Nothing compares to rafting Hells Canyon in Idaho, home of the mighty Snake River and the deepest gorge in North America. Marking the border between Idaho and Oregon, Idaho's Hells Canyon plunges to depths of nearly 8,000 feet between the Seven Devils range to the east and Oregon’s rim country to the west. Through this tremendous gorge, the Snake River's warm, clear waters yield some of the best big waves and whitewater rapids in the U.S. Northwest. In calmer sections, the Snake River serves up great Idaho fishing opportunities. Hells Canyon’s watery bliss is matched by its stunning rockscapes and the intriguing remnants of past inhabitants, creating a rich river adventure that’s hard to beat. Warm weather, warm water and fun rapids make this a great trip for kids, parents and grandparents of nearly any age.

2 testimonials about this trip

  1. Reviewer: P. Lomas located in Verona, WI USA
    “The trip leader and staff were fantastic. They were always helpful and had positive attitudes. Personally, I enjoyed tackling the rapids in the ducky! The inflatable kayak was a blast! This was my first whitewater kayaking of any type, and I went through those monster rapids. The biggest adrenaline rush I've ever had! My 15 year old daughter loved the whole trip, from the food to having a try at rowing the raft, to hanging out in camp. The food was great of course.”
  2. Reviewer: L. Martinelli located in Queen Creek, AZ USA
    “It's hard to choose what was most enjoyable about the trip since I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our adventure. However, if I have to choose it would be the crew that took us on an adventure that was not only beautiful but was done to see that we enjoyed ourselves to the limit. Food was really good too.”

    We loved our trip with Oars to Peru and now we only want to do more active vacations. We did like our comfy hotels at the end of the day and the great food but really enjoyed the outdoor aspects. Great Job!
