PITTSBURG LANDING AT 7AM PACIFIC TIME
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.
Our captain Mike and deckhands Trenton and Max were absolutely amazing. Mike put us on ELEVEN fish in TWO days… and blew us away with the 10’ fish of a lifetime. They made the bachelor trip a trip of a lifetime, and I refuse to ever book with anyone else. Thank you Mike and all involved, you are the best and we will be back!!
