Amazing— highly recommend! - Great tour— perfect amount of time at each stop and lots of variety! Doug, our guide, was very knowledgeable and gave lots of great suggestions for continuing our exploration of the Portland area. I was a solo traveler among a group of 3 couples, and I still felt very welcome

So beautiful and fun. Trip highlight. - Highly recommend this tour. They were willing to take us even though it was a small group. We also went during the week and at least this time of year, the crowds were low and we were able to see things quickly and with few visual impairments. The waterfalls were all so beautiful and unique. Our guide was great to point out the different rock/lava formations, some animals, and plants. It was the perfect tour to take to get an overview of the area. The guide was also knowledgeable about Portland and the surrounding area so he was able to give recommendations for other places to visit and eat.

We had a great experience... - We had a great experience with Waterfall Shuttle! The trip was well-organized and didn’t feel rushed, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop. What really stood out was the tour guide — he was knowledgeable about the local environment and history, which added a lot of depth to the experience. They kept us engaged the entire time!
Another thing we appreciated was their hospitality. After a long day of hiking and exploring, it was a relief to be dropped off directly at our hotel rather than figuring out transportation ourselves. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable outing, and we felt well taken care of throughout the day. We highly recommend Waterfall Shuttle!

Worth every penny to see so many waterfalls without having to find them yourself! - This trip was a last minute decision to fill in some idle hours on our vacation & I think it will end up being a highlight of the entire week! Alex was INCREDIBLE! He was knowledgeable, safe, very thorough, and took us to some great spots. He is also a really good photographer when he snaps your pic with your phone at the falls. 10 out of 10 would recommend this tour. It was awesome!

A really fun sunset tour. - Such a fun tour day trip out of the city. Taylor was such a great tour guide and timed our day perfectly to see the sunset from the perfect spot! He even made us some hot chocolate to have while we watched. You can tell how much he loves what he does as he’s so excited to share his knowledge with the group and with such enthusiasm. It made for a great tour. Cannot recommend enough especially if you know Taylor’s your guide. 💖

Fantastic waterfalls experience! - The guild is very experienced. He introduces the waterfalls in detail, very helpful in taking picture, and took us behind one of the waterfall for fantastic pictures. He is also well prepared and gotten us to catch sunset right on time. Strongly recommended, especially for those wanting to visit many waterfalls in 3 hours.

What a disappointment - For some reason, I was not put on the manifest for this tour, even though I booked and paid for it 4 months in advance. I continued to get reminders up until the day of the tour. When the time came for the bus to be at the pickup location, and no one was there, I reached out via Viator app. No one answered me, so I had to ask the staff at Migration Brewery for a contact number for the people running the tour. Luckily, they had a number, and after calling twice, I was able to get someone on the line. I spoke to one of the owners, Kayla, and she told me that not only was the time on Viator wrong, but I was not put on the list for pickup. An oversight for the company- they should update all the platforms they advertise on to make sure their information is correct.
Seeing as I only had one full day in Portland, I was unable to reschedule the tour, and I was unable to accomplish the one thing I wanted to do while here. Kayla was apologetic (not as apologetic as I think she should have been, but that's just my emotion speaking), and she went through Viator and issued me a refund immediately, but my trip was ruined due to some sort of oversight. Since she was able to find my reservation so easily on Viator, it really does make me skeptical as to why they wouldn't double check on their end that all reservations are added to the manifest.
As a fellow small business owner, I expect honest reviews and welcome ways that I can improve. While Kayla was efficient in taking care of the refund, and really there is nothing else she could have done seeing as I was leaving the next day, I can't help but send out a warning to anyone who is looking into booking with this particular tour. Do your due diligence and contact them directly to make sure you don't get left off the manifest, and don't depend on the (many) confirmations you get via app or email.
