Offer details

There is a magical place located within the confluence of two major rivers, at the base of a volcano and surrounded by old growth forests, with nicknames like Bridgetown and "Brewtopia." Portland! Duration: 3 hours

Overview

With the Willamette River down the center and the Columbia River above, Portland is often more enthusiastically known by its nicknames such as “Bridgetown,” “Stumptown,” and “City of Roses.” Nestled at the base of a volcano and wrapped by old growth forests, this city boasts a landscape beyond a basic urban environment. We will immerse you in the town’s history and discover how the once little-known fishing village has now become a popular international destination. Come see the wonderful city that Wildwood Adventures calls home and get a taste of the charm that Portland offers to its explorers!

Itinerary

1. Director Park
Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.
Duration: 5 mins
2. South Park Blocks
We’ll start our tour in in the vehicle, meandering through historic downtown Portland as we make our way to the Park Blocks. This area boasts museums and a collection of performing arts centers among other intricacies.
3. Providence Park
On our way to Washington Park, we’ll pass by Providence Park, home to our beloved Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns soccer teams.
4. Washington Park
Washington Park is a 410-acre urban park that boasts many beautiful wonders, one of which will be our very first stop.
5. International Rose Test Garden
The International Rose Test Garden, earning Portland one of its proud titles as “City of Roses,” is the oldest official continually running public rose test garden in the United States. It features over 610 unique rose varieties across 10,000 bushes, and we’ll have time to stop and smell plenty of the roses. During the winter season, when the rose garden is not at its peak, we will substitute this stop with the Hoyt Arboretum, where we will learn about the trees and plants of the Pacific Northwest.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Pittock Mansion
Moving along to the Pittock Mansion, which was saved from demolition in 1964. The mansion now resides as a historic house and museum with expansive gardens and manicured lawn. As our second stop on tour, guests will have ample time to explore the exterior of the Pittock Mansion to enjoy the scenic gardens and iconic city view. In the interest of time, we are not able to visit the interior of the house itself, but the grandeur of the gardens is well worth it.
Duration: 20 mins
7. Northwest (Nob Hill)
Driving tour through Nob Hill and trendy NW 23rd Avenue.
8. Pearl District
Driving tour through the famous Pearl District of Portland, where we will see another Portland landmark: Powell’s Books, the world’s largest independently-owned new and used book store.
9. Pioneer Courthouse Square
Driving tour past Pioneer Courthouse Square, also known as Portland's Living Room.
10. Portland Aerial Tram - Lower Terminal
Our last stop on the tour will be at the South Waterfront to take a ride on the famed Portland Aerial Tram. The tram is one of only two commuter aerial tramways in the United States (the other being New York City’s Roosevelt Island Tramway). The tram will sweep us from the South Waterfront district to the top of Marquam Hill. We’ll travel a horizontal distance of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) and a vertical distance of 500 feet (150 meters) on a ride that lasts three minutes one-way. At the top, we will find amazing views of downtown Portland and the surrounding volcanic Cascade Mountains, including Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Adams.
Duration: 25 mins
11. Director Park
We will return back to Director Park for the end of the tour.
