WHAT YOU VISIT
Scenic Waterfront Boat Tour
Take off on an historical waterfront tour aboard the renovated Astoria Pilot transfer vessel, known as the Arrow No. 2. Built in 1960, the 53-foot, 75-ton retired tugboat completed an estimated 250,000 pilot transfers aiding river pilots navigating their ships across the treacherous Columbia Bar and upriver. Ample windows inside the heated cabin and outside deck area offer plenty of views
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Colorful fishing boats, a century-old brewery, and massive cargo ships are just a few of the sights you'll see. But the Columbia River is also home to marine life such as whales, sea lions and river otters so have your camera handy so you can show the folks back home.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Learn about the working history of the Astoria waterfront as the captain steers the boat past historic landmarks along the Astoria waterfront and north to Tongue Point whose recorded history dates back to 1805 when the Lewis and Clark expedition set up camp on the west side; today, it's the site of the former naval base where seaplanes performed coastal patrols during World World II.
