Hughes River Expeditions

The Snake Man, It was unanimous that all had a great time. I think we have passed the torch to the next generation… I spent most of my boat time with Colin aka Snake Jr. There were times when he would say things that would freak me out because he sounded so much like you. I would have to turn around to make sure I wasn’t in a time warp. It was like you were on the oars. Good to see you my friend.

My daughter and I had the most wonderful adventure… I can not thank you enough for the opportunity to live outdoors in comfort for the better part of a week in the wilderness. The entire crew was meticulous about the environment and care of the ‘guests’. I never worried about the safety of my 10 year old because all of the guides were cautious and capable. I also appreciated the fact that she could observe their concern for our natural surroundings.

Thanks for the great trip… It is spectacular country and great service. Paddling the kayaks through the rapids and falls was so invigorating. I need to get those juices flowing every couple of years. I hope to repeat the trip with Mary…

I’d like to thank you and your entire team on a wonderful Idaho experience that only “Hughes” can provide. It’s an extraordinary place and I feel more than satisfied that we’ve seen something special and unique.

We had an amazing trip last week on the Middle Fork! Thanks so much for all your hard work taking care of all of us… at camp, meals… Thanks for your great company, sharing all your wisdom of the river and the land and sharing stories with us! We are all sad the trip is behind us… Hope to do it again…

You’ve built a great company based on the values of hard work, respecting the environment, and taking good care of people. I had a great time on this trip and appreciate all the effort you’ve put into building Hughes River.

I lie in bed at night thinking about the Screech Owl talking and the two huge storms with real lightning and thunder that shook my safe tent. I was so excited to see the Black Bear under the tree so relaxed and the great Big Horned Sheep down drinking water out of the river & groups of sheep way up high on the side of the mountain. The one River Otter that smiled at us, then dove under the rocks.

Thank you for putting together such a great trip. You and your crew do an outstanding job of hosting a river trip. I think the biggest difference for us was the way your folks interacted with the guests essentially 24/7. We appreciated that aspect of the trip as much as anything… Again, thanks for putting on “a very good show” for us and TNC. We look forward to being on a river with you and your crew again.

I can’t say enough positive things about our trip and experience (Middle Fork August 1-6), and about the Hughes guides – every one of them. Thank you so much Jerry, and our sincere appreciation and thanks to Colin, Tony, Bob, Josh, David, Marshall, and Mark. It was truly amazing and lifetime memorable for us – no doubt about it! We will be back for sure.

Just wanted to say thanks for the best trip of my life. Amazing part of the country. I hope to do another trip…
