Gorge Paddling Center

So I’m using my wife’s account to leave this review. My friend and I, her two kids and my son went on a glorious couple-hour kayak trip with Todd. It was the first time my son and I were in a kayak and Todd made it very easy. It was almost a perfect day for kayaking— tons of birds, beautiful scenery. Todd really has a great spot. The day could not of been more perfect until my son and I flipped our kayak. Not at all Todd’s fault (although I did tell my wife it was to save face). Todd swooped in did everything right and saved our butts.… Some people don’t believe in Todd. But Todd save my life! If you want a great chill fun family kayak hurry up and give Todd a call before he’s completely booked up! Thanks Todd you’re awesome!

Most beautiful, relaxing, paddle tour at sunset. Well worth every penny spend to get to experience the paddle. Guides Todd and Wyatt made the experience painless and fun while teaching about fishing and salmon. Recommend this trip anyone who is considering this paddle tour!! (They even take pictures for you! )

We had a great time on Todd's sunset tour yesterday. The views are spectacular, and it's a fun way to learn about the area. Todd and another guide took us through calm water where you could see the fish beneath us, and we passed close to great blue heron feeding along the creek. I'd certainly do this again!

Did the sunset kayaking tour with Todd on 7/19/2020. Had an amazing time! Provided great instructions to location. Started in an inlet to get used to the kayaks, then made our way up a small river. Very relaxed paddling, took our time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Came to a small rapid and we were able to paddle through before heading back down the small river and into the Colombia. Guide was super chill and had great info about the area. He was very quick to respond when one of us fell out of our kayak. Highly recommend them! Can’t wait for Covid to become more managed down so family can visit and take this tour too! He also took some photos during the trip which he shared after we returned to shore. Thank you!

This was our favorite part of our trip. Our family (11) of us did the Sunset Tour with Todd on 08/01/20. Gorge Paddling Center accommodated us with kayaks for all ages and sizes. Great for beginners! We learned how to paddle and pick blackberries. Unexpected surprise was the stop to get out to skip rocks and swim in the river.
