At no time in the past have I written a provider of a service…and told them what I thought. But, as we were coming to the take out point on our float trip, I vowed to write to you… To start with, we had an experience of a life time! Each individual in our group has independently expressed how amazing this experience was and at least one told me it was life changing and healing. Taking the approach where you did whatever it took… generated good will among our group…big time kudos to you a… Read more

My husband and I just came out of the river this morning. We did a 6 day Middle Fork/Salmon float trip. The guides (Aaron, Buzz, Hardy, Josh, Robbie, Tony, and Travis), the boats, the camps, and the food were 5 stars. We rarely repeat trips. We would repeat this trip in a heartbeat. Thank you Hughes!

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)

Many thanks for your exemplary customer service and interactions during last week’s river trip…I’m looking forward to an opportunity for a return trip and would not hesitate to recommend you to friends considering a similar trip.

Still in a state of bliss inspired by the river trip. So good to know it’s still there and that I can still spend some time on it, thanks to your outfit.

K. Davey, Couer d’Alene, ID (2014)

Just a brief note to let you know how much Leon and I enjoyed our river trips on the Hells Canyon of the Snake River and the Grande Ronde River last week. We both felt that the trips were superb – from the whitewater, to the weather, to the food, to the great company. We are looking forward to see you on the Salmon River Canyon in August.

B. Krissoff, Truckee, CA (1995)

We are easing back into the real world after a wonderful week on the Middle Fork. We had high expectations based on the experiences of friends who have floated with Hughes as well as your very own testimonials. And we found out that everyone – even you – understated it! This was a trip that will not soon be forgotten…I will remember my first-ever sighting of bighorn sheep, Bill will remember his first attempt at fly fishing and of course, there was the camaraderie, great food and total rel… Read more

S. Myers, Boise, ID (2009)

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)

Our guides were all exceptional! …treated Tom and me like family members. They celebrated Tom’s birthday with pancakes in the morning and a Dutch oven cake with candles for dessert that evening. Thank you for an amazing family vacation.
