The guides were all beyond great… everyone went above and beyond to make the trip a memorable one. …I enjoyed Colin’s knowledge of the geology, wild life, land management and Idaho history… Dave, Aaron, Josh, and John’s campfire songs and games could not have been funnier or more entertaining. My kids will remember the trip for that alone! I also really appreciated the wisdom and years of experience of Buzz and Bob…. My 9 year old was beyond thrilled that Buzz let her help make a birthday cake… just one more of many, many wonderful memories of this trip. We hope to be back for another trip…

Client Testimonials

Thank you for a wonderful raft trip! There are so many important ways that you, as individuals and a group made it the best experience anyone could have. Of course, the food, facilities, organization and expertise were impressive. What really made it a special trip was you people personally. Each one of you work so hard and cheerfully, clearly like and enjoy one another, and freely give of yourselves in thoughtful ways… you can bet I’ll recommend you highly to anyone considering a raft trip.
J. Elder, Olympia, WA (2005)
Such a rare and unique opportunity to get away from city life and experience river time…. I enjoyed every moment, going between boats, great food, kids being kids, and good company. No one could have justly described the experience until I tasted it myself…. I am already thinking of my core friends who need to experience this and with whom, I shall travel with next year down the Snake. Perhaps a JAZZ trip also in a couple of years…

Thank you for a wonderful raft trip on the Wallowa-Grande Ronde last June. We all had a great time and look forward to doing it again.

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.

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

We just got back from our Middle Fork trip with Hughes….  It simply could not have been better.
Beckley, Eugene, OR (2021)
“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)
I am still having dreams of rapids, cutthroat, and beautiful scenery. Many thanks again to your crew for the best trip of my life…. We WILL be back!
