Top Eugene Bus & Minivan Tours

Took the Pacific Coast Highway from Florence to Seaside along the OREGON COAST……the views were Breathtaking and we made several stops along the way….we stayed overnight in Florence and in Seaside…..although we traveled in late July it got quite cold at nights especially in Florence….highs averaged in the mid 60’s and it was very windy

I feel like an insider here, having attended the University of Oregon for my undergrad years, going so far as to take a class called "Walk on the Oregon Coast" while at college. From that I fell in love with a little town called Bandon by the Sea, which is as quaint and lovely as the name implies. The class had such an impact on me that I spent every weekend I could driving out and camping along the coast, reading War & Peace while in a tent being pelted by rain, exploring lighthouses, stopping at Mo's for chowder and merrionberry pie (yum). But the best part of all was simply being able to unwind, slowing down to the pace of the ocean, feeling the Pacific against my shoulder. Time stands still here, to borrow the words of Neil Peart (RIP), the legendary drummer from Rush. Wherever I am in the world, I remember the Oregon Coast as the place I most feel human again. Like wearing a pair of faded bluejeans or a baggy knit sweater -- it's how I restore my sense of sanity..

My husband and I have driven the route frequently and enjoy the fabulous views each time. The road winds upward out of Florence with many curves and and views of the sea along the way. There are numerous pullouts and viewpoints where you can get off the highway. Also a number of short drives down to the ocean. It can be a bit slow in summer when lots of tourists are traveling. Normal travel time to Newport is a bit more than an hour. We urge you to make stops to view the beautiful coast line. The ocean is different each time we go as the season changes. We have traveled this route (and the return many times. Some small construction areas involved, but the wait time is generally quite short. We have traveled in many different months. For the question below, we just named one of the many months we have traveled this route.

Jay did a wonderful job he was very personable and knowledgeable thx andy_____ ybfduoeahrfiyervbkuseybkvdkbrkvrsdbvhrbkufh

This tour seemed kinda sketch because there were few reviews but the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The views were stunning and we went to so many beautiful beaches. He found places to stop over I did not even know existed. I loved the whole experience!

Was very impressed of the amount of knowledge of the tour guide. Focus was on the coast which was most impressive. Thank you for the great tour.

Windy and cold the 1st two days but the scenery was fantastic. The various sites - light houses, blow holes, rugged rocky shore line, tidal pools and beaches were littered along the stretch of coast we toured. While one tidal pool seemed like any other from a distance the close up peering into life under the waves was fascinating... People were friendly, accommodating and entertaining. A wonderful trip to a unique part of this great country.
