A great day - Rob did a great job of narrating and curating our tour to meet the needs of our group of 8. We saw the puffins, low tide, Canon Beach and even got a trip to Tillamook.

With every penny - Haystack rock - This was a terrific trip to the Cannon beach from Portland and the Haystack rock, a long over due item on my bucket list was finally checked off. Tourist guide Rob of Americashubworldtours was awesome with a wealth of knowledge of the pacific north west. He kept us all engaged all through. When the weather was not very helpful being cold and with low visibility to spend too much time outdoors on the beach, he made detour to include a visit to the Tillamook dairy and cheese factory to see up close and personal how cheese and ice cream are made. Don’t miss tasting the many ice cream choices they have. They are yummy. Both are a must see as well as a visit to camp 18, the first stop after an hour drive from Portland, for its sheer beauty and the very many outdoor giant industrial machinery artifacts they have which makes a perfect back drop for some cool pictures, not to mention the 18 million year old 235 feet tall monolithic haystack rock on cannon beach too. Do yourself a favor and do this trip only with this tour operator, americas hub world travels (#ahwts). I rate them very highly for their professionalism.

Great Way to See the Coast - We loved our tour! My sister & I were able to see the coast from lots of fun spots. Loved seeing the beach and getting great photos. Our guide Jay was funny and knowledgeable. We felt like we saw lots of great spots and could grab some local food & treats. Stunning views. The other patrons were fun to hang out with.

Outstanding Oregon Coastal Tour with Jay! - We recently took the Oregon Coastal Tour with America’s Hub World Tours, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our guide, Jay, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the day both fun and informative. He shared great insights about the area, kept us engaged throughout the drive, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. The scenery along the Oregon coast was absolutely breathtaking — from rugged cliffs and crashing waves to charming coastal towns. The itinerary was well-paced with plenty of photo opportunities and time to explore. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the Oregon coast without the hassle of planning or driving. Jay truly made the trip memorable. Thank you, America’s Hub World Tours, for an unforgettable adventure!
