Nice views and well worth it

We had a great time on this tour. Went under several bridges and enjoyed the city lights. The staff are very friendly and engaging. I would do it again.

Great vibes on the Willamette

We cruised as a family (kids 7 & 8 yo) and everyone had a great time. Above and beyond hospitality and just a perfect way to spend the afternoon and enjoy the beautiful views. I would definitely recommend this activity to other families or adults w/o kids. The games and stories were entertaining and made for a party atmosphere. I’m thankful for this company to be in town. We’ll be back on the water with them soon.

“All aboard” the Tiki Boat for a fun time!

If you want a boat ride while in Portland, I highly recommend the Tiki boat. The boat is very stable, plenty of room to sit or walk about, and protected from the sun and wind under the Tiki roof. There is an optional bar with drinks and snacks if desired. The views of Portland along the Willamette River are particularly beautiful while at the water’s level. I have been on the Willamette kayaking many times, but I totally enjoyed seeing all the sights and scenery from the Tiki boat. The staff is very pleasant and shared interesting facts about the sights along the river. Our tour took us past the Sellwood Bridge, behind Ross Island, past multiple floating houseboats, under 5 bridges and past the the Fremont bridge for an up-close look at the large freighters that transport grain or concrete to the storage facilities. I will definitely bring family and friends visiting Portland for a Tiki boat ride for a truly enjoyable yet relaxing experience. (Rumor has it that the 3 hr trip to Willamette Falls is especially worthwhile.)

Highly recommend!

We had so much fun! A great way to enjoy yourselves while also seeing the sights on the Willamette River. We played some fun games and got to meet other people.
