Recent Testimonials

  • "As a past small businessman, I know how important feedback can be. I don’t think you have too many worries. I’ve been doing trips down rivers for the last 40 years, I pre-date self-bailing boats. Your guides are the hardest working guides I have ever been around and they put more effort in than any other group I have been around. " - Matt
  • "There is no way this trip could have been any better and it will be the standard to which all future river trips will be compared. Your guides are true professionals, incredibly hard working, and just plain great people. The meal/camping situation was astoundingly good, especially given the remoteness and duration of the trip. And of course the scenery was mind-blowing, and the itinerary (loved the layover days) allowed for maximum enjoyment. THANK YOU to everyone at Momentum for showing people like me, who could never visit places like this on my own." - James
  • "This was one of the best trips I have ever taken in my life. It exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved how your employees and guides take care of everything and how everything is just so perfectly planned. I love the attention to details. Our guide Mark was phenomenal. He was funny, informative, caring, fun, challenging, and an absolute blast. Although I didn't get to raft with Katy, every time I hung around with her, she was just amazing. I loved every part of this trip. I organized this trip as a guys trip to celebrate my 40th bday and it was absolutely what I was looking for. Thank you for existing. Thank you for your vision. And thank you for helping me have an unforgettable 40th celebration. Best river rafting company in the world! " - Tomas
  • "Momentum Guides & Trips are Amazing – We did a 4 day trip down the Rogue River. The entire adventure was flawless and amazing. The guides are fun smart and provide Ritz Carlton like service in the wilderness– obviously the bathroom situation is a bit tough on us city folk 🙂 You spend each day rafting, kayaking and/or swimming down a very scenic river only to arrive at at a charming campsite. The execution from start to finish is well orchestrated and eases all burdens for the people who have wilderness-deficit."
  • "Flawless! – Couldn’t imagine a better run trip from A-Z. Loved the guides and the vibe surrounding the entire trip. If I’m ever looking to do another trip I will reach out to Momentum to go with them or even for advice on other companies if they don’t run that area…they are just great people."
