What you'll see and do
Goonies House
The day starts where a whole generation's idea of treasure hunting started. This white Victorian on a bluff above the Columbia River is the Walsh house from the 1985 film The Goonies. It is a private residence, so we view and photograph it from the public street, keep voices down and stay off the driveway. The current owners are fans who restored the exterior to its 1985 appearance. Your guide will point out the porch, the attic window and the driveway the kids pedal down at the start of the chase.

Hanthorn Cannery Museum
Step into Astoria’s waterfront history at Pier 39, where travelers can explore the Hanthorn Cannery Museum, home to preserved cannery equipment, vintage labels, and photographs that tell the story of the workers who built the town. Stroll along the boardwalk, enjoy river views, visit Rogue Ales’ public house, spot a working tugboat, and listen for the resident sea lions barking beneath the pier.
20 minutes here
Astoria
Pigeon Steps is a charming historic staircase overlooking Astoria, Oregon. Climb the steps for a beautiful panoramic view of the city, Columbia River, and surrounding mountains. It’s a peaceful spot for photos and a memorable stop while exploring Astoria.
10 minutes here
Fort Stevens State Park
Concrete, moss and empty gun emplacements in a spruce forest. Fort Stevens guarded the mouth of the Columbia from the Civil War until 1947, and Battery Russell is the part you can walk straight into: stairwells, magazines, observation posts and gun wells, all open and all quiet. On the night of 21 June 1942 the Japanese submarine I-25 surfaced offshore and fired seventeen shells at this battery, making Fort Stevens the only mainland United States military installation shelled by an enemy during the Second World War. The shells fell into sand and scrub; the confirmed casualties were a power line and a baseball backstop. Bring a phone light for the darker passages.

Peter Iredale Ship Wreck
The most photographed shipwreck on the West Coast, and the easiest to reach: the ribs of the Peter Iredale sit right out on the open beach, where you can walk up and put a hand on them. She was a four-masted steel barque, 285 feet long, built in Maryport, England in 1890 and driven ashore here on 25 October 1906 by a sudden southeasterly gale on a high tide. Every crew member survived. What is left is a rust-red skeleton the tide fills and empties twice a day. At low water you can walk the full circle around her with the wreck doubled in the wet sand.
25 minutes here · Admission included
Indian Beach
For anyone who read the books, this is the one. Indian Beach, inside Ecola State Park, stood in for First Beach at La Push in the 2008 Twilight film: the driftwood shore where Bella walks with Jacob and first hears the Quileute legend that turns the whole story. The production had planned to shoot at the real La Push in Washington and moved here because it was closer to the rest of the Oregon schedule. It earns the stop anyway: a small cove of dark sand held between two headlands, surf breaking over black basalt, Sitka spruce running down to the tideline. Point Break was shot here too. Bring a jacket, it is colder and windier than Cannon Beach.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Ecola State Park
Take in one of Oregon’s most iconic coastal views at Ecola Point, where travelers can admire dramatic cliffs, sea stacks, Cannon Beach, and Haystack Rock from a scenic overlook high above the ocean. Look offshore to spot the historic Tillamook Rock Lighthouse (“Terrible Tilly”) and explore the park’s famous filming locations featured in The Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, and Free Willy.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Haystack Rock
The last stop is the beach itself, four miles of it, flat and wide, with Haystack Rock standing 235 feet out of the sand. The rock is an Oregon Marine Garden and part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge: at low tide the pools around its base fill with sea stars, anemones, chitons and crabs, and from April to early July tufted puffins nest on the upper slopes, one of the most accessible puffin colonies in North America. We read the tide table on the morning of your tour and time this stop to it, because low water and high water are two completely different places. The Goonies ends on this beach.

Amazing Oregon Coast Tour
We had an absolutely fantastic experience exploring the beautiful Oregon Coast with our tour guide, Venson, and our driver, Lian! They both went above and beyond to make our day special. They were friendly, professional, accommodating, and provided truly five-star service from beginning to end. We visited so many beautiful sights and beaches, and they made the entire experience enjoyable, comfortable, and stress-free. One of the nicest touches was that they prepared individual bags of snacks for each of us, complete with water and cookies. It was such a thoughtful gesture that showed how much they cared about their guests! The door-to-door transportation to and from our hotel was also incredibly convenient and made the whole day even better. Venson was a wonderful guide and gave great tips. Lian was a good driver and provided pick up and drop off with convenience at each spot. Together, they made this tour memorable and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour and especially Venson and Lian! If you're visiting Portland and want to experience the stunning Oregon Coast with an outstanding team, this is the tour to book. Thank you both for such a wonderful day and for treating us so well!

In general the...
In general the communication was lacking. Even though I chose English as our language of choice, the tour guide spoke very little English. Beyond telling us how much time we had at each location, he was unable to tell us where we were going, why we were going there or any historical significance. The itinerary stated we would have 40 minutes to wonder Canon Beach and get lunch. However, we were given 2 lunch choices, one of them being McDonalds, and we were not in Canon Beach at the time. We were also not given the 40 minutes to wonder. We were also, not given the 45 minutes to explore Indian Beach. The tour guy did allow is another 10 minutes to explore Canon Beach when we questioned not being taken there at all.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We are truly sorry to learn that your tour experience was rated 2 stars. Your feedback is valuable to us and serves as a strong motivation to continuously improve our service quality. We would like to clarify a few details regarding your trip: * Tour Information: We prepared a detailed presentation using Keynote on an iPad to introduce the attractions, which is why we kept verbal commentary to a minimum. * Cannon Beach & Haystack Rock: Haystack Rock is actually the iconic landmark located right on Cannon Beach. Since Haystack Rock is the main highlight of Cannon Beach, the ample time spent at Haystack Rock was indeed the dedicated time for Cannon Beach. There might have been a misunderstanding that they were two separate locations. * Dining Recommendations: To help optimize your time, we suggested McDonald's, as well as the famous Mo's Seafood & Chowder in Seaside, where you spent about 50 minutes enjoying your lunch. * Amenities: We provided a cooler on board stocked with chilled bottled water and chocolates for you throughout the journey. * Tour Duration & Service: Although the itinerary was originally scheduled for 8 hours, we extended the total time to 9 hours to ensure a complete experience. We also genuinely appreciate the tip you provided. * Extra Care: We also specially prepared fresh, cool bananas for your refreshment during the tour. Thank you again for choosing our tour, and we wish you all the best in your travels. Best regards, Jiuze Travel / Customer Support Team

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.
How much does Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Portland is not rushed.
Is Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Portland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach?
+
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 Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach?
+
Around 1 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 Portland 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 Portland and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach 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 Portland 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 Portland?
+
Portland's activity list is food cart and brewery crawls, Columbia River Gorge waterfall tours to Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood day trips and Willamette Valley pinot tastings. Gorge tours vary in how many falls they reach, so route detail is the deciding factor. On Outty we rank every Portland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Hiking Tour, Full-Day Guided Oregon Coast Tour from Portland, Columbia Gorge Waterfalls and Mt. Hood Tour - Full Day. 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 Portland?
+
June to October for the Gorge, with waterfalls at their fullest in spring. 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 Portland?
+
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.
What is included in Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach?
+
Included: Bottled water; Shared small-group transportation; Entrance fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Portland. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Chinese. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Oregon Coast Full Day Tour Astoria Goonies House and Cannon Beach if the weather is bad?
+
