Seaside Tour-Amazing! - Katie, our guide was amazing. First, her communication prior to our tour was exceptional. She picked us on time and also had her friend Meredith join us to provide insight on parts of our tour. Both were extremely knowledgeable of the area and thoroughly enjoyed our tour. They went above and beyond showing us the sights and it definitely felt like our tour was personalizes. We highly recommend them.Se

Book with Kate - Trust me! - I took my fiance on a NYE trip to tour the PNW, with a stop in Seaside to see the Oregon coast and scout out locations for potential wedding sites.
We were met by Kate, who was really an amazing host. Made us instantly comfortable and was so thoughtful on adjusting the tour based on what we were looking for, on the fly.
Kate is a longtime resident and knows the area inside and out. You can’t do better than having her show you around and getting a feel for the towns, tourist spots, and secret spots only locals know of.
When we return, will not have to repeat any internet research, Kate will be my first call for anything I need in the Seaside / Cannon Beach area.

Highly recommend tour! - It was our first time to Seaside and Cannon Beach and we were looking for a tour that would give us an overview of the area and what to explore. We were so happy to find Onward Adventures.
From the moment we started, it was clear this wasn't a standard, one-size-fits-all experience. Katie and Bill took the time to understand our group dynamic and customize every stop. Their local knowledge made all the difference, helping us navigate to places we would have never found on our own.
And finally, the best surprise of the day was their sweet co-pilot, Bailey! When they asked if it was okay to bring their dog, we enthusiastically said yes, and we are so glad we did. She was such a good girl and made the tour even more special.
If you are looking for an exceptional, personalized, and expertly guided tour that feels more like a day out with knowledgeable friends than a commercial excursion, book with Katie and Bill. Highly, highly recommended!

Beaches, Haystack and Sea Lions - What an amazing time we had with Katie from Onward Adventures on our private tour of the beaches near Astoria. Katie's enthusiasm and knowledge and deep passion of her community shines through. We enjoyed the painted rocks, Seaside and Cannon Beach and a well-timed stop at the Haystack for a low-tide visit. We ended the tour with a sing-a-long with sea lions. And then Katie took us for a delicious steaming hot bowl of clam chowder topped with smoked salmon at Josephine Smokehouse Chowder House in Astoria, a wonderful place that's been family-owned for over 100 hundred years. A great day!

She took us to Hug Point, Haystack Rock, Painted Rock Beach, through Cannon Beach town, and Seaside, etc. She was so very friendly and outgoing; knowledgeable and eager to share her knowledge! Don't miss out on her and her tour!

Our trip was better with this tour! - This was an exceptional tour with Katie of Onward Tours. She was super knowledgeable and very friendly. We loved our experience with her and would book a different tour when back in the area. Your trip would be lackluster if you slept on this guide.

A great choice for an adventure - We were picked up at our hotel at the scheduled time, Our guide, Katie, was wonderful, Very informative. Showed us places we would have never seen, for example, the Lewis and Clark salt works and the painted rock beach, She took us to several fantastic beaches, haystack rock and cruised through Cannon Beach. We saw Elk in town just hanging out, The highlight in my opinion was the stop at Pilot House Distilling. A great place with high quality spirits. All in all, Katie made our experience very enjoyable and memorable. As we were dropped back at our hotel, it felt as though we had just spent the afternoon with a friend. We highly recommend Katie and Onward Adventures for a great time.
