Use The Links Below to Cruise the North Coast
With so much to see and do on Oregon's north coast, and of course Washington's south coast, a knowledgable local guide can make your visit very rich indeed. Our guides are well versed in the fantastic history of the area, the best places to eat and spend the night, and naturaly all the fun places to visit, and the best times to do that. Let a North Coast Ambassador step on your tour bus and give a lively, interesting, and accurate narrative about life on the lower Columbia River, both past and present. Or let us arrange a tour bus to pick up your group at a location of your choice. Or simply have an ambassador meet you and your party at various locations of interest so we can give you complete information about the area you are visiting. Step-on-guide services run only $20 per hour, with a two hour minimum.
Girl
Scouts enjoy 'Smores, two nights in a KOA cabin and an educational trip
to Ft. Clatsop, April 15, 16 2005. North Coast Ambassadors are certified,
trained park rangers/interpreters at Ft. Clatsop. These scouts learned
quill-pen writing and how Lewis and Clark used flint and steel to make
fire.
Start with a night in a log cabin at the Astoria-Warrenton-Seaside KOA. Enjoy a campfire talk presented by a qualified Lewis and Clark interpreter from Ft. Clatsop. Board a bus the next day for a visit to Ft. Clatsop, Lewis and Clark's 1805-6 winter campground. Join our ambassador for a fully narrated tour through Astoria to the Astor Column, wind through hilly streets to see historic Victorian homes before a visit to the incredible Maritime Museum. After the Maritime Museum and lunch, our ambassador will take you aboard the tour bus across the Astoria - Meglar bridge to "Dismal Nitch," the exact spot where the Corps of Discovery nearly lost everything just miles from their destination. Find out how they survived and where they made their final campground on the north side of the river.
Stand near the location of Station Camp and hear the story of how Sacagawea and the slave York participated in the important decision making process that steered their fate for the next 5 months.
We will "proceed on" by bus to Cape Dissapointment and the Lewis and Clark interpretive Center. A stop in the sleepy fishing village of Ilwaco for shopping will top the day before heading back to KOA for a soak in a not so historic jacuzzi, a swim in the pool, or just some relaxation at the campfire that evening.
The tour above is just an example of what we do. Everybody's intertests are a bit different. You may already have spent time with Lewis and Clark history and are looking for a new experience on the north coast. Maybe a trip to Seaside and a hike around Tillamook Head, with a box lunch at Indian Beach at Ecola State Park sounds more fun. Whatever your interest, North Coast Ambassador Tours can make the arrangements. We can set you up with lodging, admission, and even reservations at parks and museums to ensure that all your activities are successful and enjoyable.
We work with local businesses to provide discounted lodging and meals for groups of all sizes. We pass these discounts on to you. Quite often, the cost of your stay at the North Coast, including the tour guide, comes to less than you would spend if you came down on your own.
We will be very happy to take digital photos of your group during the tour, so that you may bring memories of your experience home with you. If you are spending the night, we will process the photos to a CD in .jpeg format and present them to you the next day. Or we can mail the finished disc to you. All photos become your property to do with as you wish. Additional CDs may be ordered from us for a fee of $10 per CD.
