Fun group activity! This is really cool for most ages. We went with my grandmother, mom, and my sibling and I, with both of our partners for a brunch cruise.

It was a fun little dining experience. Nice staff and the captain is a great tour guide! I really loved the cocktails and the fact that you could go outside and watch the scenery on the deck!

We really enjoyed the evening dinner cruise and would highly recommend this. From Cascade Locks the the two hour cruise went under the Bridge of the God’s to the Bonneville dam and east, providing beautiful river views. The crew were very attentive and friendly.

Undeniably delightful dinner cruise! The food was delicious, the service spectacular and the captain of the ship navigated his Sternwheeler flawlessly. We participated in this cruise during the Fall and enjoyed it immensely. We will be returning this summer with our grandsons so that they can experience the magic. We’re looking forward to partaking the views (more daylight) and a sunset.

It was excellent. The staff were wonderful, the food and drinks were good and the scenery was beautiful. It was a warm summer evening and the water was calm. Every day on the river is a good day ❤️

As they start anew they have been kind enough to allow locals free rides at special times. There was no real food service other then soda and chips at that maiden voyage. It was nice to have our opitions count toward a community relationship in the bissness sector. The remodel is very nice and I look forword to seeing what is next.

The food was much better than I expected with a choice of entrees. Our server, Chelsea, was friendly and helpful. Captain provided a nice commentary. Weather was remarkable and the 2-hour cruise slow and interesting. Note that you will be hit up for extras: pictures, drinks, dessert, etc. We went with a family group and all enjoyed.
