Client Testimonials

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)
Thanks for an incredible trip your staff was amazing.
Kaelson, Dallas, TX (2021)
I would like to extend our thanks for an outstanding experience. The crew we had on our trip was absolutely great—fun, interesting, entertaining and each one had the uncanny ability to anticipate our every need.
H. Reifschneider, President, All Kitchens of America, Boise, ID (1989)

J. Points, Tulsa, OK (2000)
Our Salmon River Canyon float trip … was a huge success. All of your guides were extremely professional as well as being good company. As usual, the food and care taken of us was excellent. It was also nice that two of your crew guided us on the Middle Fork a few years ago – it was like adding two old friends to the group. We look forward to our next one.
L. Roberts, Boise, ID (1993)
I can never thank you, Carole, and our wonderful guides, Josh, Tony, Mike, and Ben enough for providing that amazing … lifetime experience.  There are no words.  You’re our new extended family….  I frequently replay one video on my phone which brings me right back to the calm and peaceful days on the river.  What I wouldn’t give to be there right now.
M. Frazier-Koch (2019)
You guys and gal did a superb job of making this trip enjoyable and memorable. We admire your skill, your friendly demeanor and, especially your teamwork.You made us feel special!
Members of the Spruce Creek Rod & Gun Club, PA (2008)
“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)
We had an absolute ball
E. Milias, Aspen, CO (2013)
