Cruises & Tours

Spend some time along the three rivers winding through the Tri-Cities—the Yakima, Snake and Columbia—and we’re sure you’ll agree with American poet Jim Harrison:

You can’t be unhappy in the middle of a big, beautiful river. Here are three ways to enjoy cruising the Columbia River.

Water2Wine Cruises

Reserve a seat aboard the Chrysalis, a two-story luxury boat ride that travels up and down the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Meals are included, as are unforgettable scenic views. Enjoy a lavish Sunday brunch cruise, a 3-hour dinner cruise paired with local wines, dancing, and scenic views, or a lunch cruise.

River Cruises

Several river cruise boats stop in the Tri-Cities area along the Columbia River, such as Adventure Life, Columbia and Snake River Cruises with American Cruise Lines and Rivers of Adventure and Wine with UnCruise Adventures.

Self-Guided River Tours

Discover the beauty of the Columbia River aboard your personal boat. Venture northward to explore the White Bluffs, a historic site that once housed one of the original small towns in the region before the Manhattan Project era.

The area is known for its stunning white cliffs, known as the White Bluffs, which rise up from the riverbank and create a dramatic natural landscape. Here you’ll have the chance to encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, coyote, and majestic bald eagles!
