MARTIN’S GORGE TOURS IS LAUNCHING JOINABLE TOURS!

You asked for it… and we’re making it happen!

After offering private tours since 2008, we’re excited to announce the launch of Martin’s Gorge Tours, Joinable Tours. This is a great opportunity for solo travelers or small groups to get a locally guided experience of the beautiful Gorge National Scenic Area.

As long-time residents of the Columbia River Gorge, our interpretive guides do more than take people to a destination—we help them understand where they are, why the place matters, and how they can experience it sustainably. We’re proud members and partners of Friends of the Gorge and believe that sharing this incredible landscape comes with a responsibility to help protect it for generations to come. 

Whether you’re a visitor looking to experience the Gorge like a local or a local wanting to discover something new, Joinable Tours is here to make exploring easier, more personal, and more affordable.

“We had two terrific days of touring with Martin on Mt. Hood, through the Columbia River Gorge and to the beaches along the Oregon Coast. I’ve been on many tours and have had many guides, but Martin has been THE BEST! I felt like I had visited an old friend who had moved to Oregon and was just thrilled to show me around.”
