Latourell Falls is a waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge in the U.S. state of Oregon, within Guy W. Talbot State Park. The Historic Columbia River Highway passes nearby, and at certain locations the Lower falls are visible from the road. From the air, it’s all visible.
Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping by each year to take in the views!

Waterfalls from the Air!!!
Dominic was a great guide and pilot. He made sure we saw Vista Point, the waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge and Beacon Rock. I'd never been on a small plane before and really enjoyed it!
Operator response
Thanks for the 5-stars! It’s awesome to hear that Dominic flew such a great trip—getting you up close to Vista House, the Multnomah Falls, and Beacon Rock is definitely the best way to do it. Knocking out your very first small plane ride and coming away loving it is a huge win!
We're so glad you had a blast, and we hope to fly with you again soon!

Everything's fine.
It's the first time I've flown the route. We looked up Portland from above - it was beautiful, then we went back to Multnomah Falls. The pilot's name is KJ. He knows his business perfectly well. It was beautiful and polite. I recommend it!

Columbia River Gorge 2025
Highly recommend Envi and pilot JP. We kicked off 2025 with a beautiful flight up the Columbia River Gorge. JP is an excellent pilot. We appreciated his engaging explanation of what we were seeing. The size of the plane was perfect for this adventure.

What a unique and beautiful way to see the waterfalls!
We had an unbelievable adventure! We weren't sure what to expect, especially with a 7-year-old who is a little afraid to try new things, but John (our pilot) was incredible! He made everyone feel at ease and did a wonderful job showing us all the waterfalls (and even sea lions) on our journey. Highly recommend if you want a non-traditional way to see a beautiful section of the PNW.

Wonderful flight and views of the river.
The entire flight was a complete joy. Both the pilot KJ and the plane were first class and the views of river and waterfalls were spectacular.
Highly recommended.

We Love KJ
KJ was the absolute best pilot and guide! He provided us with a fantastic experience that we will never forget. I will definitely go back and take more tours with this company. Especially if we get KJ as our pilot again.

Fabulous views from a small plane.
Everything was perfect. Flying in a single engine plane is an experience much different than a large plane or helicopter. A ride you should try. The view were amazing. KJ was very professional and very informing as to sites we were seeing as we passed by them. I believe I will try the Mt Hood or Mt Helen's tour next. We just caught a glimpse of Mt Hood on this trip, but like to see it closer.

Fantastic trip with great company !
We actually were able to combine St Helen's mount and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls. That option is not available from the drop down. Great tour, views spectacular. Really great company , we had a very nice pilot. Ride was very smooth. I highly recommend to anyone to take a tour. It is a great way , if not the best way, to see it ALL .

Cool but not something I would do again
The waterfall route is pretty average in my opinion. Definitely would’ve shot for the mt. St. Helens / mt. Hood options if I saw them available on the app when I was booking. It was fun but honestly could’ve put the $ towards something more exciting. Flight says 40 minutes in the app but we finished in closer to 30. Also I paid $199 per person through Viator but when I went in person they had the prices listed on a big screen and I was overcharged about $60. Not happy about that.
Operator response
Very sorry to hear that you didn't have as good of an experience as you were hoping. Flight times are estimated and can vary on several different factors, and unfortunately there isn't really an easy way to add all of that information through Viator. Also, booking direct through us will always be a better deal and we will price match any lower prices you might find on other sites!
