5.00This short boat ride down the Willamette River turned out to be very educational and a lot of fun. The weather was perfect on the day we sailed. We sat up top (after reading reviews about people not being able to hear the narrative down below) and had no problem hearing everything. We stood at a table along the side and had a perfect view of the sights along the river, including its many bridges. It was a very relaxing cruise with everyone seeming to have a great time and interacting with each other. Getting on and off was fairly easy but I would not recommend high heels. If you want to sit up top, it seems to fill up very quickly so arrive early.
Nice afternoon excursion

4.00Interesting history shared. Great views and comfortable seats. The second half of the trip other passengers were having personal conversations making it difficult to hear the recording. If you are interested in hearing it all try to sit by a speaker!
