It’s rare that an adventure is equally educational AND transformative, but that’s exactly what you’ll experience when you take on this guided jet boat tour in Idaho’s Nez Perce Country. The Nez Perce, or the Nimiipuu, have resided in the Pacific Northwest for at least 11,500 years. With headquarters in north-central Idaho, it only makes sense to explore this region of the state with the help of the people who know it better than anyone else. Lucky for us, Nez Perce Tourism is offering a fantastic, one-of-a-kind tour on the waters of the Snake River, and it promises to be an adventure unlike any you’ve had before.
Nez Perce Tourism offers a variety of guided tours through beautiful Nimiipuu Country. In fact, we've featured a horseback tour from them before. However, if you prefer to travel by water, this guided jet boat tour may be more your style!
Join Nez Perce guides as they take you on an unforgettable journey up the Snake River in Hells Canyon. This 3-hour jet boat ride is a great way to take in the canyon's rugged scenery and an even better way to learn about the Nimiipuu's deep connection to this majestic region.
You'll board the jet boat at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater River. From here, Nimiipuu guides will share ancient oral legends and the importance of "Tsceminicum", which is where the waters meet.
You'll get to see this history with your own eyes when you visit the ancient Nimiipuu petroglyphs found along the rocks of Buffalo Eddy, along with where historical encampments were once located. Simply put, you'll receive a rare glimpse of this land that's impossible to get anywhere else.
Of course, the natural beauty of this setting is unlike anything you've seen before! Keep an eye out for wildlife and especially breathtaking landscapes, and be sure to have your camera ready at hand.
This one-of-a-kind tour is designed to be as educational as it is beautiful. The next jet boat tour will take place on July 13, 2020 from 1:00 p.m to 4:00 p.m. However, you can always reserve a customized tour for a date of your preference.
Explore Nez Perce Country by jet boat for a transformative experience you'll never forget. Learn more about the tours offered by Nez Perce Tourism here and reserve your spot for this summer soon!
