    Hurricane Ridge Snowshoe guided tour

    Had an awesome time! Highly recommended. Eric and Ronnie were great guides and the scenery was beautiful.

    Highly recommended!

    Excellent experience! A group of 6 of us , first time snow shoeing with varying ages and agility took the guided tour with Eric and Pete. It was a fantastic experience! The guides definitely enjoy what they do. They were always checking on us, providing us with tips and ensuring everyone was doing well. They know the routes best, what to look out for and which layers to take off when exerting ourselves! Pete also had great jokes as he does improv. Eric's experience as a guide and fun facts regarding the growths on trees was interesting. Lunch was excellent. This is the way to go and the shuttle driver was great on the twisty roads up.

    Highly recommended winter adventure

    I wanted to snow shoe on Hurricane Ridge for the longest time, and I decided to go with a guide so I could just relax and enjoy myself. It was so worth it! Tommy was great at making me feel welcome and getting to know me. The guides were constantly checking on everyone and customized the trek based on everyone's needs. We had perfect visibility and it was a wonderful experience!

    Who is Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 6-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $200, above the $153 typical for similar experiences in Port Angeles.

    How much does Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Angeles is not rushed.

    Is Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Angeles can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hurricane Ridge Guided Snowshoe Tour in Olympic National Park start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Angeles within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Port Angeles?

    +

    Port Angeles, WA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Port Angeles by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Port Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Olympic National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Day Tour, Hoh Rain Forest and Rialto Beach Guided Tour in Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge and Sol Duc Guided Tour in Olympic National Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Port Angeles?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Port Angeles, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Port Angeles?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
