Come paddle through the winding waterways of the Columbia River Water Trail. We can experience a variety of conditions on the Columbia River in which we can practice our paddling skill. A variety of birds and wildlife are sometimes seen as we slip around the puzzle pieces of land and explore paths once traveled by native tribes and Lewis and Clark. Location of the trip will be based upon the skill level of the group.

The Bachelor Island Tour is offered several times a month, May through October. Call to book your tour today.
