OUR PORTLAND RIVER TOUR TESTIMONIALS:
“A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE IN THE CITY!”
“Had a wonderful river tour this past weekend with Island Style Charters. We went as an event on a bachelor trip and the hospitality provided by Mindy and Dale was wonderful. Having lived in Portland for nearly a decade, I’ve driven over the Willamette an innumerable amount of times on Portland’s many bridges. However, I’ve never seen the city from the perspective of the river. A unique experience in the city and our group is already talking about coming back for another cruise in the summer!”
– AARON R. PORTLAND, OREGON
“SUCH A GREAT TIME!”
“Such a great time! We used them for part of our friend’s bachelor party weekend and had a great time. Dale and Mindy were a treat to be around, treating us like their own friends and family. The views of Portland from the river were unparalleled. Truly a unique experience and a must-do while in the Portland area!”
– JOSHUA D., PORTLAND, OREGON
“ABSOLUTELY A MUST-DO FOR PORTLAND!”
