    Absolutely amazing tour of Hells Canyon! The owner/operator gave commentary along the way which was informative and entertaining, especially since his family is from there and he has lots of details that others might not. He and his crew did a great job of making us all comfortable but also giving us a wild ride on the river. I'd recommend them for anyone.

    Such a fun day! We saw lots of animals and splashed through the rapids! Rich & Becky were great tour guides! Highly recommend!! We are visiting from the east coast and would love to come out and do this again!

    Captain Rich and Becky were knowledgeable and friendly. The ride up river they were very informative about the area, geology and family history. It was really fun to learn about Rich’s family connection and we enjoyed his deep love of the canyon. Rich is an excellent jet boat captain making us feel comfortable and secure. Going through the rapids on the way up was very fun but coming down the rapids was a blast! Enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife on the way up and hold on to your hat on the way down. Great trip we would do it again 🙂
