    Can't sit still? Does the mere thought of a museum get you bored? Here's an Oregon tour for a true thrill-seeker. Your day begins with an early morning hike to one of many breathtaking waterfalls and scenic viewpoints. The hike will be based on your preference of difficulty. Following the hike, head to Hood River for lunch and to watch kiteboarders show off.

After lunch we'll head to our favorite (and secret) kite spot where you'll receive an introductory kiteboarding lesson. You'll have an opportunity to fly the training kite and the "big" kite on the beach. When you're not flying, you can try a little stand up paddling or receive private yoga instruction on the SUP or on the the beach. If all of that sounds like a bit much, you can sunbathe on the sandbank, cool off with a swim, hit local wineries, or just soak it all in! We'll make sure that you get to do what you want to do! Our last port of call will be a visit to a local brewery for dinner and to sample a flight of some of Oregon's finest beers. It's a full day and sure to tickle your sense of adventure.
