Additional Information
We highly recommend this trip! It’s one of the most extraordinary outings worldwide, journeying down the historic lane constructed for Model Ts while observing the marvelous Columbia Gorge beneath you. We transport our guests and their bikes in cozy vans, and our escorts accompany our small groups. You’ll receive individualized attention and the safest trip possible.
Unlike any other engaging tour of the gorge, we narrate tales that are newly emerging from this area. Beyond the era of 180 years of settlers and lumberjacks, before the 100-year-old lane, this was a territory of people possessing a vibrant mythology. We recount tales that have been passed on to us by the native people as accurately as possible.
You’ll explore waterfalls that aren’t included in other trips, with active hiking and a relaxed tour timeline. Our aim is for you to have fun – whether you are travelling solo or with a larger group. Suitable for those aged 13 and above. (We can also handle much larger groups travelling together, feel free to inquire!)
Location

Awesome experience! Would recommend to any visitor! - We loved our bike tour in Portland. I’d never done a bike tour before, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. For us, we only had a limited time in Portland, and so having the support of a guide allowed us to see virtually all that was available for 6 hours. Super knowledgeable guide, who gave us all the tips on the hikes that were worth seeing and those that were more underwhelming than what the internet might lead you to believe. I would 100% do another bike tour both in Portland and all the scenic places I’d like to adventure.

Unbeatable adventure! Wonderful guides - Beautiful views, fragrant air, while we were riding, great bikes, beautiful waterfalls! It was so fun! The staff was so patient, making sure everyone had bikes that they were comfortable with, and felt good on the road. One of the other people was super nervous, and the guide was so sweet, letting her take a break from riding when she had enough. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The tour was beautiful and the bikes were superb!
Our guide Felipo was extremely knowledgeable and would adjust everything to the groups needs :)

Great day! - Scotland, our tour guide, was a wealth of information from beginning to end! His knowledge depth goes beyond Portland and he was truly dedicated to his craft of shining a light on his hometown. Enjoyed biking and hiking the gorge area! Scotland took great care of us!

More direction and warning would’ve been helpful - We began about 15 min late because tour guide was cleaning the van; this probably should’ve been done prior? Tour guide had some good info but wasn’t thorough enough with directions and warnings and estimated time the different hikes should take, where we should meet her, etc. Very lax about things that should’ve been more precise.
