Learn all about the bridge and why it’s not painted gold – despite its name! Then, travel through the rolling hills of California’s Wine Country and stop at Richardson Grove State Park for your first encounter with the giants of the forest, the mighty redwoods. Follow trails that meander among these towering redwoods and amaze your friends with photos of yourself walking straight through a tree!(Full Breakfast / Dinner)

Day 3-4 GARBERVILLE - REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK - GOLD BEACH
Get in touch with your inner green spirit as you travel along the Avenue of the Giants, one of America’s most spectacular roads and best display of giant California redwoods.

Next, drive through Northern California Redwood National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with trees more than 1,000 years old and over 300 feet tall. Anticipation mounts as you cross into Oregon and step aboard a high-speed jet boat for a thrilling ride on the Rogue River. This Congress-designated “National Wild and Scenic River” tumbles and roars from high in the Cascade Range to the shores of the Pacific and is home to tons of native wildlife. Keep an eye out for black bear, river otter, black-tail deer, bald eagles, great blue heron and Canada geese, all commonly seen along the river!(Full Breakfast)

Day 4-5 GOLD BEACH - OREGON DUNES - GLENEDEN BEACH (2 NIGHTS)
Gear up for the trip to Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, a natural wonder of endless shifting sand, unique tree islands and lots of interesting creatures.

Then stop at Heceta Head, a beautiful 19th-century lighthouse that casts its beam some 21 miles out to sea, before continuing north to Gleneden Beach.(Full Breakfast / Dinner)

Day 5-6 NEWPORT SIGHTSEEING - FREE TIME
Kick off your shoes, roll up your pants and wade in the Yaquina Head tide pools for a captivating search for hermit crabs, sea urchins, anemones, sea stars and even the occasional octopus! Your next look at sea life is even cooler, because you’re headed to the Oregon Coast Aquarium – named one of America’s “Most Awesome Aquariums” by Forbes magazine. Come face-to-face with sharks and bat rays in Passages of the Deep – an acrylic walk-through tunnel surrounded by water. With your leisure time this afternoon, maybe explore Newport’s historic waterfront or join an optional Sea Life Cruise; keep an eye out for sea life and marine birds as the onboard naturalist tells you all about your surroundings.(Full Breakfast)

Day 6-7 GLENEDEN BEACH - TILLAMOOK - PORTLAND
Better get moo-ving, because you’re to Tillamook, a city synonymous with the dairy industry. Get the scoop on dairy products during a tour of the Tillamook Creamery and learn about dairy cows. Then you’ll be treated to a fresh waffle cone filled high with your choice of 35 delicious flavours of Tillamook Ice Cream. Next, journey to Portland, where you’ll enjoy a city orientation, complete with a stop at the International Rose Test Garden.(Full Breakfast)

Day 7-8 PORTLAND - OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK
Today you’ll visit the award-winning Mount St. Helens Visitors , dedicated to the active Ring-of-Fire volcano that erupted in 1980. Learn about the legendary blast – an eruption so colossal that it spewed ash into 11 states – as you watch a reenactment of the event and experience interactive exhibits such as a step-in volcano model and working seismograph. After being blown away by Mount St. Helens, venture west to the rugged coast of Olympic National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, the park contains no fewer than three distinct ecosystems.(Full Breakfast / Dinner)

Day 8-9 OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK - SEATTLE
Enter the beautiful Hoh Rainforest, one of the world’s few (as well as the largest) temperate rainforests and trek to the eerie “Hall of Mosses” with trees and branches dripping with moss. Then make a stop at dazzling Lake Crescent before leaving Olympic National Park. Sensational views of the Seattle skyline unfold before you as you make your way by ferry across Puget Sound into the Emerald City. Once ashore in this hip and vibrant town, stop at the historic Pike Place Market, the nation’s oldest farmers market, where the fish fly low – from one fishmonger’s hands to the next! No visit to Seattle would be complete without making the trip to the top of the Space Needle, the iconic landmark of the great Pacific Northwest. This evening, kick up your heels at a fun-filled Farewell Dinner party – here’s to your exciting Northwest adventures and newfound friends!(Full Breakfast / Farewell Dinner)
