Hemmeter, SF, CA (2021)

Thanks again to you and your crew for a great trip August 9-14.

P. & M. Ulmer, Weiser, ID (2008)

We have just returned home from a wonderful trip on the Salmon River…We have been on more than a dozen professionally guided river rafting and kayaking trips.. (and) our recently completed trip with Hughes River Expeditions stands out as one of the finest adventures we have experienced… The crew’s team work and seamless sharing of the endless duties and chores was so efficient that it made the hard work appear easy and even fun. It certainly met and exceeded all our expectations…. Please… Read more

L. & J. Schaffner, Ancortes, WA (2014)

Thank you for a wonderful raft trip! There are so many important ways that you, as individuals and a group made it the best experience anyone could have. Of course, the food, facilities, organization and expertise were impressive. What really made it a special trip was you people personally. Each one of you work so hard and cheerfully, clearly like and enjoy one another, and freely give of yourselves in thoughtful ways… you can bet I’ll recommend you highly to anyone considering a raft trip.

J. Elder, Olympia, WA (2005)

I cannot tell you what a wonderful time we had. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Paul and the kids were beyond thrilled and are already planning when to come back. It was beautiful, you and your staff were wonderful. Paul recharged (away from his Blackberry, cell phone and computer), and the kids realized what it’s like to be a kid in a technology free atmosphere! …(W)e will also try to organize a large group of our friends most likely in 2013 but quite possibly next summe… Read more

J. Brindley, Los Angeles, CA (2011)

I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our time on the Salmon with your folks last week. It was a typical Hughes experience and exceeded all expectations. The river, the food, the guides, the camp sites and accommodations, the gear, the extra libations, the fishing, etc. were simply outstanding! We’ve had great guides on other trips, but Travis, Ben, and John raised the standard to a completely different level…Jerry, you should feel great about the customer experience you provide for your gu… Read more

D. Connelly, Fenton, MO (2009)

“You guides made this trip sooooo welcoming and comfortable for everyone. The depth of your organized bunch just has me in “AH”. Only regret: I didn’t take another lobster tail on Friday night. Best I’ve ever had… “

I. Wick, Minneapolis, MN (2016)

To the amazing team at Hughes! We have such beautiful memories of our wonderful trip with you this past summer. Hope you enjoy these photos. It was truly the trip of a lifetime made even more so by your fantastic team.

Scott and Clare Ochoa, Oakview, CA (2010)

What a great pleasure it was to boat the Middle fork with you and your crew. I cannot think of one thing more you could have done to provide better service or make the trip any more enjoyable. I thought I previously had experienced quality service on river trips, but Hughes River Expeditions proved the others to be rank amateurs.

D. Clayton, Kingston, RI (1986)

I want to thank you for a fantastic vacation. My friends, my wife, and myself, had about the best four days we could imagine. The Salmon River could not have been better, and I think you have made some life long converts to kayaking.

W. Johnson, Los Angeles, CA (2004)
