No. Why? Because 20 years olds think it’s fun and cool – so do 80 year olds. There are very few things in life that work that way. 😂
Kurt and staff is Coast Guard certified and has driven this section of the river more than any human in history. He has a 100% safety record…except for that one guy. We won’t talk about him right now… just kidding.
No, we have a ton of window seating on our jet boats. Our boats are certified to fit 50 people per ride and we LIMIT it to 38 to ensure comfortable rides for everyone.
FALSE! There are frequent bathroom breaks on the trip (four total). AND if there is an emergency… Kurt and the crew is very understanding of people’s needs and he will “magically spot a bar” if an emergency restroom break is needed and you can slip off to the back of the boat and go. 🤣
No, after years of doing this we have found that this is the perfect amount of time to be in Hells Canyon – you don’t want to be on the boat for longer when it’s hot but you don’t want to miss all of the good parts by cutting the trip short. You want to see the deepest most rugged part of Hells Canyon in the least amount of time possible. There’s plenty of shade, drinks & restrooms to keep you comfortable, and ton of action and wildlife to keep you entertained.
Yeah, you will see wildlife. We see wildlife almost 100% of the time. We always shoot for the hat trick which is: sheep, bald eagle and bear. We usually get it, but not always. We can’t guarantee when it comes to wildlife, but you have an extremely good chance of seeing some super cool animals.
Yes, you can! Kurt will help you in the boat. Kurt and his deckhand will personally help you in the boat and make you comfortable. We do it all the time! We lift wheelchairs in and out of the jet boat regularly. This trip is for EVERYONE!
Valid during the 2024 season only.
