Come On a River Tour with Scovare Expeditions in Portland, Oregon!

Rose with an absolutely stunning sunset

Discover Portland’s storied riverfront on a Scovare Expeditions river tour. With over two decades of guiding guests along the Willamette, we’ve shared the magic of Portland’s iconic landmarks—from the Gothic arches of the St. Johns Bridge and the cantilevered Ross Island Bridge to the buzzing downtown waterfront and historic seawall near the Oregon Maritime Museum. Our expert narrators bring the city’s past to life: learn how the seawall preserved early trade, marvel at the evolution of Portland’s 12 bridges, and glimpse Ross Island’s past as a floating pavilion and logging hub. Whether you're seeking a romantic sunset cruise, private charter, or lively celebration, our tours offer a unique, history-rich experience on the water — combining scenic beauty with engaging stories, all backed by 20 years of river expertise.
