What to Expect on a Waterfall Shuttle Tour

Tours typically begin with pickup in Downtown Portland and a scenic 30–45 minute drive into the Columbia River Gorge. On the standard waterfall shuttle, guests spend roughly 2.5 of the 3.5 hours walking among state park trails and viewpoints — ample time for photos, short hikes, and even a quick (and chilly) waterfall dip for the adventurous.

Silver Falls hikes cover about a 5-mile loop with approximately 400 ft of elevation gain, showcasing dramatic basalt canyons and the famous Trail of Ten Falls.

For coastal trips, expect stops at iconic scenery like Haystack Rock and whale-watching opportunities off Depoe Bay, plus local tastings at Tillamook.
