A guia Deveria falar menos e mais devagar para ter mais objetividade. O barco esta muito mal conservado e a “janela” central tao estragada que se perde a visao frontal do passeio. Infelizmente com o tempo chuvoso e nublado nao vimos o mt Hood. Nao recomento.”
Review of Portland’s 3.5-hour jetboat cruise through the Columbia River Gorge, with bridge views, waterfalls, live commentary, and practical tips.
“Everyone was really nice but the experience wasn’t our fave. We really wanted to love i and we were super excited to spend the afternoon on the water to see PDX and the gorge from a different POV. The boat was super loud, it was hard to see outside from the way the boat seating was arranged, and it was a bit underwhelming. It’s a long time to be out on the water and just wish it was more comfortable for that length of time. Oregon is beautiful though and there are def some interesting nuggets of intel mixed into the tour by the guide.”

The tape went on and on about Bigfoot...Not only up the river but back down..Cut that in half and add more history, geology natural history into the trip.. l heard that the week before that a trip before got canceled because of mechanical issues and I don't know how they were able to fix the mechanical problems in the 40 minutes before the next trip went out.”

“Captain Scott is terrific!! First, we booked this tour, because it seemed like a fun event we could do with the entire family 12yrs to 65yrs! And, Yes it was! Captain Scott’s directions and communication of the meet up point were on point. He was so easy to locate. He gave us the overview and safety details and we were quickly on our way. We loved touring the Willamette River on the Jet Boat. The boat is unique to the river terrain and Captain Scott is a local who loves sharing his love of boating, the river and the history of the area. Our family would 100% recommend this tour…”
