We have done all three trips with Hammerdown and they don't disappoint. The fishing was awesome with these guys. The dam cruise was alot of fun and the scenic tour was a blast. It was extremely hot on tour, they stopped multiple times to let us jump in the river to cool down. The food is unbelievable on all three trips. All the crew was knowledgeable and created a fun atmosphere

We LOVE fishing with Hammer Down! Never a bad day on the river. We usually do spring and summer trips.We went for the first time in the fall the other day. It was so warm and cozy, not what I expected. Always a memory made with a great crew!

Great trip with Tommy about two weeks ago. Incredible scenery that is worth the trip by itself. We caught quite few smallmouth without putting a great deal of effort into it and we did wind up getting a sturgeon. Definitely want to make a return trip!

Stumbled upon these guys, quite accidentally and last minute. We decided after that this was certainly God’s Plan…. As these guys at Hammer Down are fantastic! Took my 13yr old son out for a day trip, midweek, caught sturgeon, bass, catfish, and that’s just the fish. The boat ride was epic! Another bonus, this little town is incredible. Population 80, and the owner of Hammer Down…. Is the mayor!

Very friendly staff, good communication. Had a great tour, saw mountain goats, a bear, and a 9+ foot sturgeon. Fun going through the rapids as well. Homer was knowledgeable and good with our kids (they even caught fish at lunch). We had a great time and would highly recommend.

Just wrapped up a 2 day trip with Homer and his staff. Had an amazing time. Harry and Tom were our guides. Caught a ton of fish. These two busted their butts to keep us on fish. Super cool guys. Food was amazing. Beautiful area and a top notch experience. Don't hesitate book a trip!

What an amazing experience!! I expected a great trip, but I was not prepared to be completely WOWed.. My husband and I, along with our two children were part of a group. Jim was our captain and I was so impressed with his handling of his boat.. and care and understanding of Hells canyon and the snake river. We saw big horn sheep, black bear, and bald eagles and various birds. The Lunch was outstanding. We had so much fun. I have not been able to stop talking about it . Thank you so much!!!

Like many, I was not aware of the hidden gem that is Hellls Canyon, which is America's deepest river gorge. How does one see the dramatic changes in elevation and terrain on a day when the sky was so blue and bald eagles flew? I strongly recommend booking such an adventure with Hammer Down River Excusions in Whitebird ID. Candi handled our reservations and answered all of our questions about touring the river on a jet boat. Harry, the captain of our boat, provided a safe, thrilling and informative day on the river. We were treated to a gourmet lunch under the shade of apples trees on an old homestead at Cash Creek. I enjoyed our trip so much downriver, that I booked another trip to go upriver, thereby seeing most of the 125 miles of the Snake River that flows through Hells Canyon. Book your adventure today with Hammer Down and experience the beauty and remoteness of Hells Canyon for yourself.
