Why Choose Hells Canyon Raft as your Outfitter
The Beginning of a Legacy...
In 1976 the Armacost Family took their first trip through Hells Canyon. The summer of 1977 found them with their own gear taking the first of countless trips down the mighty Snake River in Hells Canyon. Today they are still running rapids and showing people how a river rafting trip can change their lives. Kurt and Heidi Armacost have carried on the family tradition of a superior rafting trip while setting the bar for luxury camping.
Our Snake River Trips are designed to be comfortable and accessible to most everyone, regardless of experience. We have taken people as yourng as 5 and as old as 90. People come from all over the world to raft the Snake and Salmon Rivers. We get a mix of single, familes, couples and friends. Generally kids should be 7 and adults should be in good physical condition. Some of our rafters have never been on a river trip or camping. Other are experienced campers. As a rule, anyone who likes to have fun and relax will love a river rafting trip.
We have outfitted trips on the Snake River through Hells Canyon since 1982. We are the "Hells Canyon Specialists." We do one trip at a time and we do it right. As the company owners we feel it imperative to accompany each trip. We are the rafting leaders in Hells Canyon.
