    For the real experience, take a whole day

    Vanessa_N, Aug 2026
    The audio guide is great. Very informative and entertaining. We've done other audio tours through Viator before and really enjoy how convenient and interesting they are. This tour takes 3 - 4 hours BUT I would highly recommend putting a whole day aside if you want to do any of the activities, i.e. hikes, orchard tours, wind surfing, etc. off this route. We only got to do a quick 10 minute hike to a waterfall and a short tour around a hatchery before we had dinner reservations back in Portland that evening. We definitely want to come back see more of those sights. FYI, Multnomah Falls is a reservation-only (til 6 pm) sight during the summer. I thought i could make the reservations the day before because we didn't know what time we'd get there BUT we did not get a chance to see it because they were booked up.

    Hi Vanessa, thanks for taking our Mount Hood Scenic Loop audio tour. We’re so glad the guide was informative and entertaining, and we appreciate your helpful tip about setting aside a full day to enjoy the hikes, viewpoints, orchard stops, and other activities along the route. We’re sorry you missed Multnomah Falls this time, but since your tour is valid forever, you can always revisit and enjoy more of the route whenever you’re ready. We hope to join you on the road again soon!

    A very fun addition to your Mt Hood road trip

    This product works great, you can have music on the the narration will interrupt as you drive along. All of the notes were really interesting, we love in the area but still learned some new things! Notes on parking, stops coming up, how long detours take is all very helpful. My only note is that I couldn't figure out how to keep it running in the background even after following prompting. So I had to keep my phone screen on during use.
