Relaxing - It was a very relaxing cruise. Would like to have seen a larger food selection. Staff treated us very professional and took time helping those who needed help.

Fun Tourist Experience - My mom was in town visiting and I wanted to find something I had not done. It’s so much fun to be a tourist in your own state! I found this boat tour and thought it would be a fun way to see Portland / the Willamette and I was right! Everyone had such a great time :)

Had a great time with my visiting Mom and family. - My mom who is visiting Portland from California really loved it. My wife and kids were amazed with the beauty of Portland. The trip was informative with the speaker telling facts about Portland. We saw many bridges, which was a fascinating.

Nice boat ride - Nice boat ride but I could not hear the narrative. It was beautiful, and we saw a lot on the river. My suggestion is sit near the speakers.

Nice cruise - The boat was nice and the boarding process smooth. Steep ramp down!! Cruise was smooth but we couldn’t really hear the recording so I feel we missed out on a lot of historical information

Historic - The Happy Hour Sightseeing Cruise is worth it. It’s really cool to learn history while drinking. The views along the Willamette River are spectacular. Definitely get there early to grab a good seat at the upper deck and sit close to a speak so you don’t miss any of the history as it is being narrated.

Fun trip - The trip was fun except we couldn’t hear the narration very well. The speakers were muffled & not clearly audible.

Not a good experience - the trip was not worth for the price. There is nothing special to see with the trip in the boat. The waiting was too long in the sun.
