Curated outdoor adventures from your hotel — paddle the Columbia, ride to Multnomah Falls, chase waterfalls, taste wine in the Valley, or run away to the Coast for a day. We bring the buses, the gear, the guides, and the lunch.

Why this menu

A second front desk —
for the outdoors.

You're already coordinating a conference. The last thing you need is to source five different vendors for the offsite afternoon. Out of Office Experiences is VIVA! Events' preferred outdoor activity partner — every activity below is a single phone call, one invoice, one team running the show.

Mix and match across your group. We split big rooms into smaller pods — kayakers on the river, riders on the trail, tasters in the Valley — and pick everyone up at the same time. We can add lunch reservations, a conference room, and a team-building wrap. VIVA! handles the conference and the logistics. We handle everything outside the meeting room.

Ride along the Willamette River through Portland on a quiet city loop, or roll east to Multnomah Falls and pass six huge waterfalls in a single afternoon. Pedal-assist e-bikes mean nobody gets dropped, the back of the group keeps up with the front.

Oregon Coast Tour

Full day Up to 100 guests ~2.5 HR DRIVE

Run away to the Pacific. We shuttle the group from the hotel out to  Depoe Bay — the whale-watching capital of Oregon — and board a chartered boat. Gray whales pass year-round.

Full-day shuttle, boat charter, naturalist, and lunch.

For larger groups

Most groups split up.
We run the whole day.

Big groups never want the same thing. Half the team paddles the Gorge, a quarter rides to the falls, the rest goes wine tasting — and we pick everyone up at the same time, deliver them back to the lobby together, and feed them in between.
