Amazing - JP was awesome! The flight itself was beautiful. I thought 20 minutes would be too short but it really wasn’t bad.

Not what I was expecting ride - I surprised my husband with a birthday flight from Envi Adventures, specifically booking the Columbia River Gorge tour. We arrived on time, but no one was at the front desk, just another couple waiting. Our pilot, Natasha, eventually greeted us and gave a safety briefing. I mentioned it was my husband's birthday, and we were excited to fly. Although our flight was scheduled for noon, we took off around 12:13. It was a sunny but windy day. I was disappointed that we had to sit in the back, and my window was foggy/blurry while the others were clear. We felt that since we paid the same as the others, we should have a view too. Once airborne, Natasha told us we’d be touring downtown Portland instead of the gorge due to strong winds. I appreciated the detour, but was frustrated since I had already done a downtown tour before. Overall, I was unhappy that I didn’t get to see what the other couple enjoyed while paying the same amount. I've attached images to show my view during the ride.

Too short - The pilot was great. Very polite and friendly. However, it didn’t seem like 20 mins. Just as you are heading out and getting into the gorge it’s time to head back. Apparently the clock starts ticking from the time the engine starts? It takes a good 5-7 mins for the engine to warm up!!! I think the river cruises are better. Great views of the gorge on sternwheeler. Do that instead.
