2nd ride

Gabrielle_B, May 2026

This was my husband I second ride with Envi. They were smooth and not much turbulence. I would pick do the Portland city tour if we ever return. We got lucky and had a clear day on both tours.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for choosing Envi Adventures for another scenic flight with us! We are so glad you had back-to-back clear days to enjoy the views. Totally would love to have you back for the Portland Tour next time! Definitely the best way to see Portland, Willamette River, and all the bridges in Portland from the air!

Great experience!

Fabulous trip with an outstanding guide/pilot! Got some great photos and learned a lot about Mt. St. Helen!

Pleasant flight

Ronald_M, Jul 2024

Our pilot, John, was very informative as to the sights we were seeing. The flight was as advertised. A helicopter would have afforded us better visibility for viewing and taking pictures with, but all-in-all it was good seeing 4 volcanoes and their orientations.
