Amazing tour with our pilot Clay. Beautiful day to fly, the waterfalls were full and the Vista house was amazing to see flying. Will book again.

I recommend this tour to anyone! Our guide was amazing & made my friend and & I feel SO comfortable. We were both really nervous as we hadn’t done something like that before & it was awesome. You start with filling out paperwork, watch a quick safety video, get loaded on & get going! The views are stunning. Don’t miss out!

Amazing but pricey on Viator
Sandra_H, Apr 2022
Amazing flying experience but I was disappointed to see that I paid a lot more through Viator than if I had booked directly with Envi Adventures.

Beautiful sunny day in the Columbia gorge with an exciting bit of wind driven turbulence added some spice to the flight! Excellent and competent pilot did expert job and clearly loves his work.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Sun and winter usually means wind in Troutdale! Glad you had a fun flight. Hope we'll get to fly with you again!
Great experience, one serious con
Molly_O, Nov 2021
Once up in the air, the experience was immeasurably amazing. Beautiful sights (despite fog), and although quick, worth every minute. The only con is their booking system. We didn’t find out until arrival that our party of 3 well exceeded the weight limit, despite having input our weight during the online booking. After inputting guest weight online, there should be an alert that tells you what the limit is and how over you are to save people time and money. The realistic weight capacity of 3 is two adults and a child. This is a quick coding input and I would encourage Envi to push their partners on this as it was a huge disappointment for our group that one of them had to sit out and clouded a lot of the overall experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Thank you for your comments and we appreciate your input! Unfortunately we have very little control on how reservations are captured via Viator/TripAdvisor Experiences and have encouraged them for several years to make minor updates to address this very issue. We have and will continue to work with them to avoid this in the future!
Amazing
Brianne_C, Nov 2021

Breathtaking
Dione_W, Oct 2021
This magical experience gave me a new appreciation for flying, nature and scenery when traveling. Clyde, our pilot gave us a smooth take off and great landing. The price is reasonable and I was speechless from the views. Yes, put this on your to do list!!
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Yes! Put it on your list for sure! Thanks for the kind words and we really appreciate you taking time to fly with us!
Well worth it!
Laurie_K, Sep 2021
Great views! Loved seeing the gorge from a bird’s eye view. Seeing Mount Helens was a great surprise.
