Jet Boat Adventures & Fishing with Beamers in Clarkston

Beamers Hells Canyon Tours operates out of Clarkston, Washington, offering an authentic gateway to the dramatic landscapes of Hells Canyon, North America's deepest river gorge. Situated along the Snake River, this region combines rugged geological formations, diverse wildlife, and rich history into every itinerary. Beamers specializes in jet boat tours that traverse Hells Canyon’s winding waterways, presenting travelers with views of sheer basalt cliffs, forested hillsides, and wildlife such as bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and moose crossing the river.

Guests at Beamers can select from a range of boat trips tailored to different interests and timeframes: from brief 2-hour discovery tours providing an immersive introduction to the canyon, to full-day jet boat excursions that include multiple stops for swimming, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The mail boat tour is a standout experience, combining transportation of local mail with exploratory stops at ranches and orchards, deeply embedding visitors in this unique riverside culture.

For anglers, fall and winter steelhead and salmon fishing charters offer prime opportunities to engage with the river’s renowned fishing grounds under the guidance of seasoned captains familiar with seasonal patterns and prime spots. Evening and unWINEd wine-tasting cruises add a relaxed, social dimension to the offerings, perfect for soaking in sunset colors over the water while sampling regional wines.

The crew’s commitment to safety, comfort, and an informative narrative sets Beamers apart. Captains like Jace and deckhands like Jeff bring a wealth of local knowledge that enhances every moment onboard. From snack breaks at rustic river stops to generous sack lunches served riverside, the tours emphasize a hands-on appreciation for the land and river.

Beamers is more than a tour company; it’s an invitation to connect deeply with one of the Northwest’s most striking natural playgrounds, where geology, wildlife, and heritage intertwine across each mile of river. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, Beamers crafts an experience as dynamic and enduring as Hells Canyon itself.
