    Review of: Half-Day Columbia River Gorge and Waterfall Hiking Tour
    Lots of waterfalls
    Anna was super nice and added a lot of information about the history of the falls, the road and much more. I came with my two kids and we all loved it.

    Review of: Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls and Mt Hood Tour from Portland
    The best way to visit Columbia Gorge and Mount Hood areas!
    David our tour guide gave us the best information on the area, fun facts, and excellent tips at each stop. We loved the waterfalls, lunch in Hood River, and the best views of Mount Hood from vistas points and also at the Timberline Lodge up close. Leaving the driving, parking, and details to our experienced tour guide allowed us to enjoy the views and see the very best of Columbia Gorge , Hood River, and Mount Hood

    Review of: Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour from Portland
    Waterfalls galore
    Awesome half day tour with a guide that was not only knowledgeable but passionate about the area. Our van was full but we all wore masks unless we were outside at the falls. Malia's energy and sense of humor was contagious and even when stuck in traffic we had a great time.

    We had an excellent, knowledgeable guide, Scott. He gave good info and knew the stops to emphasize. We liked all the stops. it was a full 8 hour day. Most of the stops were before mid afternoon and the ride back to Portland was a couple hours.

    Best trip ever!
    This trip was amazing! We went to several look out spots with great views of the beach and the coast. It was a little cold so I’d recommend bringing a sweater or a jacket.

    Review of: Hike and Bike Tour to Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls
    Hike and bike to waterfalls!
    Active and fun outdoor activity in Portland. Easy bike rides between the waterfalls. Great way to see all of the falls and no hassle wait parking! Our guide, Carrie, handled all of the details and we just got to enjoy the scenery and biking.

    Review of: The Mt St Helens Adventure Tour from Portland
    Amazing!
    I was looking forward for this tour since a while ago and I am simply amazed by breathtaking places we visited. My favorite were Ape Caves and the forest with the really old Cedars. Our tour guide Ben was super nice and patient, we were just 2 people in the tour and neither of us spoke English as a first language. But Ben always made sure we understand everything and that was really appreciated.

    Review of: Explore Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Small-Group Tour
    Great tour with so many waterfalls packed in
    This was a fantastic half-day tour, with our tour guide Cher Ausmann-Moreno providing so many interesting facts about all things relating to Portland, Oregon and Columbia River and its waterfalls. We were treated to seeing so many waterfalls in such a small amount of time, with Cher also taking photos for us along the way while we enjoyed ourselves. Amazing tour!!

    I was the only person who took the tour so it was just me and Rowan. Rowan was very friendly and knowledgeable and I learned a lot to great information about Portland and the park. It was a good hike and very rewarding.
