trip to the Oregon coast, packed in loads of knowledge and history on the way, and then gave us photo opportunities galore as we looked down onto Cannon beach, then walked on it, out to Haystack Rock before seeing other coves and bays down the coast. We had time for a relaxing lunch and then also an afternoon walk through ancient rainforest to the sea. Great day out!
Jesse was a fabulous tour guide and made the trip. Treated us and made us feel like long time friends from the time we met him. Extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. Thank you for everything Jesse. Sites were beautiful and what an awesome area to see.
Our guide was awesome and most knowledgeable . We saw some amazing beaches and got to see some caves.
I highly recommend Viator tours. This is one of many I have taken and never been disappointed. This tour had everything - comfortable van, great driver/guide, and fantastic views! The Oregon coast is not to be missed.
We throughly enjoyed the Oregon Coast tour. The bus was clean and our guide Andy was one of the best guides we ever had. The sights are beautiful with great stops at Ecola State Park, Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, etc. Definitely a tour you don't want to miss!
