Family Rafting Trips in Idaho and Oregon
On the river there are no interruptions from traffic, errands, jobs, or shopping. Don't worry about scattering at mealtime. Your family will sit down together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Other families will usually travel with you. Many lifetime friendships begin "on the river". A family rafting trip is a great three generation adventure with kids, parents, and grandparents.
All camping gear is provided. The guide crew does the campwork and cooking, so you can spend time with your family. Mom's: The guides set up, cook, and cleanup. You can read a book, swim, fish, hike, ... You can find the "right" trip with HRE. Our variety of rivers and equipment assures a trip that fits your experience, interests, and needs. We can plan an introductory trip for a family with young children, and we can organize a challenging white water run for athletic teenagers and young adults. Safety is our first concern. Life jackets are always worn on the water. The guides know how important safety is, and they understand how important safety is to you. Most Hughes guides range from 30 to 60 years of age. We also work with some college aged guides who add enthusiasm to the team. Many of the crew have guided professionally for 20+ years.
Evenings and mornings on the river are special. There's nothing like snuggling into a cozy sleeping bag, chatting beside a glowing campfire, enjoying a clear night sky, or waking to the aroma of camp coffee and the sound of the river racing past camp.... Call us at (800) 262-1882 or e-mail so we can help you pick the trip that is right for your family. "The Great American Raft Trip" is a unique and valuable tradition. We invite you to join us "on the river".

Family rafting vacations are an American tradition. For 34 years, families have made whitewater rafting trips with Hughes River Expeditions, Inc. Our family oriented, safety first, river runs are world class family experiences. Family trips make up 60% of our annual business. Jerry Hughes and Carole Finley have raised their kids on Idaho and eastern Oregon rivers. We enjoy outfitting for families, and we do it well.
The guides can help a young angler catch that "first fish" or pick the best dry fly for an advanced fisherman. The trip pace provides time for hiking, exploring, and relaxing. Kids and adults love volleyball or frisbee on pure white 
Meals are fantastic, and we are happy to provide "kid's" food (burgers, hotdogs, PBJ, "some mores",..) . Let us know your children's favorites. We'll serve our normal adult menu and plenty of extras that kids will love. There is unlimited potable water, plenty of ice, and a generous complimentary supply of beverages. You are welcome to bring any favorite beverages.© 2009 Hughes River Expeditions |
