I had a Groupon for the ride for 2 and $10. to spend in the Locks Cafe. The ride is just over 2 hours. The ride east is very, very windy. FYI, if you don't purchase the meal and are sightseeing only, then you have to sit outside. OK, but when it's super windy, hot or raining it would be... More

We took the 2 hour sightseeing tour and enjoyed it thoroughly. It is always great to be on the water for me. I enjoy the different perspective one gets from the boat. The captain gave a good commentary re Lewis and Clark, the building of the various bridges and dams and other info about the area. The boat leaves from... More

We enjoyed our cruise up the Columbia very much. It rained lightly so the views were not what we hoped for, but the Sternwheeler was fun to watch and the captain kept us entertained with historical trivia up and downt the river. The food was not very good, but it wasn't horrible. It was all different temperatures, delivered 5 minutes... More

Very good food and service. The captain was interesting and made it a fun little journey down the Columbia River and the beef that was served was really good, along with some of the best sour dough bread ever! The staff was very friendly and made it fun. It is a pretty good value at $68 each for dinner, dessert... More
