My mom and I booked last minute while on vacation in Portland and we're glad we did! It was so fun! The ride is about 50 minutes in a 5-seater plane, taking you up close to Mt. Hood and along the Columbia River. The pilot was really experienced and the take-off, flight, and landing was really smooth.
The views were incredible, for the first point in the trip you are able to see Mt St. Helen, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood all in the same vista! You also get the aerial view of several waterfalls along the the Historic Columbia River Highway. We did the driving tour and saw the waterfalls up close that day, so it was awesome to see it from another perspective.

Great to see Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge from this perspective. The pilot was great and very informative. Only negative was I was searching helicopter tours and on the website (see attached photo) it also appears to be by a helicopter. In front of tour length it has a picture of a helicopter.

Thank you for the feedback, but unfortunately we don't have any control over how search engines like Google filter their search results, and we also don't have any control over the default icons that third-party suppliers like Viator use to show information about tours they are selling. But we really appreciate you flying with Envi Adventures on our Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge air tour!

Do not book this tour !! Envi adventures and Viator are the 2 worst companies I have ever dealt with and I travel a lot ! They are not accomadating and they will give you false information about your trip!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
We’re sorry you feel this way, but it might be helpful to put why and how we are “the worst” into context.
For starters, all of the information you need to know about any of our flights is listed on each listing; none of which is false information.
When you book a flight, each listing requires the weight(s) of each passenger be provided and also includes a note that a group cannot exceed a certain weight. This information is important for weight and balance purposes on the airplane to make the flight safe and helps us calculate how much fuel is needed. With your booking, we only received the weight for one passenger which is what we planned for. When you arrived, there was more than one passenger and the total weight was obviously more than what we were provided and more than what we were safely and legally allowed to fly with. To accommodate this, we offered to split your group and take you on two separate flights so that the flights would be under the weight limit to which you declined. We are required by law to follow the weight restrictions for the safety of each flight and we’re not going to compromise safety for convenience.
You’re request for a refund was denied for a couple of reasons: first, the lack of information provided to us by you to help us plan appropriately, and second, you didn’t want to split the flights as offered and requested to cancel the flight. We had already invested time and money in preparing your flights and per the cancellation policy, a cancellation within 24 hours is not valid for a refund, and your cancellation was within 24 hours.
So, again, we are sorry, and if you’d like to come back and take the split flights as originally offered, you’re welcome to do that without any additional charges. Just send us an email and we’ll get that arranged for you.

Really fun and beautiful experience. Our pilot was super friendly and full of information. For those who might be hesitant due to motion sickness, it really isn’t that bad! I popped a Dramamine and felt fine the whole ride.
Response from Host, Jul 2021

This is a fantastic tour! We felt safe and comfortable with our pilot Corey. He pointed out everything there was to see (and what we could see if it were a clearer day) making for an informative tour on top of the beauty! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2020
