About this experience
An unforgettable tour of the Columbia River Gorge's top 5 waterfalls and the Crown Point Vista House. With Waterfall Shuttle the views are better, the crowds are lower and you get an expert guide to show you around in a small group. Plus, we pick up from over 50 Downtown Portland hotels so you can access the wonder of the Columbia River Gorge without a rental car.
Starting from your hotel in Downtown Portland, we start with a 45 minute drive out to the Waterfall Corridor. Working our way back one waterfall at a time we spend 2.5 of the 3.5 hours walking around and exploring each of the waterfall state parks. Plenty of time to take pictures, enjoy the natural beauty and make unique memories.
Waterfall Shuttle is a tour designed to show visitors the best of our area. We strive to create unique and memorable experiences so that your time with us is some of the best of your whole vacation.
