Active Pursuits: Kayaking Frommer

If you want to check out the Portland skyline from water level, arrange for a sea kayak tour through the * Portland River Company, 0315 SW Montgomery St. (tel. 888/238-2059 or 503/229-0551; www.portlandrivercompany.com), which operates out of the RiverPlace Marina at the south end of Tom McCall Waterfront Park. A 2 1/2-hour tour that circles nearby Ross Island costs $35 per person. All-day trips on the lower Columbia River are also offered ($75 per person) and will get you off an urban river and into a wildlife refuge. This company also rents sea kayaks (to experienced paddlers) for $15 to $20 for the first hour and $10 to $15 per hour after that.
