Seeing both waterways…The Willamette River and The Columbia River Gorge. Great information provided over the headset and friendly staff. Slightly long for me but at least the return journey was faster.

Thank you for sharing your experience on our 7 Wonders of the Gorge jetboat cruise. We're glad you enjoyed exploring both the Willamette and Columbia rivers, and that you found the audio information and our staff helpful and friendly. We appreciate your feedback on the tour length - it's designed to cover a lot of ground, but we understand it may feel long for some guests. Thanks again for choosing our tour!

Foggy and rainy, they offered to reschedule but that is worthless when you are flying out the next day. Could see blurry bottom of the falls. Your guy said at one point “if you could see it there is a famous rock out there. Did not go up through the gorge. Seats at front of boat got wet from rain leaks

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologize that the weather conditions weren't ideal during your trip. We understand your frustration about rescheduling, especially given your travel constraints. Weather in Oregon can be unpredictable, and we always aim to provide the best experience possible within safety limits. Regarding the boat, it's important to note that our vessel is an open-air design with zip-up windows so some moisture can enter during rainy conditions, especially when going at higher speeds. We'll review our pre-trip communications to ensure guests are well-informed about the boat's design and potential weather impacts. Our tour does indeed go into the Columbia River Gorge area, with Multnomah Falls, Rooster Rock and Crown Point all point in the Gorge be cruise by. We're sorry if there was any confusion about the extent of our route. We appreciate your feedback about the guide's commentary during limited visibility. We'll work with our team to improve descriptions and engagement during challenging weather conditions. Thank you for your honest review. It helps us continue to improve our service.

I love bridges, so going past all the local Portland bridges and then going all the way down past crown point was amazing. The scenery of the gorge was beautiful.
