The Experiential Peninsula

What better way to explore the Olympic Peninsula than with a local expert? Immerse yourself with the fun facts, the history, the geology and an insiders' take on what makes the Peninsula unique and special.

Step aboard a chartered tour to Hurricane Ridge, take an underground tour of Port Angeles or a historic walking tour in Victorian Port Townsend. A variety of marine labs offer touch tanks and interpretive exhibits with staff to share their knowledge and tips. Get up close to a geoduck on a shellfish lab tour. Feel the pelt of a Roosevelt elk at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center or paddle with live whales near Neah Bay. The Audubon Center in Sequim has exhibits and staff with the latest news on the birders grapevine. A rafting or kayak guide will have the knowledge and experience to show you the way and share details for a memorable experience.

Olympic National Park offers free programs during the summer season in campgrounds, on the beaches, in the forest and along the riverbanks. Check their website or the Park newspaper, the Bugler, for schedules.

Charters and scheduled tours to Protection Island, Victoria, or the San Juans are availble from the Olympic Peninsula!
