Follow Pacific Time for check-in and the day’s schedule. Mountain Time is 1 hour ahead, and the time zone changes at Riggins (about 21 miles south of the office).
After check-in, you either drive yourself about 24 miles (about 1 hour) to Pittsburg Landing Marina or take the optional shuttle. The road is dirt/gravel most of the way but is suitable for 2WD passenger cars.
Bring a hat, light/quick-dry clothing, comfortable sandals or walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a camera. Consider a dry bag and swimwear if you plan to swim at the beach stop.

The crew here absolutely makes the experience. Captains Eric and Mike get consistent shoutouts for their skillful handling of the rapids and genuine enthusiasm, while deckhands like Trenton and Taylor keep the energy high and help with everything from untangling fishing lines to making sure everyone gets soaked at just the right moment. People genuinely feel safe with these guides, even those who admit to being nervous about river trips beforehand. The Hells Canyon jet boat tours are the main draw, with families and couples alike raving about the stunning scenery and thrilling rapids. Fishing trips are also popular, with sturgeon and bass catches making for memorable days on the water. Guests love that the crew tailors the experience to the group's comfort level, whether that means multiple passes through rapids for thrill-seekers or a more relaxed pace. The provided lunch gets positive mentions, and there's apparently great ice cream at their shop. With nearly everyone saying they'll return next year, it's clear this outfit has the combination of adventure and hospitality dialed in.
This is my second visit to Killgore Adventures within the last 2 years. Great fun for the whole family. Hells Canyon is beautiful, and you will get a great history lesson about the Snake River. This trip is highly recommended. You will also get to swim in the river!
