Island Wildlife & Nature Private Tour
Just Your Crew • Up to 6 People • 2 Hours
What to Expect
Discover the natural wonders of the Willamette River on our popular nature tour. We cruise past Elk Rock Island, a 40-million-year-old volcanic remnant and sanctuary for peregrine falcons, before circling the Ross Island natural area. Along the way, we often spot bald eagles, osprey, blue herons, deer, otters, beavers, and turtles—and during salmon runs, even sea lions chasing their catch! The river reveals Oregon’s hidden wildlife in the heart of the city, while also offering glimpses of historic landmarks, Hollywood film sites, and even old movie props. A perfect way to experience the wild beauty of Portland by water.
