Exciting Day on The River
Wow, what a trip & what fun we had!! Our pilot Jim was awesome as was Canyon his asst. We saw bald Eagle, 3 bears, multiple big horn sheep, blue heron. We stopped to wait for the dam water release and got in the shade and while we did we threw some fishing lines in and ended up in 15 minutes catching a 9 foot plus Sturgeon!! Our trip also entailed helping two other boaters with problems they had.

Incredible Tour --- Exceeded my Expectations!
Went on the jet boat tour of Hell's Canyon and had THE BEST time! This experience was above and beyond my expectation! The owner, a native Idahoan, was the jet boat driver and was very skillfill in navigating the rapids. The class 3 rapids were exhilerating and such a thrill - It's a must do!
In addition to the ride and incredible landscapes, we were blessed with amazing wildlife. We spotted not one but two bears! It was such a treat to watch them in their natural habitat. One was picking blackberries and the other was fishing.
It was an incredible day I will not forget. I will be back! I highly recommend them!!!

Best outdoor adventure in idaho
We have went on this trip several times. We take friends or family and always have a blast!! If you are looking to experience beautiful Idaho back country while riding on a powerful boat this is the trip for you!! If you want to just play in the water hit the rapids more often and fish then take a private boat with killgore. I recommend it all!! And don’t forget to stop at killgore adventure stop to get a scoop of the best ice cream.

Don’t miss out - book this trip!
This was a once in a lifetime adventure. Worth every penny and Kilgore was an excellent choice from start to finish. The staff was friendly and helpful our boat crew was outstanding - Kurt and Canyon - made everything great!! Our family had a blast. We saw bears, big horn sheep, eagles and enjoyed the rapids and the beauty of hells canyon. Even the box lunch exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend!! Outstanding!!

Best Hell's Canyon Adventure
The trip was awesome. The river was somewhat low in the morning, but double the flow coming back. 100° plus weather and man did the getting wet coming back feel good. The day was packed with scenery, big horn sheep, bears and deer. The drivers kept the jet boats in best part of the river and added great information along the way...

Excellent Fun Filled Jet Boat Tour
This was very much the highlight of our vacation! A+++++++ Can't wait to do this again! From the easy booking, easy check-in process, wonderful lunch and the EXCELLENT guided tour of Hell's Canyon you won't be disappointed! This trip is highly recommended!!! Of course, my hubby loved the fact that the jet boat had twin engines and plenty of horsepower to boot! Wear something that can get wet!

Fantastic!
Absolutely the nicest people ever to go on a river trip with! Excitement! Information! Beautiful terrain! Oh and water! Don't expect to leave dry!
And seriously, those sandwiches for lunch? Dreaming of the next time we can get our hands on one! Will be doing this trip again, and coming up when they start new adventures too! Plus using them whenever possible for other river ferrying needs in Hells Canyon!

Spent the weekend in hells canyon for my bachelor party and the Killgore crew was outstanding, We did the jet boat tour one day and rented the RZR's the next. Both adventures were an awesome experience, Crew and staff made the whole trip a breeze and an overall killer time!

recommends Amazing tours! The company is owned and operated by multi-generational Idahoans from the area. They know Hells Canyon better than anyone! In addition to the thrill of the Class 3 rapids in the jet-boat and majestic Canyons (WOW), we were treated with 2 bear sightings and a bald eagle. It was an unforgettable adventure! Highly recommend!!!

recommends If you're looking for a calm, boring, run of the mill river cruise... this is NOT it!!
Jeff gave us the ride of a lifetime! One of the passengers caught a sturgeon, we stopped a few times to swim, had lunch on a sandy beach, and jumped off a few cool rocks!
On the way back to the dock, he made sure we all didn't overheat by hitting all the right rapids and stopped again at another sandy beach to play in the water.
Overall this was a great adventure- I highly recommend it! Make sure you ask for jeff! 🙂

recommends Came from Charleston, SC to visit family, booked easily with Killgore for the Jet Boat tour. the 6 hour tour showed us all of the beauty, got us soaked in the rapids and was a family fun event. The staff was amazing, engaged and incredibly accommodating to our kids (5 and 7). It's worth EVERY single penny plus more. It was the icing on the cake for our trip to Idaho. Highly recommend anything they do. We will return and book again!

recommends My second adventure with friends and Killgore. Curt and Mike are fantastic!!! The schedule of the day is perfectly paced. They were so accommodating to those of us not so nimble on our feet. The adventures fit every adrenaline level. Kids had a great time as well as those a bit nervous. Yummy lunch, great sights, and water!!
Expect to get wet on this trip!! So exciting and refreshing with thrills abound. It’s worth the drive. Thank you Curt and Mike!!!
