Hells Canyon is deeper than the Grand Canyon which is difficult to imagine when you are at the bottom. Wildlife sightings can be common of big horn sheep and deer. A jet boat is the way to get up the…Full review by dbinhou7511

Q:
I'm extremely sensitive towards motion/seasickness so I want to be sure I can handle it before signing up for a jet boat tour at Hells Canyon. For a whole day tour, how much time would be going through rapids? Are the rapids all close together or more spread out? Would the half day tour be enough to see the Canyon?
A:
There are approx 5-6 rapids between Pittsburg Landing and Hell's Canyon Dam, and the jet boat moves through them quickly. Probably each rapid is 20 seconds in duration. I …

There are approx 5-6 rapids between Pittsburg Landing and Hell's Canyon Dam, and the jet boat moves through them quickly. Probably each rapid is 20 seconds in duration. I would be surprised is it would be a problem. I have gotten seasick EVERY time I've been on boat in ocean, and this trip was no problem. The half day tour would give you a great view of the canyon, but the full day has stops at some of the ranches along the way and those are SUPER interesting.

Hello, I just today (5/3/15) received your question. Hope IF you did go that you were able to see it. We went with a group, as part of a tour. We spent the night in Lewiston and were then taken to the Area. I should think that one day would be sufficient if all you wanted to do was see the canyon. That is possible only by boat. There are no roadways to access it. Midway through the ride we stopped for lunch at a barn-type structure; it was delicious. I assume those arrangements are made when the boat ride is purchased. It was a buffet type arrangement, then sitting at picnic tables. We quite enjoyed this adventure... incidentally, I am a Senior Citizen. It was a real thrill!! H. DeLong Orlando, FL
