This was a wonderful experience! The beauty of nature. Doug was a great guide full of information Thank you! We felt this was a much better option than driving ourselves and finding parking and we were right. The Waterfall Shuttle is the best way to go

We had the tour on Sunday. Our driver, Emma, was fantastic and knew a lot about the history of the Gorge and the Falls. We were let out by the front of each fall and had plenty of time to take photos and hike to the top of the falls that required hiking. The bus was very comfortable and easy to see out of. I would take this tour again especially with our driver.

Absolutely amazing! I wish there were more stars to give. Making reservations was easy and included all the information and tips to make the experience enjoyable. “Mino” was on time, prepared and professional and yet set an immediate casual and comfortable atmosphere. He was informative in an engaging manner that encouraged conversation and added to the experience. He was accommodating to our limitations and let us set the pace. The falls were beyond awesome and his pride in their beauty was evident. There is no way we could have gotten this experience driving this route on our own. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Our Waterfall Shuttle experience was delightful! It started by getting to know the other riders as we waited at the tent waiting for the shuttle. Then we boarded and got to know our driver, "Kuba". He was funny and so informative. He hiked with us to the falls and brought entertainment and enthusiasm during the entire drive. Would highly recommend this ride:)
