Another wonderful trip with the Hughes Crew….We’re already planning next year. I have to compliment you on the most amazing group of employees – they are absolutely wonderful… We’ll see you next season.
C. Arledge, Olympia, WA (2015)
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… Read more

I want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your crew at Hughes River Expeditions for a first-class trip down the Salmon River last week…. (It) left me with a strong desire to trade in the tie and computer for a kayak and oar!
R. Sherwood, Portland, OR (1991)
I want to thank you for the trip you put together for our group in July. We had a great time…Ashley, Fred, Ryan, Eric, and Hugh Cooke are all great and took very good care of us. With the four 7-9 year olds, Ashley sort of got turned into a childcare boat and the recreational manager, along with her other responsibilities, and the kids all loved her. Each time we do a rafting trip your people make it a memorable event and please pass along our thanks.
L. Roberts, Boise, ID (2008)
I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that our trip down the Middle Fork was such a very, very special time for us that it will remain in our hearts and minds for years to come. Very seldom does a week go by that we don’t mention something that we did or learned on the river, and as the years turn to decades… I know we will always cherish your companionship.
J. Lehman, Dallas, TX (1986)
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)
“Thank you for your help in making possible the celebration of my 67th birthday on the Salmon River…. I enjoy supporting and booking family run businesses like yours.  From all the information about the trip, to help on gear list and lodging, you have made this planning fun and easy.  You can tell that this is a first rate river expedition.”
S. Husmann, Orange Beach, AL (2016)
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.
T. Allen, Oklahoma City, OK (2006)
You’ve built a great company based on the values of hard work, respecting the environment, and taking good care of people. I had a great time on this trip and appreciate all the effort you’ve put into building Hughes River.
