Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Oregon

After meeting you at the starting point, 833 SE Main Street #124, we'll head out in one of our comfortable vans. The tour all takes place in the Columbia River Gorge, in the waterfall-laden western end of an 80-mile (130-km) canyon.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Multnomah Falls, Interstate 84, Troutdale, OR 97014

Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and one of the most impressive, and most photographed, waterfalls in the U.S. If you're chasing waterfalls: this is the one many are seeking to catch.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Latourell Falls, Guy W. Talbot State Park., Corbett, OR

Latourell is the most impressive of the plunge-style waterfalls, tumbling over layers of 15 million-year-old columnar and entablature basalt frosted with lichens and, according to local legend, carries the spirit of a Beaver princess who led a tragic life. At Latourell, you'll have the opportunity for a longer hike, up to 2 miles or 3 km. Breathe deep: you'll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Vista House, 40700 E Historic Columbia River Hwy, Corbett, OR 97019-9725

**Vista House is currently open limited hours! If it is closed, we will stop to take photos of this architectural icon and see the view.**

At the most beautiful rest stop in Oregon, we'll stop, take a walk to the upper deck (weather permitting), learn about the architectural history, and enjoy what could be the most expensive public bathroom in the Pacific Northwest. We'll also remember the Wasco people, who found this one of their holy places.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Portland Women's Forum State Scenic Viewpoint, 39210 Historic Columbia River Hwy, Corbett, OR 97019, USA

View an expansive vista of the Columbia River Gorge, take photos, and hear the story of who was here before us. We'll also tell you how the waterfalls were created. **Due to road closures we sometimes replace this stop with an alternative.**

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Bridal Veil Falls State Park, Columbia River Scenic Highwy, Milepost 28, Corbett, OR 97019

This hidden waterfall is one of the state's most visited and most romantic. A 2/3 mile, 1km hike takes us down to the gorgeous spot that we believe is a genuine fairy land. **Due to weather or traffic conditions or road closures, this waterfall is sometimes replaced with an alternative!**

Duration: 30 minutes

This tour is amazing. I love waterfalls and we got to see 4 of the best ones here in Oregon. Ahna (I may be spelling her name incorrectly), is an excellent tour guide. She's so much fun. Love her spirit. Highly recommend this tour!

It was a wonderful tour! Ana was very knowledgeable even of plants, wildlife and Portland spots. She was pleasant and eager. I had an enjoyable waterfall hunt on a historic highway.

From booking on the phone with Sarah, to the end of our tour we were pleased with the whole experience. This tour was a perfect combo of driving and walking. We had great views of 3 waterfalls, the Columbia River Gorge and some surrounding highlights along the way. Our tour guide (Ana) was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the areas, pointed out significant flora and fauna, and knew good places to eat in Portland as well. She has a lovely voice that's easy to listen to and she's quite articulate, entertaining, and friendly. She drove very well and gave clear instructions and really made the tour special. Would definitely book another tour and would ask for Ana!

This is probably the best $90 CAD I've ever spent - for what you get, the price is unbeatable. The tour guide was lovely, the van was spacious and air conditioned, and the scenery - WOW. I've done a lot of camping in Canada and must say that I was still blown away with the Oregon forest and the falls. You can get right up close to most of them and feel the mist of on your face while listening to the roar of the water - it's unlike anything I've done before. It BLOWS Niagara Falls out of the water - there you can just look at it for a bit from a distance, this is up close and personal. They do bike tours as well which I fully intend to come back and do! I went down to Portland to see if the dream of the 90s was still alive (it is!) - and as a bonus I basically went to Forest-Narnia. Awesome!

The trip was fantastic, there were two vans on the trip today, our guide was Scotland and he provided a ton of historic facts and relavent information and really made the tour that much more enjoyable. The waterfalls were awesome and even though I went on this trip solo, all of the other folks on the tour were enjoyable and we all had such a great time!

Beautiful tour! Our guide was full of useful information and we saw four of the most beautiful waterfalls we have seen in our lives. We took the afternoon tour on a Friday and it was an enjoyable way to spend our last day in Portland. There are little hikes to get closer to the waterfalls, and we had enough time at each one to enjoy each stop. 100% recommend this tour.

Everything was perfect! It was a very hot day-90 degrees - but the van was very nice and the air conditioning worked great. Water and snacks were offered all the time. And the falls - we stopped at 4 - were breathtaking!! Our tour guide Anna was extremely knowledgeable and provided information the entire trip. Not only about the history of the gorge (floods!) but about Portland as well. She was delightful. I had a fantastic time. Such a great way to see the gorge while in town for a short time with no car. Loved this tour and highly recommend!!!
