Had a great morning rafting down the Rouge River. Tom was a great guide. He gave us lots of insights on the different names for the rapids and other things on our route.

Going to go through the rapids in a solo kayak was amazing and fun, especially with our excellent guides, Alex and Jake. Would absolutely do this again with them.

Fantastic white water kayaking adventure

Really beautiful float down the river. Our guide Bill was so friendly and easy going, shared history and stories along the way, brought lots of cold drinks and let us swim as much as we liked. Would love to go again.. Catherine

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Catherine, I am thrilled to hear you enjoyed your day with Billy. He is an outstanding guide and possibly one of the most experienced guides on the river. I hope you enjoy us again, maybe on the Lower Rogue River, Bill’s favorite trip.

Kids friendly and nice rafting experience

I went with my 4 grandkids aged 8-12. They had fun doing the games our guide Hayden taught them like “Ride the Bull.” Riding the rapids was exciting and it was the perfect blend of adventure and Enjoying the beauty.

Anniversary river trip perfect!

Fabulous day

Jim_D, Jul 2021
We had a great time. Our guide Chris was the best. Our only regret is that we should have done the longer trip. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Awesome experience and awesome service

Teresa_C, Apr 2021
The rapids were awesome and very fun .And it was nice to learn all the new information about the trees, plants and animals :like the turkey vulture , even saw a Golden Eagle! They were very flexible, as unfortunately we arrived late and you can tell they love what they do. Thank you Nick for being an amazing guide and Jennie for sending us off! We look forward to seeing u all again😊
