Kayak Trip
Sunday Afternoon, March 19
Just steps from the hotel, enjoy a guided kayak tour on the Willamette River with other BioCyclers.

Ross Island Tour - 1:00 to 4:00 (no experience required) Special BioCycle group rate $39
First-time kayakers and experienced paddlers alike will enjoy a unique perspective of Portland on this guided tour circumnavigating Ross Island on the Willamette River. We'll paddle past an impressive blue heron rookery and possibly see bald eagles and osprey as we glide by Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. The herons should be on their nests. There is an unparalleled view of Portland's skyline on our way back to the dock. Kayaks and all gear included.

Reservations required, call 503-229-0551 and ask for the BioCycle Ross Island tour.
