What To Expect

Your day trip begins early with hotel pickup from downtown Portland. You'll embark en coach for an exhilarating morning drive through the Columbia River Gorge. Catch spectacular views of the Cascade Mountains that flank the river and glimpse a waterfall or two.

Along the forested highway, visit Oregon’s famous waterfall Multnomah Falls. Join your guide and fellow visitors on Benson Bridge and snap a picture of the 611-foot-tall cascade of water as it crashes below. 

Next, continue to Hood River, a picturesque valley town renowned as a prime destination for wind sports. Watch kiteboarders and windsurfers skate across the water as you learn about Hood River’s rich environmental and cultural history. Then take some free time for lunch, shopping or tasting local wines. 

The final stop on your guided tour is the glorious Mount Hood, Oregon’s tallest peak at 11,249 feet (3,429 meters) and Timberline Lodge. Take a mountain walk or a self-guided visit through the renovated lodge that was once the setting for the classic film The Shining.

Your day concludes back in Portland by early evening.

Traveler Tips


This tour is a great option for folks who are in Portland for just a few days but don't want to rent a car but *do* want to see more of the state.
Just need to remember to bring a jacket as cold on top of mountain.
I highly recommend this excursion for a full day of seeing some of the essential sights.

Best adventure of 2023!
Julie_Z, Jun 2023
Our guides John (not Dominic! Inside joke) and trainee Phoebe were so damn smart and kind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again
Relax and let somebody else drive.
Helane_S, Jun 2023
Beautiful day trip from Portland. Eduardo had a lot of knowledge of the area. Would have like more time in Hood River and at the falls.
Perfect day trip to Mt Hood
Tanya_S, May 2023
This tour was super well planned to give us an amazing view and experience of the entire area surrounding Mt Hood. Our tour guide John was the best ever! His knowledge of the area flowed seamlessly throughout the 8.5 hours we were with him. He was kind, funny, and full of cool tidbits of the entire region. We highly recommend him.

Perfect Day Trip from Portland
Hillary_S, Apr 2023
I had a few days in Portland on my own and wanted to see more than just the city. This was a perfect day trip out of the city. We visited Multnomah Falls, and had the time to walk up to the bridge and get a hot drink. We visited Starvation Falls. Had a lovely lunch at a brewery in Hood River and then saw the beautiful Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood. It was a nice size group (10, including the guide), a perfect itinerary and a good amount of time at each stop.

The PNW Charms this Gander
Nate_H, Apr 2023
Wow! Oregon is such a beautiful place! My daughter and I were in town from Michigan and we took the day long tour. Although we had less than optimal viewing at times, thanks to the the weather, we still had a memorable day! And a big thanks to Eduardo for showing us just how lovely it is here. Some highlights included the easy hike at Multnomah Falls, the charming town of Hood River, and the Overlook *ahem* Timberline Lodge. A great way to experience what the PNW has to offer. Thanks again Eduardo! You're not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but you clearly enjoy your work! Thanks for the great experience!

Beautiful Day touring Oregon
Wilfridice_C, Feb 2023
I was in Oregon on a business trip and decided to find online, a day tour of Oregon. I came across this website, booked my tour, and i have to say it was the best thing i did. I had an amazing experience. Oregon is beautiful. Lots of beautiful waterfalls and trail parks. Our toour guide Jeff was amazing, he went over and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. He gave us the history and background of each place we visited. He also became our photographer, always offering to take fotos. Gave us extra time enjoy scenery. We had lunch in a small beautiful city of Mt Hood. A city with the most expensive Goodwill store I've ever seen. It was the best excursion and I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Jeff.

Great Day Trip With Great Scenery
Matthew_D, Dec 2022
Our trip with John, our tour guide, was fantastic. We were picked up right outside of our hotel and pretty much immediately John was telling us interesting stories and details about the city and buildings we were driving past. Once all of our co-day trippers were picked up we head out toward Mt Hood. This part could have been really boring because it's a lot of highway driving to get away from the city but John kept it entertaining. We learned a lot about the geography of Oregon and the history of Portland, the surrounding area, the historic highway, and more. As you can see from my photos, we stopped at a number of very pretty spots to see waterfalls or lookout over the river. John had a lot of good recommendations for food when we stopped in Hood River. We got lucky with weather and on our trip up Mt Hood we were able to pop out above the clouds and get some absolutely beautiful scenes. Overall it was a really cool trip with lots of great sights and a wonderful tour guide who was personable and knowledgeable.

Excellent way to see beyond Portland
Amanda_B, Nov 2022
Great way to see some of Oregon’s beautiful nature without venturing too far outside of Portland! Thoroughly enjoyed views of the Columbia River and Mt. Hood and visiting Multnomah Falls. Our tour guide was excellent and gave us a great deal of info about where we were visiting as well as some Oregon and Portland history.

Easy day out in Oregon
Xindi_L, Nov 2022
This was a really easy day out to enjoy. Having spent a fair bit of time in Portland itself, it was great to get out there and experience some of the beautiful natural surrounds. The tour stops were easily accessible and enjoyable, the guide shared great tidbits of information, and nothing about the day felt rushed.
