Jet boat is an option, however consider how far you may have to pack the animal on your back to the river, if you are young and strong then go for it. But if your a bit thick through the middle and knees that don't work 100%, horse hunt is the answer.

I have to smile when I see people post that they'd rather buy their own jet or pack string than spend the money on a guide outfitter's services. Yes, GO's are $1,000 per day give or take but when I step off the plane or horse at base camp, my hunting meter quits ticking. Not so with horse feed, horse trailer, farriers and vets etc. or jet payments and monthly insurance and maintenance. To each their own, but I think you're ahead with GO's and packers.

Used an outfitter to fly us into a land strip a few years back. Gave us a bunch of legitimately good info on the area with the exception of the actual co-ords of the strip(straight up wong co-ords), which we could not confirm prior to the flight due to cloud cover on all mapping software we had at our disposal.
One member of our group had back issues which limited how far we could realistically hunt(we knew this going in) which would not have been as big of a deal had we landed where we thought we were landing. As it turned out, we became pretty limited on what we could do.
I have nothing against outfitters and have many acquaintances within the industry, but this trip left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth(with this specific outfitter).
