The Pacific Northwest has a character all of its own with some of the most spectacular coastal and mountain scenery anywhere in the United States and exploring it by car also lets you turn up at Oregon’s renowed world class vineyards!
Our 15 day “The Best of Oregon & Washington” tour includes flights, car hire and accommodation and lets you discover this natural wonderland and some vibrant cities that at the same time seem to have a have slower pace of life than their continental cousins.
Start in Portland with its diverse neighbourhoods and great shopping yet that still maintains a friendly, small-town atmosphere, and drive southwards to the breathtaking beauty of Ecola Beach State Park in Cannon Beach for unforgettable views of the spectacular coast.
For some retail therapy drive on to Eugene and Lincoln City with tax-free shopping at Factory Stores, Oregon's largest outlet or explore the 48 mile stretch of sand dunes on a dune buggy ride.
Crater lake, The Cascade Mountains, Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and the volcanic Lava Butte rising 500ft above you all await you as you journey southwards towards Seattle.
With its amazing café and music scene Seattle also has some stunning public art – including a 7-ton bronze statue of Lenin and a giant troll under a bridge. Go to the top of the Space Needle which at 605 feet provides a 360 degree view of the city.
Then drive down to Washington via a ferry across the Puget Sound, see Bald Eagles soaring high above the water and rain forest lakes bordered by huge trees, ending your tour at never to be forgotten Columbia River Gorge.
