Hell’s Canyon Snake River Rafting Vacations

Snake River through Hell’s Canyon whitewater rafting trip prices come in a few shapes and sizes. You can raft the Oregon / Idaho border for three to five days with trips ranging from 35 to 79 miles of the Snake River. See our launch dates below and the associated prices.
These are our total prices for each Snake River / Hell’s Canyon rafting vacation, from lunch the first day until lunch the last day with vehicle shuttles included. We provide ALL camping equipment. No extra rental fees and no hidden fees.

Rates:

Trip Length	Price per person
Three Day Rafting Deluxe	$1,010
Five Day Rafting Deluxe	$1,470
Three Day Rafting Economy *	$875
Five Day Rafting Economy *	$1,250

* Economy… why does it cost less? We recognize that not all guests need or even want the extra “bells and whistles” that come with our deluxe rafting vacations. Therefore, on the economy rafting vacations we ask our guests to participate in washing the dishes, loading and unloading the rafts and a few other little camp chores. Combine this with the elimination of a few of our labor intense deluxe items such as espresso coffee and fresh fruit smoothies and the result is the elimination of one paid staff member. We pass the savings on to you. Everything about the economy rafting vacation is very high quality. The menu, guides and river-time are all the same as our deluxe rafting vacations. We are testing this product in 2010 to see if it should become our standard.

Snake River Fun Fact #5:
At the close of the last Ice Age there were amazing increased flows of water in Hell’s Canyon, and evidence shows that there were a series of great floods. These floods made extreme transformation of the landscape in Hell’s Canyon. It is supposed that the combination of rock slides and ice dams blocking the Snake River created large natural reservoirs backing up water and large amounts of sediment. Once the ice dams gave way, the Snake River would then cut a fresh path through the sediment leaving huge bars at the side of the Snake River. Many large bars will be observed on your rafting vacation through Hell’s Canyon and here you will find evidence of man attempting to make Hell’s Canyon a home.
