A great choice for an adventure - We were picked up at our hotel at the scheduled time, Our guide, Katie, was wonderful, Very informative. Showed us places we would have never seen, for example, the Lewis and Clark salt works and the painted rock beach, She took us to several fantastic beaches, haystack rock and cruised through Cannon Beach. We saw Elk in town just hanging out, The highlight in my opinion was the stop at Pilot House Distilling. A great place with high quality spirits. All in all, Katie made our experience very enjoyable and memorable. As we were dropped back at our hotel, it felt as though we had just spent the afternoon with a friend. We highly recommend Katie and Onward Adventures for a great time.

Seaside, Cannon Beach and More - Like any Tour, it’s the Tour Guide that makes the experience enjoyable. Katie loves what she does and it reflects on the Tour we had. Small groups are personalized and better accommodating and our journey was just my wife & I. Hearing about the local lure and customs was unique. Drive bye and stops were organized and made you want to return later. Great package for all which puts you in the seaside life, history of the past and why Lewis & Clark stopped here. Thanks, Katie!

Unusual Beaches and Interesting Little Towns... You Get Both led by an Engaging Guide - The fascinating tour heads south out of Astoria toward the two lovely little towns of Seaside and Cannon Beach, each with its own character. Dotting the route are gorgeous, unusual beaches. Perhaps our favorite was Hug Point, featuring caves, little waterfalls, unusual rock formations and shell mosaics nestled in cliff sides, but that beach is just one of many highlights we could mention. Katie, our well-informed guide, clearly loves sharing her area with others, whether she's discussing history, birds, or recommending good places to eat. When we are back in the area, we'll definitely contact Onward Adventures for another tour.

Great Tour!! - Had a great time with Katie! At the start of our tour, she asked us what we wanted to see so the tour was customized. Katie was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. She gave us ideas on where to go if we wanted to return on our own. If you’re looking for a tour of the area, we highly recommend Katie!

Katie was a very nice... - Katie was a very nice tour guide who’s also the owner of the business. Katie checked in often with our likes and dislikes and offered multiple recommendations on what to do and where to go. She seems like someone willing to change the tour plans if there is something specific that people want to be seen.

Fabulous Guide, Fabulous Time! - First of all, Katie, our guide, was THE BEST!! We felt like family the second we met her. The day of our tour had some inclement weather, but that didn’t slow us down one bit. Katie still had lots of great ideas up her sleeve and provided an exceptional tour despite the weather setback. She knows all the best spots for photo-ops and is well versed in the history and nuances of the area. We can’t wait to come back and do another tour with her!!
