Must do
Amazing hike. Trail of Ten Falls. So awesome that you could walk behind the falls. Easy hike, trail is well marked. I do wish though they would indicate how far the next falls are, yes we had a map, but it helps mindset when you know the distance, rather than attempting to use the map scale. Four of us went, two avid hikers, two not avid hikers. Very enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review!

Hike and Wine
We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our tour guide, Sylvie. There were no other parties in our group, so it turned out to be a private tour for the 7 of us. We got a good weather for hiking -breezy in the morning, got an occasional glimpse of the sun throughout, and generally dry for the time of year. This is a hiking tour so be prepared to hike for about 5 miles to see all 10 spectacular falls of the Silver Falls park. Don’t worry about too many falls and not enough time. The pace was perfect to take many pictures of various angles of the falls. The pace was good for our group age range of 55-60 years old. We started from the North Falls and ended up via uphill stairs on the South picnic area with lunch which was thoughtful. We headed next to the wineries for the 2nd half of the tour. We visited Cubanisimo first and Eola Legacy next for tasting. Eola had the Mimosa tasting menu in addition to the Pinot Noir flight. We bought a few bottles of the Estate at Cubanisimo and wanted to go back for more. This is a great value for a small group tour. Pick-up and Drop-off at our hotel was very helpful. We recommend our tour guide, Sylvie. She kept us on schedule, and we appreciate the lovely conversations with her throughout the tour.

Oregon has beautiful waterfalls
It would have been better if the guide was more knowledgeable about the area and the trails. It was also listed as including 2 wine tastings, but the 2nd one was closing when we arrived. The tour operator should plan better and make arrangements with the tasting rooms when they have tours scheduled.
Response from the operator: Debra, I'm sorry your were disappointed in your tour. This was the guide's first time guiding this tour on his own, which is why he was still getting to know the Silver Falls area, and why you got so far behind schedule that you were only able to go to one winery. He has improved immensely over the last 6 weeks.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Silver Falls Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.
How much does Silver Falls Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $232 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 Silver Falls Hike take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Silver Falls Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Portland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Silver Falls Hike?
+
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 Silver Falls Hike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Silver Falls Hike?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Silver Falls Hike 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 Full-Day Guided Oregon Coast Tour from Portland, Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Hiking Tour, 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.
