October 1, 2025Chris TWe rode rapids and saw a mama bear with her two cubs, big horn sheep and birds of prey.
The family had a wonderful and fun day on their one-day river trip. We will definitely do other trips with Hells Canyon Adventures again. Can't recommend them enough.

Epic Experience
Had an awesome experience and the views are wonderful. Very cool stop for lunch along the river and these guys have it down very efficient and easy to enjoy. If you are in this area these are the folks to go with to experience Hells Canyon. Nothing scary or requiring anything other than just sit down and enjoy the experience.

A fun time for an old guy.
I had never been to Hells Canyon (in or above it), never traveled over rapids, and never been in a jet boat so decided to make the trip there and have that experience while still able. While I'm in OK shape for 78, who knows what could come along to change that? It was a helluva lot of fun! And I got wet. The guy running the boat (Dusty, I think) had an incredible amount of knowledge about the canyon, geological and historical, that he shared as we went downstream. I was impressed with the way he navigated the rapids, both going down and back up. The tour included a light lunch at Sheep Creek Ranch and a stop at Kirkwood Historic Ranch before we turned around. The museum at Kirkwood was quite interesting. It's hard for me to imagine people living in the harsh conditions at the bottom of the canyon. We got back on schedule, I still damp and with a sunburned face (bring sunscreen!). It was well worth the time and the cost. I'd be tempted to do it again if ever in the area, though probably not in the middle of summer.

Take this trip!
We had SO much fun on the longer trip with Dillon, in the big boat. He deftly handled his craft, providing great thrills while I still felt very safe. Going up rapids was a super amazing new adventure. Lunch was tasty home-made salads and such, which met various dietary needs. My husband and I went for a dip in the Snake River (the water was 74 degrees in mid-September) and loved that. Overall, it was fantastic, and I highly recommend it.

Incredible, unique, thoroughly enjoyable experience. Won’t forget this one!
Excellent experience. We took the Kirkwood trip- 6 hrs. Rapids were good mix of adrenaline without being scary. Cody was a great driver and guide sharing stories, tips, information etc. Saw some wildlife, had a fabulous lunch, got to get in the water and walk around two different camps. Fabulous memory. If you’re on the fence . . . jump- it’s worth it!!
