Portland River Tours

Fantastic way to see Portland! I'm a Portland native and learned a ton about the city. Highly recommend for locals and folks visiting from out of town.

Our family booked the sunset cruise, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Captain Charles provided a fantastic tour, highlighting key points of interest while sharing fascinating historical and cultural insights that made the journey even more special. Watching the city transform from daylight to a glowing nightscape was absolutely magical. Captain Charles was both personable and professional making everyone feel welcome. The heated benches added a luxurious and cozy touch. I highly recommend this tour, it's a must do!!

I was lucky enough to take a recent tour with Captain Charles, and it was a wonderful experience. It was a cooler day, but he had heated blankets already turned on and ready, so I wasn't cold at all! He took me to see several of the bridges, offered detailed history on each of them, and patiently answered all of my silly questions. We even saw several bald eagles! Whether you're visiting or if you live here and want to see the city from a different perspective, I can't recommend Charles or his company enough!

It was gift-surprise for my sister’s birthday. She and her husband were so excited after this trip❤️❤️❤️ It was incredibly sweet, romantic and sweet. They enjoyed it so much. And now they are sharing what a good surprise I made for them. So, thank you for doing memories unforgettable!!!

Amazing river tour on the Willamette River. My family and I had an awesome experience. I highly recommend recommend it to anyone. I’ve lived in Portland for decades and And I saw amazing things on the river after all these years that I didn’t know was here.

“Its a great experience! Skipper Steve was very thoughtful with heated blankets to sit on and blankets to cover up if cold. It was a beautiful day and lovely 2 hours.”

This boat tour was absolutely perfect in every way! A fabulous way to see the city of Portland from the water side -- something we have always wanted to do! Captain Charles did a truly exceptional job as both an incredibly knowledgeable guide, and an extremely capable -- and safe -- boat captain. Everyone in our group had such a wonderful time -- can't wait to take our next tour with Captain Charles to Willamette Falls!!

Absolutely phenomenal experience! We did the two-hour nature boat tour and it was truly one for the books. We spotted bald eagles, various ducks, and even caught a sea lion tossing around its catch—such an unforgettable sight! The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and the wildlife was so active. Captain Charles was the highlight of the trip. Not only did he expertly guide us through the waterways, but his deep knowledge of Portland’s history added so much value to the experience. His storytelling made the city come alive in a whole new way. 10/10—would highly recommend to locals and visitors alike. This tour is the perfect blend of nature, history, and adventure.

This was a boat ride with three fathers with our three sons in town for a football game. Captain Charles was a very kind and enjoyable host, sharing all kinds of information about Portland, all the while, cruising comfortably on the river. It was a great time!

Best trip I have had to Portland yet! Charles was a great tour guide and had us laughing the whole time. Thank you for making this trip for my parents unforgettable. Highly recommended even in the cold months as we just went yesterday. Beautiful! Thanks Charles!!
