Client Testimonials

“Being in the Jazz Business, I’ve used Johnny Mercer to describe my 6 days with you guys on the Middle Fork (Jazz Trip). “Too Marvelous for Words.”

M. Samball, Boise, ID (2016)

“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)

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)

We really enjoyed our trip this past week on the Middle Fork. My daughter, Barrie (6 years old) had a great time. I don’t think I have ever seen her have as much fun.

B. Wright, Cleveland, MS (2006)

Thank you for another outstanding trip. You guys always go the extra mile to make these trips awesome! Buzz, Aaron, Marshall, Matt, and Colin were fabulous guides (as always)! The company, the food, and the wilderness – you couldn’t ask for anything better! Thank you so very much! I would so much like to be back on the river, listening to the calming (and rushing) water, soaking up the sun and fresh air, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness …with good friends.

M. Proce, Knoxville, MD (2009)

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!

P. Lowe, Ogden, UT (2018)

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)

Let me begin by stating that I never write a review unless someone is incredible! Well, these guys were incredible! I have been on several river trips before and nothing compares to Hughes. I’m serious! They have all new equipment, are incredibly knowledgeable, safe, friendly and really love what they do! We had a lot of small children on the trip and these guys were careful. We did some fun hikes.. Everything was absolutely amazing – especially the food!… Finally, and most importantly, th… Read more

K. Greenwood, Eden, UT (2018)

You guys probably get this kind of mail all the time, but WHAT A GREAT TRIP!!! I particularly appreciate you steering us to the Salmon Canyon, as it was ideal for our group. The whitewater was daunting enough to challenge the boys and provided them with a positive first experience in kayaking. Loved the sand beaches and the great campsites. We thoroughly enjoyed the guides. All of them were cordial, entertaining, and very patient with the younger children. The food was outstanding, but you knew … Read more

J. Points, Tulsa, OK (2000)

I want to thank you for a great time on the river! It was a fantastic experience for me! It turned out to be all that I expected,…and much more!…I am planning on returning next year with my family!… I think the Salmon River Canyon trip, same as we just took with Capital associates, would be perfect for us.
