Great trip - Good value trip. Boat is a bit basic but the trip itself more than made up for this - amazing views of the city and the beautiful scenery, as we made our way along the rivers. Tour guide was very knowledgable and didn't talk too much! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon in the Portland area.

A really great time on the water! - I love bridges, so going past all the local Portland bridges and then going all the way down past crown point was amazing. The scenery of the gorge was beautiful.

Great Svenery a bit long on the boat - Scenery was amazing Weather was super! Staff was lively amd lots of fun stories and history facts and info. We felt it was a bit long and LOUD but staff offered ear plugs.

Great Views from the River - Great views of both the city, Mount Hood and Multnomah Falls from the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Loved hearing about the history of the many bridges we passed under as well as other points of interest along the river. Going along the river was a nice change of viewing everything.

Explore the Portland area by fast boat. Safe, friendly and fun! - Seeing both waterways…The Willamette River and The Columbia River Gorge.
Great information provided over the headset and friendly staff.
Slightly long for me but at least the return journey was faster.

City and bridges highlight trip - Great views of city and bridges! It is a long ride to the gorge that could be better spent just driving to. No comfortable bathrooms at dock or on boat.

Only go if weather perfect - Foggy and rainy, they offered to reschedule but that is worthless when you are flying out the next day. Could see blurry bottom of the falls. Your guy said at one point “if you could see it there is a famous rock out there. Did not go up through the gorge. Seats at front of boat got wet from rain leaks
