Choose your river adventure...
We offer three boat tours to choose from.
2-Hour Scenic Tour
Portland History, Wildlife and Willamette Falls
Beautiful downtown Portland and its bridges are just the start as you jet along the Willamette. Watch eagles and osprey soar over the water, see magnificent waterfront homes, get a splash of Portland history — and an even bigger splash — as one of our skilled pilots spins you around in an open air jet boat.
This tour offers a fascinating glimpse of Oregon’s pioneer history and the early days of Portland’s founding. From shanty towns of yesteryear to the dazzling waterfront homes of today, you’ll get a deeper understanding of Oregon’s largest city, including its importance as a major west coast port.
The highlight of this 32-mile boat tour is the majestic Willamette Falls, the largest waterfall in the Pacific Northwest by volume. Our 2-hour tour is Portland’s most popular river adventure!

1-Hour Scenic Tour
Bridges, Shipyards and Portland Waterfront
This quick tour is packed with history, fun, and splash as we take a 15-mile tour of the Willamette River that shows you Swan Island and the shipyards that put the “port” in Portland, as well the history behind the iconic bridges that earned Portland the nickname of “Bridge City.”
As our jet boat tours Portland, we’ll paint a picture of how the car-filled drawbridges of today used to be packed with horseback commuters and farmers would have to pay a nickel to walk their hogs and sheep across the draw.

Enjoy all the splashes and sightseeing of our 1-hour tour, and add lunch and a trip on the second largest river in the country for good measure. We’ll start our 40-mile journey on the Willamette get a good dose of Portland scenery, then head north to the mighty Columbia River. Halfway through our journey, we’ll stop for a meal at The Deck, a floating restaurant where you’ll enjoy wonderful food in a unique setting.
If the day is clear (we swear, it’s mostly clear in the summer!), we’ll admire Mount St. Helens in the distance. Your food and a non-alcoholic beverage is included in the price of your ticket.
