We pick up at select downtown Portland hotels.
Stop At: Camp 18 Museum, 42362 Highway 26, Seaside, OR 97138-6162
Those who want to learn more about logging history in the northwest, or who simply are curious about vintage logging machinery, will find plenty of material at Camp 18. Outdoor displays include multiple steam donkeys such as a Dolbeer single spool, a very early first-generation model, to a high-tech late-model Willamette compound geared yarder that was the height of technology for its day.

We will make a quick stop here on our way to the spectacular Oregon Coast so that you can explore the historic equipment, use the restroom, and buy some coffee if you want.

This was my 2nd tour with this group. The quality was as I had experienced before: beautiful, educational and all together an amazing day. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the PNW coastline!
Highlight of my visit to Portland, OREGON. Breathtaking views of stunning beaches, with lush Oregon Forest backdrops. Great guide...Thank you Denon!
We enjoyed the trip very much. Being in Oregon and unable to drive, it was the best way for us to get to the Coast from Portland. The tour guide was very congenial and helpful as well as very informative about things we saw along the way; he also recommended a place for us to eat fried oysters in Cannon Beach, a special wish of my husband. The trip included all of the best sites along the northern coast, and we stopped long enough to explore a bit.
Aaron, our tour guide, was amazing! Very knowledgeable and outgoing. He took us to some really cool spots. So much fun - even going solo. Would definitely recommend!
Can you afford to visit Portland and miss the Pacific Coast? No! Must visit Canon Beach with its fabulous food and shopping, and tucked-away Small Sand and Indian Beaches which remain in landscapes much like Lewis and Clark saw them!
Beautiful scenery, and Evan (our guide) was so charming and considerate. Absolutely worth the price, you will love it.
We did this tour in mid-October, and the weather was fantastic. Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock were stunning. We visited another beach and a couple of viewpoints as well. Lunch was about an hour and a half break in the town of Cannon Beach. A great day with a decent amount of time at each stop.
We absolutely LOVED this tour! The sights are AMAZING! Our guide, Scott, was personable and helpful in getting us to the best spots. Highly recommend this trip. We walked the beach, hiked in a state park AND recommend it for everyone! This Coast is nothing like East Coast beaches so we were delightfully surprised! Wear walking shoes or no shoes on the beach! Cannon Beach shops -- stop at Coastal Yarns if you are a knitter! Lunch at the Driftwood - you will not be disappointed!! The state parks were gorgeous - green, moss, 4' ferns, enormous evergreens. A Must Do!
I was very impressed with this tour and the tour guide. The ride to the coast was quite beautiful and the beach areas were breathtaking. This tour is a must to get a true feel of Oregon. If you go to Portland and never leave the city, you are definitely missing out on the beauty and history of Oregon. Our tour guide Phil was the best guide that I ever had. He made the tour even more special for us. Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock are a must see. We had lunch while at Cannon Beach and the fish was very fresh and delicious.
EXCELLENT guide, very informative and helpful. Beautiful area. Rained all day so we had to do some alternative activities since we couldn't stay on the beach as long, but those were interesting as well. Hotel pick up and drop off much appreciated.
Jerri is a wonderful guide and a great driver. We had problems because I was not given a pick up location, but we got it worked out and the tour was spectacular, even in a light rain.
If you like crowded tourist spots then this tour if for you. I did the Mount Hood tour a few days earlier and it was enjoyable. This tour is just the opposite! The tour guide was poor. Very little knowledge and her constant eating while driving was very concerning. Would not recommend.
I enjoyed it! Many interesting stops, and a great tour guide that explained the history. I enjoyed everything!
We loved, loved, loved this tour! Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock, Short Sand Beach and Manzanita Beach were great. Evan sp was exceptional!
