Nothing compares to rafting Hells Canyon on the Idaho/Oregon border, home of the mighty Snake River and the deepest gorge in North America. Hells Canyon plunges to depths of nearly 8,000 feet between the Seven Devils range to the east and Oregon’s rim country to the west. Through this tremendous gorge, the Snake River's warm, clear waters yield some of the best big waves and whitewater rapids in the U.S. Northwest. In calmer sections, the Snake River serves up great fishing opportunities. Hells Canyon’s watery bliss is matched by its stunning rockscapes and the intriguing remnants of past inhabitants, creating a rich river adventure that’s hard to beat. Warm weather, warm water and fun rapids make this a great trip for kids, parents and grandparents of nearly any age.

Tent, sleeping gear, gourmet meals, and waterproof bags are all included in your trip.

“My son (13) and I had an outstanding time. The guides were top notch. A perfect combination of fun and safety. The food was excellent and camp conversation even better. The guides shared extensive geologic and anthropologic information though out the float. I would recommend this trip to anyone who really wants to have fun and ‘get away.’"
