Client Testimonials

Our family just returned from the July 20-23 Salmon River Canyon trip. This was our first experience camping and whitewater rafting. I needed not to be apprehensive for our safety. Your guides were knowledgeable, strong, and experienced… The trip was fun, exciting, and beautiful. Thank you for providing such a quality experience.
J. & P. Plummer, Houston, TX (1997)
Such a rare and unique opportunity to get away from city life and experience river time…. I enjoyed every moment, going between boats, great food, kids being kids, and good company. No one could have justly described the experience until I tasted it myself…. I am already thinking of my core friends who need to experience this and with whom, I shall travel with next year down the Snake. Perhaps a JAZZ trip also in a couple of years…
J. Karotkin, Los Angeles, CA (2011)
Thanks to the great Hughes crew!
Nichols, Langley, WA (2021)
We had a great time on the river – it was a special treat to have you along. The stories were extremely entertaining and the crew were all excellent hosts and guides! And the Jazz was outstanding!
R. and C. Yoder, Boise, ID (2015)
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.
T. Lilljedahl, Austin, TX (2014)
We had the most amazing time and I wanted you to know what an amazing crew. They each had something unique and special that added to the trip…. I only wish the trip had lasted another week or two. Can’t thank you all enough… Also loved the food.
B. Rochelle, Encinitas, CA (2013)
Hi all!  The trip was great!  Thank you!
Johnson, Pacific Palisades, CA (2021)
“The Middle Fork in June was the most beautiful river I’ve ever been on.  Golden memories.  Thanks for a great trip….. Tell “our” guides that we loved being with them and give them our thanks again.”
K. O’Neil, Vancouver, WA (2016)
“(T)hank you for the attention to detail, the wonderful treatment and friendship that your personnel gave Ruby and myself…We had a blast…”
N. Campbell, Ketchum, ID (2016)
Thanks so much for a great trip down the Middle Fork! Please relay my gratitude to all the guides who worked so hard on this trip. The rafting was wonderful as was the food and friendship. Sean and I are coming back next year with my parents and all three of my sons, the week of July 8th. Hope to see you then.
