A bespoke, private full-day journey along one of America's most dramatic coastlines — towering sea stacks, cannon-fired sand dunes, and hidden coves — with a knowledgeable local guide setting every stop at your pace.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the pier and whisks you south along Highway 101, pausing at Cannon Beach's iconic Haystack Rock, the thundering surf at Ecola State Park, and the charming village of Seaside. Stops are tailored to your interests — wildlife, photography, cuisine — and the guide's insider knowledge ensures you never wait in a crowd. Gourmet picnic or restaurant lunch is arranged in advance to match your preferences. The return is timed perfectly to your all-aboard, with your guide monitoring the schedule throughout.
Good to know
Book directly through ToursByLocals and specify your ship's all-aboard time at booking. Full-day tours run 7–8 hours; confirm the pickup point at the Astoria pier when reserving. Pre-booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead is essential for private guide availability.
