Nice boat ride but I could not hear the narrative. It was beautiful, and we saw a lot on the river. My suggestion is sit near the speakers.

The boat was nice and the boarding process smooth. Steep ramp down!! Cruise was smooth but we couldn’t really hear the recording so I feel we missed out on a lot of historical information

The Happy Hour Sightseeing Cruise is worth it. It’s really cool to learn history while drinking. The views along the Willamette River are spectacular.
Definitely get there early to grab a good seat at the upper deck and sit close to a speak so you don’t miss any of the history as it is being narrated.
