Cruising the Columbia River Gorge, United States

Step aboard your vessel and spend your day cruising with the iconic silhouettes of Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens framing the horizon. As we navigate toward the mouth of the region's most storied river, you'll be transported back to the riverboat era when sternwheelers dominated the waterfront, their steam whistles and calliopes echoing across the water. Surrounded by sparkling rivers, towering evergreens, and a gentle climate, you'll quickly see the exceptional beauty that explorer Meriwether Lewis once noted.

Astoria, United States

Astoria, Oregon, stands dramatically at the edge where the mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific. Founded in 1811, it's the first American settlement on the western frontier. The sprawling Astoria-Megler Bridge, a marvel of engineering, arches boldly over the river, linking Oregon to Washington. At the Columbia River Maritime Museum, tales of peril on the treacherous waters known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific" come alive. Astoria's storied streets, lined with elegant Victorian homes and the grand, restored Liberty Theatre, echo the prosperity of its salmon-canning heyday. Today, Astoria buzzes with a dynamic blend of history, art, and a thriving seafood scene, drawing visitors into its captivating charm. Stand on the city's edge and see the mountains cascade into the sky and the calm waters brush up to the city's side. ...

Kalama, Washington, United States

Kalama, Washington, is a scenic gem on the banks of the Columbia River, known for its panoramic views and deep-water port. Established in the late 19th century, Kalama was originally envisioned as the northern final stop of the Northern Pacific Railroad, a plan that stamped the town with a strong industrial influence. Its waterfront is distinguished by totem poles, each intricately carved to reflect stories and symbols significant to local indigenous culture, celebrating the area's original inhabitants. Modern Kalama combines its historical roots with a welcoming small-town atmosphere, highlighted during community events like Kalama Heritage Festival. The town also serves as a peaceful residential area and a gateway for exploring the natural beauty of southwestern Washington, attracting both nature lovers and those intrigued by its tranquil riverfront lifestyle. With our new private dock, this port town is easy to explore. Whether you want to pave your own way or join a tour led by a local guide, there's so much to learn in Kalama. ...

Or paddle on the quiet river on a guided gorge kayak tour where you can be one with the eagles, herons, osprey, and occasional otter that call this river home.
