Families with kids appreciate the guides' skill at keeping multiple ages entertained, while corporate clients value the professionalism and partnership approach. If you're seeking a personalized Pacific Northwest adventure with guides who genuinely love the region, this provider consistently delivers memorable experiences.
We had two incredible days of touring with four kids - first day, Cannon Beach and the Astoria area and the second, Columbia Gorge and Mount Hood. From marine life on the beach, to hikes, to small excellent museums, fruit picking and cider tasting we did it all. Apart from being knowledgeable, friendly and super pleasant to be with, Gabe was amazing at woking out exactly what our multi-age group would really enjoy and getting everyone excited (even about rock formations). We would highly recommend him to anyone.
