Private Northern Oregon Coast Day Trip

8 to 9 hoursFree Cancellation

Biking on the roads and highways around the mountain we call Wy'East -- after the Indigenous name -- has been described as one of the most beautiful rides in the world. From stunning vistas to a profusion of summer wildflowers to towering forests and lakes glinting through the trees. Small waterfalls tumble down the sides of the andesite lava walls of the mountain; valleys with countless mountains rolling away in the distance are all around. We offer routes at 23, 40 and 60 miles depending on your interests and the group, with some significant elevation change but more downhill than up. E-bikes are an option. Cycling Wy'East is an exercise in approachable adventure; with 23-60 miles (40-100 km) of riding from near the timberline down into the nearly sea level town of Hood River. Our adventure is adjustable for your experience level but this is the most challenging of our many bike tours and anyone's day tours offered from Portland. Lunch stop, on your own, is part of the day.

Discover Portland's storied past on a walking tour that explores its scandals, legends, and quirks. The perfect tour for those who like history with a wink, a shiver, and a dash of unexpected! This walking tour begins in Old Town, where we pull up the cobblestones to reveal the ghosts of rough-and-tumble early Portland.

Along the way, you’ll learn why Portland earned the nickname “Little Beirut,” how an Oregon governor once funded a rock festival, and how the city’s Naked Bike Ride became an unexpected symbol of protest and peace.

What are people saying about Portland

susan_l, Oct 2026

wouldn't have missed this tour for the world.

This tour exceeded our expectations. It was far more than just a tour of waterfalls thanks to our guide, James, who had extensive knowledge about the geology of the region which explained the existence of so many impressive waterfalls. I can't say enough about how James enhanced the whole experience.

A perfect way to experience the best of Oregon

This was a fantastic tour, combining the beautiful scenery of the Columbia River gorge, walks to multiple waterfalls, a fun lunch stop in the cute town of Hood River, a yummy fruit stand stop and a visit to Timberline Lodge on Mt.

Oregon Coast Tour from Portland

Josh_K, Sep 2026

Stunning Tour Through Oregon's Majestic Beauty, and a Delicious Seaside Lunch

This was a wonderful introduction to the coastal beauty of Oregon. I am visiting Portland for a week, and of course I could have drove my rental car over myself but this is not only great convenience, but Mark is a great guide as well, sharing stories and interesting facts about the area along the way that I wouldn't have got going it alone. That makes me appreciate an area much more. He is also super caring and considerate of everyone on the tour. You have a lot of fantastic lunch options in Cannon Beach, and if you choose to visit the candy store there, don't be like me and get just a few pieces of chocolate... you'll regret it when you run out! The walking we did through trails was very light compared to other tours I have done, so accessible to more people who may have some mobility issues but of course, you are still walking dirt trails, with rocks and tree roots, and potentially slippery surfaces so still be mindful of that. Thanks Mark, would happily take another tour with you again!

Scenic 2-Hour River Cruise to the Willamette Falls!

Hugh_F, Jul 2026

Be a hero! Take family and friends on this tour!

See and learn new facts about Oregon, in a highly entertaining way!! I had family from out of town and local family, and they were amazed at the Falls and the animal life. The captain showed us a volcano in the Willamette River we (my local family) never knew about. My local family was blown away by that because we thought we knew it all . All kinds of nature - bald eagles and entire Osprey families. and for you history types, close up views of the historic hydroelectric plants. Needless to say, I am a hero with my family.
