Well worth the money!

It was a wonderful day getting to see the Columbia Gorge and Mount Hood area. Our guide, Jim, was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of fun facts ( and out-of the-way places). It was a full day in a van, but lots to see and do. Well worth the money!

Mom’s Day with godchildren, Great Food, fabulous scenery and so enjoyable!

The sunset cruise what’s a beautiful way to end our time in Portland. We’re traveling with our two godchildren and thought this might be entertaining. The food and drinks were fantastic. Amazing options and well prepared. The pianist was a sweet audition to an already lovely evening. Lots to see and gave us plenty of time to sit and visit before exploring the ship.

The Oregon Coastal Tour was amazing! ⛰️🌊🏝😎

The Oregon Coastal Tour was amazing.

I have taken so many amazing photos from the Coast trip from Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Short Sand Beach, and Ecola State Park. Would recommend 👌🏾 10/10!!

2-hour Lunch Cruise on Willamette River

Jan_W, May 2026

Just lovely

You might want to arrive 30 minutes early so you can be seated in the upper dining hall where it’s much warmer. But just in case, be sure to bring a sweater or jacket, even if you’re going on a warm day. We went in May, it was in the low 70s, but the wind out on the bow was quite chilly. Also, we were seated on the bottom deck (we didn’t get there early 😉) for lunch, and the AC was chilly. Still, it was a great experience! The staff is top notch, very friendly and very accommodating. Our waiter, Mori, was just the best! The food was excellent, the music was lovely, and the cruise itself was so enjoyable. It was great to see the Portland landscape from a whole different vantage point. Loved every minute of it, hope to do it again, and I highly recommend it for any occasion, but especially for a special occasion. Our trip was very special, a young man popped the question, and she said yes!! Go! You won’t regret it!

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.

Afternoon waterfall excursion

Great way to see the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. I only had 1 free afternoon and this was perfect. Super convenient pick up and drop-off front of my hotel. Branden was super knowledgeable with great info on the geologic history as well as the flora in the region.
