The Hells Canyon Raft Fleet

Rapids should be respected, not feared. That's why we offer different styles of water craft. Throughout the rafting trip you are invited to try all the different boats we offer. A secure handhold, life jackets, and plenty of advance preparation ensure a fun experience. All boats are self-bailing which means you never touch a bail bucket - unless it's for a water fight! You choose your level of involvement and always feel free to change your mind.

Oar Rafts
The most stable and comfortable place to kick back, relax, and fish. Take pictures and enjoy the scenery, 16' - 18' in length, controlled by your Hells Canyon Raft guide, with two large oars. All you need to do is get in and hold on.

Paddle Rafts Participate in the action
Teamwork and fun are key elements of paddle rafting on the Salmon or Snake Rivers. Each person is armed with a paddle in hand, and coached by the Hells Canyon Raft guide who helps to navigate the rapids.

Inflatable Kayaks Even with no prior experience our one or two person watercraft will allow you to enjoy the thrill of Snake River or Salmon River kayaking within minutes of putting on your life jacket. There are sections of the river that are challenging for the more experienced keyakers, and easy stretches for novices or kids. When you're ready just return to an Oar Boat, stretch out in the sun and relax.

Supply Boat
Each day our supply boat packs up the camp gear, river bags and extra ice chests and moves down the river ahead of us. This keeps the guest boats uncluttered and makes for longer floats down the river. At the end of the day when you arrive in camp your tent is already pitched and made ready for your relaxing evening.
