Client Testimonials

I can never thank you, Carole, and our wonderful guides, Josh, Tony, Mike, and Ben enough for providing that amazing … lifetime experience. There are no words. You’re our new extended family…. I frequently replay one video on my phone which brings me right back to the calm and peaceful days on the river. What I wouldn’t give to be there right now.

To the amazing team at Hughes! We have such beautiful memories of our wonderful trip with you this past summer. Hope you enjoy these photos. It was truly the trip of a lifetime made even more so by your fantastic team.

Scott and Clare Ochoa, Oakview, CA (2010)

I’m writing to let you know how much I enjoyed my Middle Fork trip last week. It was one of those rare experiences where the reality is better than the expectation… Your gear, food, arrangements, meals, and guides all combined to make it a tremendous wilderness experience… Aside from the natural beauty, the best part of the trip for me was the guide crew, their courtesy, their tremendous river skills, their cooking acumen, and their quiet leadership. Thanks for selecting and supporting suc… Read more

“Boy, we sure had a great time. Can’t wait to do it again.”

L. Larsen, Tacoma, WA (2016)

I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our time on the Salmon with your folks last week. It was a typical Hughes experience and exceeded all expectations. The river, the food, the guides, the camp sites and accommodations, the gear, the extra libations, the fishing, etc. were simply outstanding! We’ve had great guides on other trips, but Travis, Ben, and John raised the standard to a completely different level…Jerry, you should feel great about the customer experience you provide for your gu… Read more

D. Connelly, Fenton, MO (2009)

I’m writing to thank you and your crew for our experience on the Salmon, Middle Fork, August 1-6, of this year. Your crew was beyond merely profession, rather somewhere over in the superb…. Not only the gourmet food… and the stacked Dutch ovens and all so tasty – Wow! I understand why so many among the guests were ‘old timers’ with you on that River….with wonderful memories.

E. Kehret, San Leandro, CA, (2014)

Getting back to reality was hard after such a fantastic trip on the Middle Fork. I couldn’t have been more pleased with our trip. Your organization, the food, the crew… and especially having you there Jerry with your wonderful stories. Your organization is TOP NOTCH, and that beautiful river. I have talked and talked about it. Continued success and we’ll see you again.

K. Schweitzer, Jacksonville, FL (2011)

I lie in bed at night thinking about the Screech Owl talking and the two huge storms with real lightning and thunder that shook my safe tent. I was so excited to see the Black Bear under the tree so relaxed and the great Big Horned Sheep down drinking water out of the river & groups of sheep way up high on the side of the mountain. The one River Otter that smiled at us, then dove under the rocks.

B. Whelan, Palo Alto, CA (1996)

Thank you and your staff for providing a once-in-a-lifetime, wonderful experience for our 12 friends, my husband Andy, and me! All your guides were so pleasant, accommodating, and just down-to-earth, good hearted, fun loving gentlemen. Of course the scenery was breathtaking, but our enjoyment of our surroundings was only made possible by our guides, under whose guidance we were able to sit back and enjoy the ride! We all had so much fun, many laughs, and beautiful memories that will last our lif… Read more

S. Newell, Somerdale, NJ (2013)

What a great pleasure it was to boat the Middle fork with you and your crew. I cannot think of one thing more you could have done to provide better service or make the trip any more enjoyable. I thought I previously had experienced quality service on river trips, but Hughes River Expeditions proved the others to be rank amateurs.
