Reviews
The scenery was stunning! The rapids were gentle enough for us seniors, yet we still got splashed. Our guide, Kruse, was incredibly entertaining. I highly recommend this experience!
We enjoyed a half-day rafting adventure on the Rogue River with Kalen, who provided excellent guidance and instruction. Initially nervous, we were amazed to tackle a Class IV rapid successfully. As a family of five with teens, we bonded and worked together, which was a great experience. Kalen's engaging and entertaining approach made it a lot of fun. This activity is a must while in Southern Oregon.
Kruse was an excellent guide—friendly and very knowledgeable—making us feel completely safe throughout the adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are eager to tackle something more adventurous next time.
This kayaking experience exceeded our expectations. My daughter and I are not very skilled paddlers, but our guide Moira provided an excellent safety briefing, and we had a fantastic time. We did the half-day Hells Gate and strongly recommend them.
Navigating the rapids solo in a kayak was such an incredible experience, made all the better by our fantastic guides, Alex and Jake. I would definitely do this again with them.
This experience was exactly what I was looking for. The river ride was enjoyable, and I appreciated that they kept my car keys safe in the office, so I didn't need to worry about them getting wet. They also offered me a wet suit since I wasn't prepared, and the temperature turned out to be just right.
The staff was friendly and very accommodating, and our guide Tom was exceptional. I will certainly join this team on the river again. We spotted eagles, osprey, herons, and turtles, and enjoyed getting wet on a warm day.
I enjoyed a fantastic morning rafting on the Rouge River. Tom, our guide, was excellent, providing us with many insights about the various rapids and other points of interest along our journey.
This morning's trip down the river was wonderful! Tom was an excellent guide, providing us with essential paddling and safety tips. He also shared interesting information about the region as we paddled along. Drake, who was training, was very friendly as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we were disappointed when it ended.
Despite the wildfire smoke, we had a wonderful experience. Steve was an excellent guide for the four of us who were new to kayaking.
