This was a great experience for me and my family. We took the tour of the Columbia Gorge and saw all of the waterfalls. My kids who are 5 and 9 loved flying in the airplane and looking out the windows. The customer service here was top notch and everybody we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. We saw other tours in Portland but the price was significantly more for the same thing, and I can’t imagine it being better than what Envi offers. From the moment you walk in the door, they have put a lot of thought into the entire experience making you feel very comfortable and excited to go flying. Highly recommend for anyone. This was great.Laura A

We LOVED seeing the gorge from above. Such a beautiful & unique experience being able to fly with Envi! We've been visiting the gorge for over 12 years but this was a breathtaking new perspective. Don't let the fall + winter weather keep you away! We're already planning our next trip once the leaves start to turn. The Envi crew is knowledgable and we felt totally safe. CANNOT wait to get up in the air again!Jessie_M

I had booked with Envi Adventures when the snowstorm hit back in February cancelling everything and it was no problem to get a refund. The communication with the company was spot on. We rescheduled our Portand trip for mid April and the weather was PERFECT. We even opted to book a longer aerial tour with Envi. Everything was extremely professional. The booking process and follow up emails were perfect and even let us know that if nobody is at the counterwhen we arrive, just get comfortable because they are probably prepping the plane. There was also a sign inside letting us know the same information. Would have been confusing otherwise if we arrived to an empty business. Spencer met us at the counter and happily (maybe?! Lol!) entertained our five year old as she followed him around outside chattering to him while he put fuel in the plane and prepped it for us. She got to sit in the front seat and "fly the plane" which she was super excited about and now says she is a pilot. We felt very safe and being somewhat familiar with aircraft, knew we were in good hands. The Cessna is not a luxury private jet. It's a simple aircraft, yet very safe. For people not familiar, it can look a little rickety but it's well maintained, comfortable. Spencer gave us a great and informative tour of the gorge pointing out waterfalls, mountains, and landmarks with some interesting history of the area.....for us out of staters. It is well worth the price....if fact, it's a bargain and if we are ever in the Portland area again, we would gladly book another tour. I highly recommend this!!
