This is a great way to see the river and the wetlands. Their guide took us into areas that would not be advisable to people without local knowledge of the channels and water levels. The area is beautiful and the trip is great on a warm summer day. There was some wildlife - mostly birds - but not lots. Perhaps there would be more during spring and fall when the birds are migrating. Views are spectacular and varied throughout.

Max was a great instructor! His lesson was clear and easy to understand. My kids had a great 2-hour-kayaking with him. Max was funny and taught them a lot. Price was fair.
I want to commend Columbia River Paddle on their customer service. A day before our reservation, my partner injured himself such that we could no longer safely paddle board. I contacted the the company to cancel my reservation but it didn't go through the first time. I contacted them by phone again a few days later after seeing the charge on my credit card and they were very understanding and quickly processed the refund on the spot with me. My partner and I didn't end up using our paddleboards, but the customer service experience was excellent. When he's better, we will definitely consider Columbia River Paddle again.
My wife and I took a guided tour with Byron. We fully enjoyed beautiful scenery, ability to explore niches on Columbia River, learning to recognize animal tracks and watching many species of local birds. Didn't see much wildlife during that time of the year but had lots of fun and professional assistance from our guide.
The staff were super helpful and friendly. You could tell they enjoyed what they did. Such good pointers and clearly communicated on what and where you could see sights. My only real reason for a low rating is the poor precautions during COVID during staff. There was no social distancing and no masks. I actually felt very uneasy, as they were super busy and could easily have been the cause of huge spread. I would recommend taking mask off once you left the dock and putting it back on prior to getting close enough as the lady that helped us was definitely in our bubble with no mask.
