OUR CLIENTS LOVE US

Just wow! The level of organization and procurement was outstanding. First Nature Tours took care of everything! From our rooms (fabulous) to our ski passes (awaiting us at check in) to reserving my Husbands first ski lesson! Kieron took care of everything and then some! I highly suggest one of his arranged activities! I wish there was a sixth star! Million x thank you!

Bryce Amato

As part of a group tour organised by the Visit Portland office we experienced a FANTASTIC Tour led by Kieron Weider. Kieron expertise and knowledge of the Portland and surrounding Oregon area was amazing especially when pointing out interesting facts about the plants and nature of this beautiful part of the USA was second to none. Can HIGHLY recommend the services of First Nature Tours and Kieron Weider.

Paul Webb

First Nature helped me organize an epic 3-day private tour to Crater Lake for my birthday, including lodging in Bend, Mercedes Sprinter transportation for my whole crew, an awesome knowledgeable guide (Kieron), and a full-day snowmobile excursion right to the rim of the crater! Will definitely be booking my next adventure with these guys!

Joshua Williams

We did a day trip of hiking, sightseeing and wine tasting with Kieron. Can't recommend First Nature more highly enough. It was a fantastic day and very memorable. Felt like we were able to fit in so much in one day. Kieron is a wonderful, knowledgeable guide and an absolute pleasure to spend your day with.

Shane Tobin

Definitely hire First Nature for your next Portland adventure! Kieron has an unbelievable knowledge of the Pacific Northwest and you'll never run out of things to talk about with the guy! A friend and I customized a multi day tour where we crammed about 7 separate activities into 4 days of non-stop adventure thanks to the excellent planning of Kieron. All the hotels he booked were begging to be explored even when we were tired and wanted to sleep and the outfitters he hired for ziplining and whitewater rafting were perfect. Not a single gripe over the 4 day tour and not a single regret. Thanks Kieron and James!

Jordan Tang

Tour guides in Portland are especially important if you want to get the most out of the area. We were very pleased with the guide and recommend to any friends traveling to Portland Oregon who want to take in Mount Hood, waterfalls and great hiking.

Paul Grimmstone

Visiting Portland it was a great find to you First Nature to be our guides for some private tours throughout the State. We used them to do a couple private tours of the Columbia Gorge and checked out Willamette Wine Valley with a private tour to finish our trip off with a good glass of wine. Highly recommend their services and tour guides.
