What an outstanding operation! This company’s river guides are the best I’ve come across. My family has rafted the Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, and a host of others with professional guides. Hughes company was by far and away the best we have ever used. Everything they did was excellent. The food was incredible, the service top notch, and their staff and guides were warm, fun, and very attentive. Don’t hesitate to book with this company!

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.

“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!”

We have just returned home from a wonderful trip on the Salmon River…We have been on more than a dozen professionally guided river rafting and kayaking trips.. (and) our recently completed trip with Hughes River Expeditions stands out as one of the finest adventures we have experienced… The crew’s team work and seamless sharing of the endless duties and chores was so efficient that it made the hard work appear easy and even fun. It certainly met and exceeded all our expectations…. Please pass our appreciation and thankfulness on to each of the crew members.

Sandy and I want you to know that we had a wonderful time floating the Salmon River Canyon recently. ….(O)ur guides played a huge role in making our experience one to remember. They were professional, friendly, highly-skilled, and fit into our group as if they were close friends. …It seemed like everyone on our float trip was hand-picked. You can be certain we will replay this experience many times and share it with others.

Sure was great to meet everyone. Zoe and I felt very fortunate to be with such wonderful group of people rafting through paradise.

Thank you for the incredible experience you provided Stoltz on the river. We were impressed with your impeccable service, capable (and FUN) guides, beautiful meals, and spectacular camps. We are still reminiscing….. Stoltz is forever grateful for the amazing trip and hope to do more with Hughes in the coming years!!

Just a brief note to let you know how much Leon and I enjoyed our river trips on the Hells Canyon of the Snake River and the Grande Ronde River last week. We both felt that the trips were superb – from the whitewater, to the weather, to the food, to the great company. We are looking forward to see you on the Salmon River Canyon in August.
