- Latourell Falls - Located in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, Latourell Falls is part of Guy W. Talbot State Park. The Historic Columbia River Highway runs nearby, offering glimpses of the Lower Falls from the road. From above, the entire waterfall is visible.
- Multnomah Falls - As the most frequented natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest, Multnomah Falls attracts over 2 million visitors annually. Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the waterfall’s flow varies, peaking in winter and spring. It’s an excellent location in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area for studying geology revealed by floods.
- Beacon Rock - Beacon Rock is a 57,000-year-old remnant of a young cinder cone, now recognized as the latest extrusion of the Boring Lava Field. The Missoula Floods of the ice age eroded the volcano’s sides, leaving a standalone monolith that is now a prominent symbol of the Columbia River Gorge.
- Bonneville Lock & Dam - -

What a start to my birthday - This was a birthday surprise. Natasha did a fantastic job of joining the festive mood, sharing interesting information about what we were seeing and making sure we didn’t miss anything important. She is a gracious, thoughtful person who is enjoying her new career and sharing the beauty of the gorge and city with her passengers. I would recommend her and this outing to anyone. It was fascinating to see our home from above.

- KJ was our pilot and he was great right from the start. I got to sit up front while hubby was behind me. The views were stunning and we took so many pictures. Whilst in the air we had the choice to continue the time and do the mountains as well, which we opted to do. It was well worth the add on. I do not like heights but KJ put me at my ease and I soon forgot about that with all the amazing sights we saw. He was not only an ace pilot but a great tour guide. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone. A great way to see the sights. Kay and Stewart, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Wonder Waterfalls and A Beaitiful Sunset - Absolutely AMAZING tours. The waterfall tour was gorgeous at 6:00pm, flying back with the sunset was phenomenal. Our pilot was Taylor and he was superb, made us feel safe the whole way through, and had absolute control over the plane to give us the most amazing aerial shots possible. 100% ask for Taylor if you have the option to! Eagle-eyed and sure-handed, you'll get great pictures and amazing history info. (Plus he spotted Elk and a wedding from 2000ft. and got us great shots of both.

Up and Away - Davis provided us with this first class tour of the gorge. Patiently answering all questions about how the plane works and weather, to showing all the water falls and landmarks along the way.

Amazing. A MUST if you’re visiting or a resident! - What an amazing experience! I got this as a gift from some friends and it was incredible. I went with my boyfriend and we went right at sunset and the views were amazing. Taylor was a great guide and pilot. He was super friendly and pointed out all the landmarks and sights while in the air.

Serine waterfall tour - The flight was lot’s of fun. The pilot was awesome. I had a scared kid, and he’s clearly worked with kids before. He made a real effort to ease her comfort, and she had a great time. He was very entertaining, and friendly. Worth going again.

Glory to God for His Creation! Seeing it like THIS is mind-blowing. ❤️ - If you’re thinking about it. Do it. It’s a lot of money but worth every single cent. God’s creation is AMAZING and see His handiwork of mountains, waterfalls, the river, and THE SKY above the clouds during sunset 😍 put us in awe of our wonderful Creator. Glory to Him! I couldn’t help but softly sing “How Great Thou Art”. It was incredible and a view like this of this part of the country is usually a once-in-lifetime opportunity. Smooth ride and perfect host who was willing to talk as much as or as little as we preferred and was excellent at knowing what that was without us even having to say so. 100/10 recommend and will do it again if we have the chance!
