I booked the Willamette Falls tour when visiting my son and his family. Making the reservation was a breeze and Captain Dominic pulled up right as scheduled.Because they had such a good time, my youngest grandchild insists on writing the review! The boat tour was amazing. It was a perfect day for a boat ride. We saw a golden eagle, and Captain Dominic brought us to Willamette Falls. It was amazing! Captain Dominic talked to us a lot and some of our group even got to steer the boat for a little bit of the way back. Captain Dominic explained a lot about the history of the places we saw, and it was very interesting. It's an amazing tour and we highly recommend to anyone. It's especially great for tourists because you can learn a lot about Portland. It's also great for locals, because you can explore and have fun with friends and family. A great way to wrap up your day after the boat ride could be swimming at the beach. I mean, after looking at water for 2 hours straight, it's irresistible to jump in, right?

I did the Sunset Tour with Portland River Tours, and I brought my puppy along! It was such a great experience. The captain, Dominic, explained the bridges and their history in a really clear and interesting way. The two-hour tour ran perfectly on schedule and felt smooth and easy the entire time. The boat itself was very comfortable, with heated seats that made the whole experience warm and cozy. We even saw eagles, sea lions, and otters, which was amazing. The weather was perfect, and seeing the cherry blossoms from the water made it a unique and unforgettable experience. The captain was very kind and patient, especially since I’m not from Portland (I’m from Ecuador), and I really appreciated that. Also very pet-friendly—he even let my puppy “drive” the boat LOL. Since I was by myself, he kindly took photos of me and my dog. Highly recommend Captain Dominic!
