Good value trip. Boat is a bit basic but the trip itself more than made up for this - amazing views of the city and the beautiful scenery, as we made our way along the rivers. Tour guide was very knowledgable and didn't talk too much! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon in the Portland area.

Thank you for joining us on our 7 Wonders of the Gorge Cruise! We're glad you enjoyed the amazing scenery and fun stories from our guide. We appreciate your feedback about the bumpiness of the cruise. We experienced more river traffic than usual this past Labor Day weekend, and the wakes from the boats can make the excursion choppy along certain parts of the river. Every day on the river is different based on boat traffic, the river's current, and weather. Our captain does their best to mitigate these conditions for our guests. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
