Rich and Becky run exceptional Hells Canyon jet boat tours that consistently wow families and groups of all ages. Rich grew up on the Snake River, and his personal family history dating back generations adds authentic depth to the narration. He's a skilled captain who expertly navigates the rapids while sharing stories about the canyon's geology, wildlife, and historic sites. Becky handles logistics seamlessly, often driving the shuttle service and ensuring everyone feels comfortable throughout the day. The tours include well-planned stops at historic landmarks like Polly Bemis Ranch and opportunities to spot bighorn sheep and bald eagles. Lunch exceeds expectations with homemade touches, and getting wet through the rapids is part of the fun on hot days. The experience works beautifully for multi-generational groups, from infants to seniors in their late 70s. Be prepared for rocky, uneven terrain at stops requiring moderate mobility. The scenery is jaw-dropping, the staff radiates genuine hospitality, and the overall experience creates lasting memories that have people already planning return trips.
Had a great full day jet boat experience on the Snake River. Captain and Becky were excellent hosts, guides, and historians. The views are amazing and the rapids are fun but not terrifying. (Trip in September) The lunch was very nice. The three stops were interesting and allowed us to stretch our legs and use the facilities. At the stops you should be prepared for exiting the boat and walking rocks, sand and uneven ground. At two of the stops you will be on a rocky and sometimes hilly trail. Overall, it’s a fun day for whole Family.
