Best Father’s Day gift ever! - Had an amazing plane ride with Maile! It was one of the smoothest takeoffs and landings I’ve ever experienced which was crazy considering it’s the windy gorge and the plane is so small. We had such a great time seeing the gorge from above and Maile was so cool in explaining everything we were seeing down below. It was the perfect Father’s Day gift!

Great ride - My husband and I went on two rides with Envi. They were smooth and not much turbulence. I would pick a new route if I even return to Oregon.

DON’T HESITATE TO BOOK - Only in Portland for a few days. Booked this to try and visualize some highly recommended “must see” locations. If I could rate this 100/10 I would. Absolutely incredible experience. Natasha was our pilot - great personality, amazing pilot, knowledgeable. I’ve flown many times before and this was by far the smoothest flight. Great views and great vibes! Worth every penny.

Beautiful to see Oregon from the skies! - My mom and I booked last minute while on vacation in Portland and we're glad we did! It was so fun! The ride is about 50 minutes in a 5-seater plane, taking you up close to Mt. Hood and along the Columbia River. The pilot was really experienced and the take-off, flight, and landing was really smooth.
The views were incredible, for the first point in the trip you are able to see Mt St. Helen, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood all in the same vista! You also get the aerial view of several waterfalls along the the Historic Columbia River Highway. We did the driving tour and saw the waterfalls up close that day, so it was awesome to see it from another perspective.

Great to see Mt. Hood and... - Great to see Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge from this perspective. The pilot was great and very informative. Only negative was I was searching helicopter tours and on the website (see attached photo) it also appears to be by a helicopter. In front of tour length it has a picture of a helicopter.
