The tour follows a relaxed pace, with time to float, observe nature, and take photos rather than rushing. With stable kayaks and attentive guidance, it’s well suited for both first-time paddlers and those seeking an easy, enjoyable outing on the water.

What are people saying about Portland

Bryan_K, Apr 2026

A great way to experience a new city

Wear comfortable walking shoes. Dress accordingly in layers. Bring a bottle of water. Arrive hungry because you will definitely be full by the end of the tour. Our group ended up only being the 3 of us in our family, but our guide, Isabel made the experience such a great one. From the food we ate, to the knowledge about the city that was shared, Isabel made our first visit to Portland an amazing memory.

Fantastic Portland Food Tour!

We had such a blast with David on our food tour! He was so knowledgeable about the area and history, and what really struck us were his genuine relationships with each of the restaurant/food truck owners we visited. He knew their stories and really put a nice personal element onto the visits. We tasted a variety of items - breakfast egg sandwiches, Lebanese curated chocolates, Japanese food truck sandwiches, spicy noodles, Thai chicken dishes, shave ice, and London bus pub drinks. (Apologies if I can't remember everything about the food; there was so much, large portions, and a ton of information...but I think I captured the highlights.) :D There was a lot of walking but it was well paced and what I would call relatively easy for most potential participants. If you're new to Portland, or even if you're a local, you will definitely enjoy the experience and all the deliciousness that comes with it. And special thanks to David for putting up with my calling of food truck pods "clouders". It started as a joke then just caught on for the rest of the tour. He's a trooper and very fun to spend time with without a doubt. HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Half Day Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour

Jim was the best!!

We actually just wanted to book a tour to see Multnomah because we heard parking was difficult. This tour ended up being FABULOUS. Not only were the views and falls beautiful, Jim was absolutely the best guide ever. He gave history not only about the falls but for all things Oregon! We had a great time and would 100% recommend this tour, appropriate for all. Note, Jim never made any of us feel rushed and he was sure to let every person go at their own speed to get the full experience of the falls and their beauty. Absolutely fabulous!

A Must Do in Portland!

We booked this tour a few days in advance when we realized we wouldn't know how best to explore Portland, and the tour quickly became a highlight. Kelly did a great job teaching us about the city, infrastructure, and her passion was infectious, along with great recommendations for food and things to do! We felt safe riding with her guidance and the pace was perfect for sightseeing.

Really awesome tour. All...

Really awesome tour. All of the waterfalls were gorgeous. Tour guide Jeffree was super knowledgeable and friendly. Only complaint is that by booking through Viator we weren't offered hotel pickup and didnt know that was an option. We spent $30 ubering to Migration Brewing for the pickup only to discover they had picked up other people from our hotel.
