If it's your birthday month you get a free air boat ride!  

We provide state of the art USCG approved marine Class II safety equipment, including Columbia Sport Wear open ocean- foul weather gear no matter what your size!

Promising you that informative eco-experience, each passenger is provided helicopter grade two-way communication headsets directly linked to other passengers and your guide. This enables clear and open communication with others.

We will be at the Nacotta (Port of Peninsula) this Memorial Day weekend giving FREE BIRTHDAY RIDES for anyone who's birthday fall's in the month of May. We are also giving FREE AIR BOAT RIDES during this time to any special need child who's visiting Long Beach during the holiday weekend.

Besides the lower Columbia basin, we will also be seen in Seattle, Vancouver/Portland and Salem. 

That depends on you! Our rides range from 20 minutes to 4 hours.
