Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for this tour? Can kids join?

A: There aren’t strict age limits for the tour. Kids are totally welcome, and many families have enjoyed it! Just a heads up, the tour can last almost two hours, so younger kids might get restless. But there’s lots to see and learn, so it’s great for curious minds!

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it outdoors a lot?

A: Great question! The tour is mostly in an air-conditioned vehicle, but you will be getting out at each lighthouse for photos. So, I’d recommend comfy clothes and good shoes. The weather in Portland can be unpredictable, so a light jacket is a good idea too!

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if needed? What's the policy?

A: Yes, the tour can be rescheduled if you give notice. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s best to reach out a few days in advance if you can. Just check their website for any specific guidelines or contact them directly!
