Tour guide James was personable and friendly. We enjoying the beautiful views during the journey. Seeing so much of the Portland coast in a day was great! From whale watching to hiking in the rain forest and ice cream!!! A little bit of everything. Long day but so worth it.
We had a wonderful personalized experience! Would definitely recommend this tour to others. Willing to check out other tours offered by the Waterfall shuttle company!
It was a wonderful tour. Brandon, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable. We loved all the different activities along the coast.
Whale watching on boat for an hour and we saw several whales. Beaches were very scenic and so was the drive. Tillamook was disappointing. It is a long day.
Hi Sandra, Thanks for leaving a review - can you go into detail about what was disappointing about Tillamook? Our guests typically enjoy going to Oregon's largest family attraction. We want to make sure other folks get the experience they want, we appreciate your feedback!
The trip was interesting, it was my second time to the coast and the first time to Depoe Bay. Plan to go back later in the year.
Thanks for joining us Luther, we hope to see you in the summer for another tour!
Our tour guide, Brendan, was excellent. His knowledge of the area., knowledge of geology, flora, and fauna was phenomenal. The only disappointment was that we were not able to go on the whale watch boat segment of this tour due to small craft advisory. Mother nature called and gave us very choppy waters so it was not possible to go out on the boat today.
He is such a wealth of knowledge and the best tour guide you could hope for. So glad you enjoyed your time.
