What To Expect
Vista House
Guests will enjoy an interesting narration describing the cultural highlights of Portland and the surrounding area as we head towards the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway in our comfortable high-roof luxury touring van. We pass through the charming community of Troutdale on our way towards world famous waterfall row! The Columbia River Gorge plays host to the highest density of year-round waterfalls anywhere in the United States and abounds with jaw-dropping natural splendor, stunning vistas, lush old growth forests, a plethora of hiking trails and riveting Native American and pioneer history. Our first stop will be the historic Vista House (Crown Point) which dates all the way back to 1918. Guests can use our “million dollar” restroom (which serves as a museum and way station for Gorge travelers) covered in marble and mahogany and enjoy the truly incredible views which complement the elegant architecture of the building. Incredible photo opportunities abound!
Latourell Falls
This 249-foot tall waterfall provides a wonderful example of both columnar and entablature basalt, formed by the numerous lava flows that created many of the impressive geological formations of the region. Latourell Falls is also unique in the fact that it falls straight down from the overhanging cliff above without tumbling off any other surface before hitting the ground below in an impressive eruption of mist (and rainbows) if the lighting is just right! A short trail leads down from the wooded parking area to a true feast for the senses as chartreuse-colored Golden cobblestone lichen pops brightly against the dark natural "cathedral" of lava draped in ferns, salmonberries, clovers, wild cucumber vines, wildflowers of every sort in the spring and summer and towering stands of firs and maples. Drink in the clean invigorating sent of the forest and feel the mist of the falls upon your face while invigorating the soul and the spirit!

This was one of the best tours we've taken in years

5.00Ok, when I first saw all 5 stars for this tour, I had my doubts. Not one complaint? Impossible, I thought to myself. I definitely had to test this out. To my suprise this was one of the best tours we have taken. Adam was an awesome tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. When you search Google for information about Portland and the surrounding area, Google asks Adam. He was so helpful, patient, curteous, and professional... absolutely the greatest. He gave us everything we wanted to know and more. I even loved his recommendation of salmon fish and chips at the Full Sail, which we never had before. It was delicious, especially after his recomended flight of great local beer. He was able to pack so much fun and excitement into one day. The waterfalls were even better than ones we saw on different islands of Hawaii. This was an adventure we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Adam.
Nice trip. Great guide Adam

5.00We came to Portland on a friends’ trip, and this ended up being our favorite tour of the whole trip! Visiting in October was perfect — the fall colors and landscapes were absolutely gorgeous. Cameron was such a great guide, super knowledgeable and fun, and gave us awesome tips on places to check out. We had the best time soaking in all the views and exploring Portland’s beautiful scenery!
Great visit of the Columbia Gorge, Hood River and Mt. Hood

5.00This full day tour was phenomenal. Our guide, Riley, was friendly, super knowledgeable about the area, told lots of stories, was engaging, and very personable. We saw three waterfalls, had lunch in Hood River (super cute town), and then went up to Timberline Lodge which is on Mount Hood. We got plenty of time to explore at each stop. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you Riley!
