    What you'll see and do

    1. Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

      You’d be hard-pressed to find vistas as stunning as these. At the western end of the Gorge, the view from Crown Point is a front-row seat to the mighty Columbia as its unfurls and cuts through the Cascade mountains. From there dozens of awe-inspiring waterfalls spill from basalt cliffs, lining the Historic Columbia River Highway, like famous Multnomah, Horsetail, Bridal Veil and Latourell falls. The landscape seems to grow bigger, grander and brighter as it rolls east.

    4. Latourell Falls

      Latourell Falls is a gorgeous waterfall that has the distinction of being the closest major waterfall of the Columbia River Gorge to the City of Portland. It possesses remarkable overhanging columnar basalt cliffs that allowes Latourell Creek to do a 249ft free-falling plunge with no contact with most of the underlying cliff, making it in one of the more unique such waterfalls in the gorge.

    5. Wahkeena Falls

      The 242-foot falls is a tiered type of waterfall, named after the Yakama word for "most beautiful". While not as tall as nearby Multnomah, it is no less lovely. We will stop here as parking and timing allows.

      15 minutes here

    6. Bridal Veil

      As we journey through the town of Bridal Veil, we encounter a place rich in history. Once the heart of a bustling lumber industry that thrived in the Columbia Gorge, this quaint town now hosts a small post office and a serene nunnery, along with other quaint attractions.

      Pass by without stopping

    7. Horsetail Falls- Columbia River Gorge

      Named for its characteristic form, Horsetail Falls plunges 176 feet within view of the Historic Columbia River Highway's "Waterfall Corridor".

      15 minutes here

    8. Multnomah Falls

      A waterfall as magnificent and memorable as any in the country is located just a 30- minute drive outside of Portland. Visiting Multnomah Falls, a 611-foot-tall roaring, awe-inspiring cascade of icy water, lets you experience the power and beauty of nature up close and with ease. Our visit will feature a trip up to the iconic Benson Bridge and a stop at the gift shop. However, please note that the hike to the top of the waterfall is quite long and steep, so it will not be part of this tour.

    I had such a wonderful experience on this tour. John was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made sure everyone was having a good time and shared so many interesting facts. I felt very comfortable and taken care of, especially as a solo traveler. The waterfalls were gorgeous and this was definitely one of the highlights of my Portland trip.

    Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.

    How much does Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning cost?

    +

    Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Portland is not rushed.

    Is Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,034 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Portland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning?

    +

    Around 362 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Portland can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Portland and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Portland within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Portland?

    +

    Portland's activity list is food cart and brewery crawls, Columbia River Gorge waterfall tours to Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood day trips and Willamette Valley pinot tastings. Gorge tours vary in how many falls they reach, so route detail is the deciding factor. On Outty we rank every Portland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Hiking Tour, Full-Day Guided Oregon Coast Tour from Portland, Columbia Gorge Waterfalls and Mt. Hood Tour - Full Day. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Portland?

    +

    June to October for the Gorge, with waterfalls at their fullest in spring. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Portland?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning?

    +

    What languages is Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning?

    +

    Is Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Morning wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
