Escape for the day and discover all the rugged and breathtaking beauty that Oregon has to offer. Have your cameras handy; not only will you see stunning examples of Victorian architecture in Astoria but you'll also witness the mighty Columbia River, drive through the coastal villages of Seaside and Cannon Beach and enjoy lush green forests and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean along your route. And that's not all - once you reach the town of Tillamook, you'll visit the Tillamook Ice Creamery & Cheese Factory.
Your full-day adventure begins at the pier and crosses New Youngs Bay Bridge. Sit back and marvel at the impressive views of Saddle Mountain, one of Oregon's highest peaks; the city views of Astoria, and the Astoria-Megler Bridge, noted as the longest bridge in Oregon and at 4.2 miles, it has the distinction of being the world's longest continuous truss bridge.
As your motorcoach winds its way along the 110-mile section of the Pacific Coast Highway, you'll travel through the Oregon Coast Range. This lush mountain range of Sitka spruce, western red cedar, Douglas fir, and hemlock trees march down to the sea and its powder soft beaches. Along your journey, be on the lookout for wildlife such as elks, eagles and blue herons.
Continuing southward, you'll pass Cannon Beach, famous for the natural phenomenon known as Haystack Rock. This iconic stretch of coastline is instantly recognizable as the opening setting of the beloved film The Goonies, adding a touch of cinematic nostalgia to the sweeping ocean views.
In Tillamook, indulge in a visit to the Tillamook Creamery, where you'll enjoy a tasting of the region's most famous flavors while observing the art of cheesemaking. Continuing your journey, take in views of scenic Neahkahnie Mountain for a photo stop at one of the coast's most spectacular viewpoints, where legend and natural beauty intertwine.
Midday, unwind with a relaxed lunch stop at Tolovana Park, which you may recognize as the shoreline from the final scenes of The Goonies. Here, you'll have time to savor your picnic-style meal, stroll along the sandy beach, and take in the fresh ocean air.
Your coastal exploration continues with a stop at the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse Viewpoint, where you can gaze out toward the legendary "Terrible Tilly," dramatically perched on a wave-battered rock offshore.
As you return back to the ship, sit back and take in the ever-changing scenery while your guide shares stories and history of this remarkable region.
