Four days on the wild Olympic coast.
Day by day
Four days between the Pacific and the rainforest, eight people, one van and one guide. We follow the tides, walk where the trails are quiet in winter, and sleep three nights by Lake Crescent.
Expect six to ten kilometres a day on easy trails, long lunches out of the wind, and evenings with no plan at all.

Ways to go
“Maya timed Rialto to the minute: we walked out to the sea stacks at low tide and had the whole beach to ourselves.”
HannahSeptember 2026 · Shared room“Eight people, one van, no rush. The lodge dinners alone were worth the trip.”
MarcusSeptember 2026 · With a friend“It rained for two days and nobody minded. Maya had dry socks, hot soup and a plan B for every trail.”
PriyaAugust 2026 · Shared room“I hadn’t hiked in years and never felt behind. The pace was set for the slowest of us.”
TomásAugust 2026 · Shared room“The tide pools at Rialto were the best hour of my year. Bring a camera that doesn’t mind rain.”
LenaJuly 2026 · With a friend“We booked the whole van for our team. Maya changed the route around our two non-hikers without a fuss.”
