Client Testimonials

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.

G. J. Quigley, San Francisco, CA (1989)

Thanks guys you were great. We had a fantastic time! Hopefully we will see you again soon!

L. Rawson, Miami, FL (2011)

What a wonderful job you did… we are in awe of your efficiency and genuine love of nature, people, and your job. Spent lots of time sharing photos and trip stories with our friends.

L. Meyer, Apple Valley, MN (2005)

All hands had a great time…. The guides were amazing…. and they are friends for life. We can’t wait to re-schedule another trip! Thanks so much for making it one of the best Family Trips we’ve ever taken EVER.

S. Elliott, Meredian, ID (2013)

What I really wanted to write about is how, once again, the guides were what made the trip. Of course the river, the rapids, the scenery, the food, etc. was stupendous, but the collection of extraordinary people is what we’ll remember most. They all work incredibly hard but never made any of us feel they are inconvenienced. They not only made lifelong memories for us but really have played a part in the development of our children. Their gift will always be treasured. I’ll let them tell you … Read more

L. Bower, Chevy Chase, MD (2000)

Thanks again for a great river trip. You impressed a group of people who aren’t easy to impress! I’m looking forward to my next trip. Hope to see you soon.

M. Downer, Counsel & Secretary, American Funds Distributors, Inc., LA, CA (1992)

Thank you so much for organizing our trip. It went wonderfully!! I swear I feel like it was the best one ever. Put us down for 3rd week June 2007!

W. Herlong, Mobile, AL (2005)

We couldn’t have had a better experience, you have perfected “hospitality” and the food was amazing. We loved our time on the river. It is certainly very beautiful and the fishing incredible. I thin that we are going to find it very difficult to fish on other rivers now… My guess is that we would probably do the same week next year as we felt that the timing couldn’t have been better. Many thanks again to your whole team.

P. Beaumont, Tiburon, CA (2013)

I want to thank you for the trip you put together for our group in July. We had a great time…Ashley, Fred, Ryan, Eric, and Hugh Cooke are all great and took very good care of us. With the four 7-9 year olds, Ashley sort of got turned into a childcare boat and the recreational manager, along with her other responsibilities, and the kids all loved her. Each time we do a rafting trip your people make it a memorable event and please pass along our thanks.

L. Roberts, Boise, ID (2008)

We just got back from our Middle Fork trip with Hughes…. It simply could not have been better.
