Client Testimonials

We had a fantastic time and will definitely be rafting with you again. The guides were great in every aspect and it made the trip that much more enjoyable. They exceeded our expectations and that was hard to do. The food was delicious and I never felt like I was missing out by being gluten-free… they even made cakes and brownies for me.
E. Bynoe, St. George, Barbados. (2012)
We just wanted to thank you for the trip of a lifetime (although we plan to try again next year). We had a marvelous time on the Middle Fork. Your staff was incredible. The entire experience was life changing. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Idaho. Thank you for introducing us to some wonderful new friends – the guide crew… You will hear from us soon when it’s time to make reservations for next year.
M. Graham, Barrington, IL (2004)
“Well, I am getting back into the swing of things here but it’s been tough to resist the temptation to sleep in my backyard, and I’m sure missing Buzz’s coffee.  Thank you for a fabulous adventure down the Owyhee!…The Canyon was beautiful beyond description, and the food and camaraderie fabulous.  You run a tight ship that doesn’t SEEM tight to your guests…always a great vibe on an HRE trip!”
S. Myers, Boise, ID (2016)
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)
Thanks for a fantastic trip. You run a first class operation and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this trip.
M. Gordon, Canmore, Alberta (2013)
Thanks guys you were great. We had a fantastic time! Hopefully we will see you again soon!
L. Rawson, Miami, FL (2011)
The trip was a great success and we were very pleased with your services. I will be sure to reach out to you if another group at Capital is interested. And in a few years I hope to return and bring my family on the river.
M.B. Swerdloff, LA, CA (2015)
At no time in the past have I written a provider of a service…and told them what I thought. But, as we were coming to the take out point on our float trip, I vowed to write to you… To start with, we had an experience of a life time! Each individual in our group has independently expressed how amazing this experience was and at least one told me it was life changing and healing. Taking the approach where you did whatever it took… generated good will among our group…big time kudos to you a…
C. Healy, Portland, OR (2006)
Our group had a great trip… We couldn’t say enough about the crew, still talking about them the next day. Great guys, didn’t make me miss Buzz from my last trip, but then you didn’t tell me that I’d have Buzz’s son on this trip! The guys were talking about the Middle Fork trip and the Snake Canyon, so maybe I’ll be back soon.
D. Haight, Evanston, IL (2014)
Thanks for the great trip… It is spectacular country and great service. Paddling the kayaks through the rapids and falls was so invigorating. I need to get those juices flowing every couple of years. I hope to repeat the trip with Mary…
D. Curran, Ballwin, MO (2015)
