The Willimette and Columbia River flow through Portland. By taking a Portland jet boat tour, you can easily explore Portland’s historic bridges, the riverfront, and skyline.

Tours down the Columbia River will take to the historic Bonneville Dam and to Astoria. Both river tours will feature information on the history of Portland as well as the bridges that are so popular.
Some river tours will even have specially trained local historians that will guide you as you learn about Portland. Real adventurers can take a Portland jet boat tour into nearby Hell’s Canyon.
