Definitely a 5 star experience! - My daughter and her friend actually went in place of my son and I but I know they had a wonderful time and they would definitely recommend to others. I also plan on booking another flight for my son and I very soon.

Perfect adventure, well worth the price! - Planned a ride for my son's 12th birthday in April. I am a bit late getting around to writing my review and have since forgotten our pilots name, which is a shame because he was WONDERFUL! We took a short flight as I had no idea if my son would enjoy the experience nor how uncomfortable the plane might be. We all had an amazing time! You couldn't wipe the smile off of my son's face for at least an hour after. We allowed him up front to enjoy the view, see the controls, and ask about 1,000 questions of our patient and professional pilot. Sitting in the back was surprisingly comfortable (better than my husband's sports car!) We can't wait to try some longer trips to view the beautiful PNW from the air. I HIGHLY recommend Envi adventures!

Great way to start your day - Enjoyed an excellent first of the morning tour over downtown Portland/Gorge area. We have lived in Portland for over 30 years but have never experienced a flight over the area on a small private plane. Very enjoyable time with our pilot and tour guide, Clay. Would highly recommend.

Weather Cancelled - will try again - Would give 5 stars but weather cut our flight short. Not their fault - Davis still tried to fly and took us over the Columbia River but had to take us back down when the wind caused some worrying drops in speed. We had a short trip but they tried and will give a full refund. We will try again next time we’re in Portland!

Great experience and service, but not properly advertised - I first want to state that our pilot Spencer was wonderful in every way. He was very invested in our experience from start to finish, and my rating would be "excellent" if it only pertained to him. I'm being generous by saying "average," simply because I hate to reflect badly on him in any way. I'm not sure if my complaint should be directed to TripAdvisor (who does not appear to have a way for me to contact them directly) or with the provider company Envi. The writer of this booking description did not prioritize the customer experience by providing accurate information. My brother and I booked this tour as a Father's Day gift for our dad - planning that all 3 of us would enjoy the experience together. We were specifically seeking a helicopter ride, and booked this trip only because it was advertised as such. Although we were asked to give the weight of one person at booking, I couldn't find any information that stated a maximum weight for the group. When we arrived, our first surprise was that we could not all 3 be included in the ride. Spencer was great, and he figured out a way to allow us to book a second trip so we could still all participate, though this doubled our cost. The second surprise was that this was a plane tour instead of a helicopter tour. Spencer did everything in his power to make this a fun outing for us, but he couldn't turn his plane into a helicopter and he had to charge us for the second trip. We made the best of a pretty disappointing and unexpectedly expensive situation, but we will not be trusting TripAdvisor descriptions in the future.
