Our fun starts where the others turn around…

Experiencing a full day jet boat tour with Riverquest Excursions will have you planning your return trip for the following year. All of our jet boat trips feature the canyon’s prehistory, history, geology, flora and fauna in addition to its beauty and exciting whitewater. Come and visit North America’s deepest gorge and a place of unsurpassed beauty which is Hells Canyon. From the Snake River you will view a cathedral of God’s own creation, with lofty walls and spires reaching heights of 9,393 feet, surpassing even the Grand Canyon!

Hells Canyon was formed by up thrusting lands and a down cutting river and reveals some of the earth’s most spectacular geological formations caused by ancient ocean beds, floods and volcanoes. The Seven Devils Mountains tower over the river to the east, a high plateau rims the canyon on the west and the high Wallowa Mountains loom nearby.

Our full day tour includes:

Coffee, orange juice and a muffin provided mid-morning.
Bottled water and soft drinks provided all day.
Boxed lunch
On Board restroom

Full day Snake River Adventure

We absolutely loved the all day trip. We recommend the full day trip because you see so much more of the canyon. The crew and staff were exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip very pleasurable. They were very aware of their passengers and helped with any needs promptly. They really took the time to tell us about Hells Canyon, answer our questions and made sure we were all having a great time. The boat ride was fun, exciting and informative. We saw lots of birds and animals and magnificent scenery. We would highly recommend this tour group as they truly put forth an extra effort to give the best experience to their customers.
