Julia G.

Very happy with our rentals. I arranged a family trip to Beaverton for my dads 70th and thought River tubing was a good activity for our group ages 16 to 70. I was concerned about picking up and transporting the tubes ourselves - don't be. You either get a hand or an electric tube depending on how many you rent which are easy to fill and deflate. Cell phone service on the Clackamas River is very spotty so recommend having a plan in place before you go - we got in at McIver and got out at Barton. The ORR website said 3 to 4 hours but it took us 5 to 6. My brother and one of the kids drove to Barton and dropped their cars off so they were able to then drive us back to McIver to get our cars at the end - which was a good idea for us. ORR, where you pick up and drop off the tubes, does not have public restrooms but there is a service/rest stop fairly close drive.

Super easy to rent from Oregon River Rentals - even for a last minute trip. Rentals come with all the equipment you need, including the pump, oars, and life jackets. It takes one adult about 5 minutes to pump up the kayaks. Pick up and drop was really convenient and fast - Bryan has everything ready for you when you arrive. I have rented from ORR twice now and plan to do a couple of more trips this summer with their kayaks.

We rented 3 kayaks . Highly recommend this place. Excellent service and the owner was very helpful. Very simple process and was given tips to the best routes to go for our experience level. Even allowed us to return the equipment after it was already dark outside.

We had so much fun floating down the Sandy River on tubes we rented from Oregon River Rentals. Excellent customer service. Great price. And I love supporting a small business run out of a person's home instead of a big corporate store. Highly recommend!

The rafts come with everything you need to use it. We give it to you deflated and provide the pumps, paddles and life jackets. Hope this helps. -Bryan

I'm already mentally planning the next time I can raft with this company! Scott, the owner, is the friendliest person and makes you feel like part of the "rafting family" with his jokes and genuine care for each person in the party. Our raft guide, Jay, was 10/10 and made my entire trip unforgettable with all his knowledge of the Columbia Gorge and ability to create special experiences for our raft. If you want a company who believes in fun, adventure, and a great time -- this is the rafting company for you!

Disappointing and Astonishingly Unprofessional…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. I purchased a Groupon to go rafting with Portland Rafting, but when the booking directions on their website failed to accept the code, I called their customer service for assistance. What should have been a quick, exciting booking call turned into one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I've ever had. I was unfortunately met by someone named Scott, who claimed to be the owner. Given his unbelievable lack of professionalism, I find that hard to believe. From the second he answered, Scott made it abundantly clear that my call was an inconvenience to him. He was dismissive, uninterested in helping, and outright rude. When I calmly called him out on his attitude, instead of offering a standard professional response, he showered me with childish excuses: "Oh, well, it's just a busy morning" and "Oh, well, dude, it's not that big of a deal." Continually calling a paying customer "dude" and telling me to "chill out" is completely unacceptable. When I attempted to address the situation like an adult and requested a genuine apology for how I was being treated, he refused to take accountability. His actual response? "Not going to do that." It is disgusting to treat customers this way. If you are frustrated by honorably fulfilling Groupon vouchers, don't list your business on Groupon in the first place. More importantly, someone who lacks the basic maturity to handle a simple phone call should absolutely not be trusted with people's safety on the water. Save yourself the headache. There are plenty of reputable rafting companies in the area--take your business to literally anyone else.

My sister in law and I took the beginners class and had a great time! Our guides were Rose and…read moreMargot, they were knowledgeable, friendly, and really took their time with each one of us. We had someone in our party fall in, the guides sprung into action and immediately assisted. They did a thorough introduction of the parts of the kayak, how to get in and exit, the different strokes. How to use your feet and core (not just your arms), and showed us how to get back in our kayaks if we should fall in the water. I was pretty anxious beforehand as there are a lot of watercraft on the willamette, they did a great job of putting us all at ease. The beginners class is 3 hours, park free anywhere on the adjacent street, you can leave your stuff in the shop, and bring a water bottle. All the gear is provided. They provide the kayak best for you based on your height/weight. So don't lie! Highly recommend if you're looking for the basics. If you're expecting a tour sign up for that instead. This was definitely a class where we practiced different strokes. We will definitely be back!

I highly recommend taking a class at Portland Kayak Company! My wife and I were first timers and…read morethe beginners class did such a great job making us feel comfortable on the water. Our instructors were Rose and Margot; both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient! They even helped me when I fell into the water (yeah, I'm not embarrassed to admit it... I totally fell in the water, haha!). It was totally my fault but both were quick to help me and they did such a great job not making me feel bad about it. Helpful Tips: * If you're taking a class, know that the kayak, the paddle and the life vest are provided. * If you plan to bring your phone with you on the kayak, make sure to bring an airtight bag to keep your phone in it. We had one already but I saw that they sold them in their store, too! Oh, and it's worth mentioning... the company was very understanding even though we arrived five minutes late (our GPS turned us around and we got lost heading to the class). Of course, try your best to avoid being late, but it was great knowing they were understanding about it. It made us feel extremely comfortable! My wife and I are definitely coming back!

But from the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel so comfortable and welcome that those nerves disappeared immediately. Our guide, Peter, was absolutely amazing. He was extremely thorough with safety instructions and made sure everyone felt safe and confident throughout the trip, while still keeping everything fun and exciting. He had such a great way with people and really helped make the experience memorable. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and even the owner took the time to be kind and personable, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a great experience. This trip made me want to come back before it was even over, and I'll definitely be returning this summer to hopefully try one of the more challenging rafting trips. Thank you all so much for giving me such a fun and unforgettable Mother's Day!

Pickup from Barton County Park, shuttle to McIver, float down 6 hours (the water moved slowly in some spots so it took us longer). CRO answered all my questions around booking, and accommodated a reschedule during the 4th of July weekend. Even on the day of, Luke patiently gave us instructions and options to pick the upper (bigger rapids) or lower (slightly calmer) starting point. Couple of tips - take the earlier 10 am shuttle slot because car parking at Barton for the pickup can get full quickly on popular days. It would be great if we had a paddle for the tubes because in some spots the water was very still. Also, take a phone to text and coordinate towards the end of the float.

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THEIR PCC CLASS (Flatwater Paddleboarding Tour)…read moreThey changed the location to Milo McIver State Park. The only instructions in the email as to this new location was "lake launch inside Milo McIver State Park". No directions were provided. Thus it would be assumed the actual location would be easy to find. I gave myself a 10 minute buffer to park and find the group. Map directions guide you to south entrance road. Once you pay & drive down, you come to a fork in the road (pics below showing signs). How do I know which boat ramp; there are 2? Since the directions indicated lake launch, I chose the right for Estacada Lake. Cut to 30 minutes later; I have now driven BOTH forks and there is no sign of a group that would indicate Clackamas River Outfitters or a paddleboarding group. I am so frustrated over the wasted time and money. When you are being paid for a service, it is your job to provide clear instructions; not just for the class itself, but how to get there. The best choice would have been for them to send a google/apple map pin to the exact location. If for some reason, that wouldn't work, then you should provide step by step instructions on where the group is to meet (IE, after entering, make a right/left, etc). I would have loved to call someone, but phone service was really shoddy in the park. Don't waste your time or money.
