Client Testimonials

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.

The kids adored you. The adults were in awe of you. Thanks for making the trip so special. Big T would have loved that chocolate cake!

Thanks for another great trip. It’s always great to see you again. The guide lineup was spectacular. I especially enjoyed getting to know Colin a little bit better. What a great guy! I will be in touch sometime in the near future to discuss our next Hughes’ river adventure.

“The team was great and everything went beautifully. We hope to join you again next year or the year after. We have a lot of budding boaters and everyone has a ball regardless of age or skills. Keep it up!”

D. Emmett, Santa Monica, CA (2016)

I must compliment you on the outstanding crew that took us down the river. These guys are, in our eyes, the absolute best!! They did a great job in every area. They prepared excellent meals, had camp ready each day when we arrived, made each person feel comfortable and safe, and of course, got us down the river in one piece! It was amazing that everyone in the group thought their boatman was the best.

Rachel Neugarten & Deanna Brown, The Nature Conservancy, Portland, OR (2006)

“We took your Middle Fork trip in late June. It was wonderful. The crew is among the nicest young men we ever met. There were several children aged 10-14 years with our friends. Those kids got to go kayaking through some exciting water with the guides and adults nearby in the rafts to help…. Those kids and their parents will have some great tales to tell when they get home. The guides also helped the grannies clamor up the rocky river banks, and are great cooks. The sleeping pa… Read more
