See landmarks like Moda Center and Tilikum Crossing lit up at night, hear local stories from your pilot, and catch unexpected moments—like laughing over radio static or watching city lights flicker below you.
Columbia River Gorge: Airplane Tour with Vista House ViewsYou’ll fly low over the Columbia River Gorge in a small plane with a local guide, catching unique views of Crown Point and Vista House you can’t get from the road. Feel the rush as you glide between rising cliffs, spot landmarks below, and share laughs midair before touching down—an experience you might replay in your head long after landing.

Arrive 30 minutes before departure; group weight limits apply (600 pounds for three passengers, 925 for five, with 250-pound individual maximum).Is it for me?At 40 minutes, the flight fits into a morning or afternoon without consuming the whole day—you see the Gorge's scale and geology from a perspective ground tours can't offer, then have time for other Portland activities. If you're planning to hike to Multnomah Falls or spend hours at Crown Point, this flight covers those landmarks in a single pass and frees up the rest of your schedule.
Mt. Hood and Multnomah Falls air tour from PortlandThis scenic airplane tour departs from Portland and follows the Sandy River toward Mt. Hood, sweeps over Mt.

The flight is weather-dependent and may follow an alternate route at the pilot's discretion. A live guide in English narrates the route; arrive 30 minutes before departure.Is it for me?The flight departs from Portland itself, so if you don't have a car or are staying elsewhere in the city, you can reach the departure point by public transportation. The fixed route and timing mean the day holds together without you arranging transport between the gorge, Mt. Hood and the falls—the pilot flies the sequence and you see it unfold.
