Client Testimonials

We enjoyed our Wallowa-Grande Ronde float trip very much! I hope another year we can again raft in ‘Hughes Style’.
W. Gibble, Gig Harbor, WA (2000)
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.
L. DeBergalis Greenwich, CT (2008)
I want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your crew at Hughes River Expeditions for a first-class trip down the Salmon River last week…. (It) left me with a strong desire to trade in the tie and computer for a kayak and oar!
R. Sherwood, Portland, OR (1991)
Wanted to say how much I enjoyed my trip down the river…. I was very impressed watching the guides work as such a tight knit unit.  You certainly put together an excellent crew!
T. Frey (2019)
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)
Thanks for an incredible trip your staff was amazing.
Kaelson, Dallas, TX (2021)
Thanks guys you were great. We had a fantastic time! Hopefully we will see you again soon!
L. Rawson, Miami, FL (2011)
(We) just got home from Stanley, where we spent three lovely days trying to prolong the magic of our Middle Fork journey. Being back in New Jersey, we feel a sad ache in our hearts missing the beautiful river, mountains, and the new friends we made….Thanks so much. The power of the wilderness and the river will stay with us for a long, long time.
M. Elliott, Skillman, NJ. (2012)
I’m writing to let you know how much I enjoyed my Middle Fork trip last week. It was one of those rare experiences where the reality is better than the expectation… Your gear, food, arrangements, meals, and guides all combined to make it a tremendous wilderness experience… Aside from the natural beauty, the best part of the trip for me was the guide crew, their courtesy, their tremendous river skills, their cooking acumen, and their quiet leadership. Thanks for selecting and supporting suc… Read more
M. Slater, Hollister, CA (2003)
I’m writing to thank you and your crew for our experience on the Salmon, Middle Fork, August 1-6, of this year. Your crew was beyond merely profession, rather somewhere over in the superb…. Not only the gourmet food… and the stacked Dutch ovens and all so tasty – Wow! I understand why so many among the guests were ‘old timers’ with you on that River….with wonderful memories.
