If we’re unable to reschedule and the tour is cancelled we will offer a refund or offer to switch you to a comparable tour from waterfall shuttle. Guests can cancel with 24 hours notice for a full refund.
In the heat, visiting waterfalls is one of the best ways to cool off and enjoy a warm summer day.
Once you have booked your Multnomah Falls E-bike Adventure we will send you a link to our digital guide in the confirmation email. The digital guide is a scrollable page that takes you from start to finish along your e-bike route. It outlines each suggested stop and the distances and time it should take you to travel from waterfall to waterfall.

Absolutely, the bike path is very safe and modern our Columbia Gorge Tour there is amazing. The waterfall corridor route is on a Scenic Byway, an official State of Oregon bike route shared with cars. Use hand signals for safety and wear the helmet provided. Our customers say there was much less traffic than expected, they felt safe, and drivers were courteous. This is not your a 55mph highway, it’s a slow scenic drive like through a National Park.
In 2 hours you can see some of the falls. If you want time to see it all and do some short hikes do a half day. Stop and eat a picnic or enjoy the Multnomah falls restaurant and book for a full day.
Depending on the length of your rental a water bottle or some snacks can be a nice thing to bring. Comfortable clothes suitable for biking in the weather are a must. Bring a swimsuit if you want to go in.
