COVID – 19 & RIVER TRIPS 
With Covid-19 still apart of our lives, we are asking our clients and staff to take every precaution possible to ensure the most safe and healthy trips on the river as we can.  This includes getting vaccinated prior to your trip, if possible; limiting exposure to large groups or gatherings before your trip, wearing face masks when going out to public places and during travel to and from the river trip, and washing your hands more often and more thoroughly!  Please practice high levels of sanitation and precaution when preparing for and traveling to your river trip.  Please remember to self evaluate for signs or symptoms of possible Covid-19 infection in the weeks and days leading up to your river trip.

HRE has improved sanitation on the river, as well.  We have invested in many products for around camp and the boat houses.  Each guide will be wearing a mask/handkerchief/buff while preparing any meal that won’t be cooked, while serving any food, and while in close quarters such as a bus ride to and from the river.  Clients will also be required to wear a mask/handkerchief/buff while serving themselves food or using any group-shared common items (ie.: water cooler, cocktail ice cooler, hot water and coffee dispensers, etc.)  We have also invested in a product called Vital Oxide which has a half life of around 60 seconds and the effectiveness of 100% bleach.  Guides will be moving around the camp spraying down common items with the Vital Oxide routinely.  We have also invested in gallons of hand sanitizer and each shared common item will have a hand sanitizer stationed along side which you will need to use (or wash your hands) before using any shared common camp item.  Between trips, the gear is laundered, washed by our new Hotsy machine and commercial dish washer and/or sprayed down with Vital Oxide and hung to dry.

We are ecstatic to be able to offer our services to the public again, for the 45th season, going into the summer of 2021, and feel confident about offering trips with these increased sanitary protocols.

Client Testimonials

We all had a marvelous time, the crew was the best, and it was a joy to be with Carole.  Hope to plan another trip!
K. Deam (2019)
“I am so happy to have gotten to spend time with you in your environment.  You clearly found your niche those years ago.  I/we had a great time.  I met some very interesting people and have new friends.  River time is curative of almost all ills.  It was great for me in many ways.  You have a great team.  You are turning over the reins to a very competent young man – Colin.  I look forward to more river trips with your outfit…”
J. Menzner, Boise, ID (2016)
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

What a wonderful trip and fantastic guides!  Thank you!
Dolezal, Chester, ID (2021)
I wanted to let you know what an incredible trip we had. The landscape was amazing, the food was delicious, and the rapids were super fun. But absolutely and by far the thing that made this trip super special for me were the guides. From keeping us safe, to keeping us fed, to keeping us entertained, they went above and beyond. … They were also incredibly wonderful with our kids, encouraging them to try out the kayaks and showing them the ropes…. I wanted to take them all home with us after t… Read more
L. Reeves, Evanston, IL (2014)
You have put together a terrific group, beginning with Kim in the office and extending to the field staff. The guides were wonderfully professional, going well beyond what was needed just to do their jobs. The River and it environs are magnificent, and the commentary, friendliness and support of the individual guides enhanced the experience considerably.
L. Smith, Greensboro, NC (2006)
A 62 year old woman from NY who expected to travel down the Salmon River in an oar boat, but jumped into a duckie and experienced the river in a way she never imagined.  Feeling deeply grateful to have shared this extraordinary adventure with such a special group of wonderful people!
Hochberg, Great Neck, NY (2021)
Thank you all so much for a wonderful week of rafting and incredible dining.  Your work ethic and knowledge are incredible.
D. Borek (2019)
Thank you for a great time on the river. The food was wonderful. The guides were very informative, giving us great insight to the river and it’s history. We are and will continue to recommend your company to friends and family.
D. and P. Bachmann, Yakima, WA (2011)
I have an annual rafting trip with an amazing group of women.  This year we met at the Lower Salmon in Lewiston Idaho.  The crew assigned to the Divas was great.  These guys worked HARD at making our trip everything it could be.  Amazing scenery, great fun, yummy food, great guides who are very fun… my face still hurts from laughing.  This trip was just what the Doctor ordered.
