In addition to our private day tours, we also offer overnight guided tour package for four or five nature enthusiasts.
This might be the perfect vacation for a family, group of four or five friends, or two couples traveling together.
We will plan all the details for a two night Guided Tidepooling Tour Package, please provide us with a few weeks from April to October 2025 that would work for your party. Not all days will have a low tide that is timed well. Email us today at tours@experienceolympic.com and we will send you an expression of interest form.
Our Olympic Tidepooling Vacation Tour Package offers you two nights on the Olympic Peninsula, gets you to the rainforest and mountains in three days, and doesn't require you to rent a car.
Tidepooling can be described as the act of finding and learning about intertidal organisms left behind during a low tide and includes sea stars, anemones, coraline algae, hermit crabs, tidepool sculpins, chitons, and nudibranchs. Besides pools of water in rock or sand, the sides of large boulders are often a refugia worth investigating as well because vertical surfaces are often in safe zones from foot traffic and the Sun. We will visit a local aquarium, enjoy wildlife large and small, and have two mornings for tidepool exploration.
