We had a wonderful cruise, the BBQ was amazing
The captain did a fantastic job with the commentary.
Would definitely recommend!
My husband planned this trip as a 65th birthday and 40th anniversary brunch! The food was fabulous. The ride was exciting. They gave a great historical narration and the weather was wonderful! I highly recommend this trip!
Gorgeous views up and down the Columbia Gorge! Excellent narrative by the captain describing the history, the river, the submerged rapids, Bonneville Dam construction and origins of the mountain names, river rocks (islands), the local tribes, their fishing platforms, and much more! Cascade Locks is a beautiful little town. Bridge of the Gods is picturesque, and you get close for great pictures as you sail under it. Parking is extra but ignore the parking lot instruction signs....read full review
