Hells Canyon Jet Boat Adventure Tour

Jet Boat Tour through the Wild River Section of the Snake River in Hells Canyon - South Entrance - Hells Canyon Dam. The Wild River Section is where you find the largest rapids, where the canyon is at its deepest elevations, and the scenery transitions from rock walls at the bottom, to high dessert grasslands in the middle, to alpine forests at the top. Your Captain will entertain you with stories about early Native Americans and ranching families that called Hells Canyon home.
