Columbia Gorge Kayak School is located in Hood River Oregon, just one hour east of Portland, OR. We offer a wide variety of kayaking instruction as well as guided kayak tours. Our most exciting activities take place in our whitewater category, but we also offer flatwater kayaking trips for those who want to enjoy the amazing scenery of the Columbia River Gorge at a slower pace. If you are in Hood River and looking for a fun day out on the river try one of our day trips.
