We haven’t diluted ourselves by growing into a huge river company.Hells Canyon Raft focuses on one singular goal; to provide our guests with the best river adventure possible.Personal attention to guest comfort and safety, combined with first class gear, make your river trip with HCR the trip of a lifetime.

We listen to our customers, and customize each trip to the highest guest expectations available.Our trips are meticulously organized, and each aspect is over seen by the owners.We have learned a few lessons over the years,and woven this experience into the fabric of each trip, this local knowledge and experience counts when choosing a river company.Kurt and Heidi are there from the first phone call, to possibly rowing your boat down the river.There is a reason we have one of the highest rates of repeat guests.

We specialize in this river, with over 25 years experience in Hells Canyon.When it comes to your security, which is our greatest concern, this experience counts.We place a strong emphasis on safety, while guiding and teaching you about the river canyons.Our guides are trained in not only river safety but also natural and cultural interpretation.This is what we love to do, and sharing these gifts of nature and beauty with you is our passion.
