About Olympic Tour Company
Olympic Tour Company runs wildlife cruises and guided kayak experiences on the waters of the Olympic Peninsula, operating from Port Townsend at the eastern gateway to the region. A short drive from Port Angeles, the company gives Olympic National Park visitors another way to reach the Salish Sea, focusing on the marine wildlife that thrives in Admiralty Inlet and the surrounding straits.
Their catamaran wildlife cruises seek out seals, river otters, porpoises, baleen whales, and migrating seabirds, with sunset cruises and private charters available for those wanting a more customized outing. On the paddling side, guided kayak tours launch from Fort Flagler — including popular bioluminescent night tours — while self-guided kayak rentals at Fort Worden let independent paddlers explore protected shoreline at their own pace.
Olympic Tour Company distinguishes itself through its dual focus on comfortable powered cruises and intimate human-powered paddling, all centred on the region's exceptional wildlife. Knowledgeable crews and small group sizes make sightings feel personal, and the mix of daytime, sunset, and bioluminescent tours means guests can choose the kind of Salish Sea experience that suits them, from family-friendly viewing to after-dark adventure.
