Snake River Adventures

We made our reservations on short notice the day before. The day of the trip the boat was on time at the pick up location. Our captain was the company owner with his young son acting as first mate and deckhand. The boat was clean, comfortable and well maintained. Captain Justin was very informative about things to see along the way and made frequent stops to bring us closer to wildlife along the shoreline including big horn sheep, deer, eagles, coyote, osprey, etc.
We stopped for a furnished box lunch approx. 35 miles up river on the Oregon side. The lunch was filing and tasty.
We turned around upriver after a total of 56 miles and on the way back the captain stopped at a small beach to allow us to stretch our legs and let the kids on board go swimming.
All in all the five and a half hour trip was great. The only reason I gave a four instead of a five was I had anticipated some sharp turns and «wet time» as I have had on similar excursions on other rivers. But this criticism may not be fair because it may not be allowed on this river, and it was a cooler day. Maybe it was a conscience decision due to the weather.

These guys are great, if you want to. check out Hells Canyon and have a day to kill, go with this outfitter. We had Capt. Eric and Ty, very informative with lots of stories of the canyon and its current and former residents. Our jetboat was the «Jodie Pearl «Sweet ride!
