5.00My husband and I have kayaked in other areas of the US but this was one of the most beautiful trips we’ve done. We saw bald eagles flying and grabbing fish, multiple ospreys, and other birds. The flowers and scenery were amazing. Our guide Todd gave us a great history lesson of how the area was formed and took multiple pictures for us. He also provided ample instructions for anyone new to kayaking. It’s easy to catch on to the rhythm of the paddles so don’t be nervous if it’s your first time. We highly recommend this trip if you want a unique way to see Columbia River Gorge. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks Todd!

5.00Our morning guided kayaking tour with Bodie was one of the highlights of our trip to Hood River for both me and my college-aged son! It was so calm and peaceful. The scenery was breathtaking. Bodie was a great guide, pointing out many bald eagles and other things of interest along the way. He was helpful and friendly the entire time. Thanks for a fun, yet relaxing, experience!

5.00Andre was a great guide. He pointed out things we would have missed like bald eagles flying overhead, a golden eagle, kingfishers, and an egret. We stopped along the shore to look for agate rocks. It was a leisure kayak trip up the Wind River We had a great time. Highly recommend
