If you're looking to immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of the Nimiipuu, the Saqanpa Hells Canyon Jet Boat Tour by Nez Perce Tourism is a must-do. This tour isn't just a boat ride; it's a deep dive into the heart of Nez Perce culture, beautifully woven into the stunning landscape of Hells Canyon.

From the moment the jet boat departs, the experience is nothing short of captivating. The guides are knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about sharing their heritage. They not only narrate the history but bring it to life with cultural songs and dances that resonate deeply with the spirit of the Nimiipuu.

Being on the water adds a serene and powerful dimension to the experience, allowing you to see the landscapes that are not just picturesque but also historically significant to the Nez Perce people. It feels like traveling through time, gaining insights into the lives and stories of the Nimiipuu in a way that is both educational and deeply moving.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Native American history or looking for a meaningful and exciting new experience.

Stacia is a true asset to the Nez Perce people, her love of the land and the remarkable story telling of the legends of her people are not only fascinating but make you feel like you are a part of the story. Absolutely love the legends and she explains them flawlessly. The jet boat tour was very educational.

If you're looking for a richly educational, place-based tour of some of the most ancient places and hearts within the Nez Perce homeland, Nez Perce Tourism offers the "best show in town."
Through story-telling, traditional food sharing, gift exchanges and more, I've seen how Nez Perce Tourism provides a variety of creative ways for people with diverse backgrounds to connect with the history and culture of the magnificent river canyonlands that surround the Lewis-Clark Valley.
Expert guides will lead you to an unforgettable encounter with their living culture while offering you a worthwhile glimpse of their legendary gift of hospitality. Check them out- you'll be glad you did! 🙂

Nez Perce Tourism is an awesome organization. The business owner, Stacia is friendly, professional and simply a delight. I have purchased items from her store, taken a few cruises on the tour boat and hired her to MC a few of my events. She has always come through and made everything extra special. I would highly recommend her business and her services to anyone looking to make an outstanding event and wonderful memories.

The transformational experiences offered by Nez Perce Tourism not only provides insights into the nimiipuu (Nez Perce people), the culture, and homelands, but shapes your perspective on life, land, society, the past, and the future. With excellent hospitality and a gift shop full Native-made products, Traditions Gift Shop, Nez Perce Tourism continues to build their line, including a can and shuttle bus (ADA accessible).

The most unique jetboat experience in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. You get to hear the Nez Perce side of history, culture, language and connection to the land, water, and sky!
