Testimonials

“What just might be the best commercial rafting company in North America. The trips are spectacular beyond description, the guides are the best of the best, the food is incomparable, and the customers are treated like royalty.”

 

To all our past and present guests – Thank You!  At the end of every year we sift through the emails and the photos from all of you and it never fails to give us goose bumps, it never fails to make us happy (and a little sad), and it never fails to remind us of the power and beauty of our wild places and, even more importantly, of the unique and remarkable people we are lucky enough to spend time with on the river every season.

So, with your continued support, wonderful personalities, and adventurous spirits we will continue to keep and attract the best guides anywhere. We will continue to reshape the way river travel is run and to work towards setting the standard in trip quality and environmental responsibility. And we will continue to run rivers and add adventures that are the best in their class and that are off the beaten path.

To all past and present guests a huge –

“THANK YOU!”

  • Rogue River Rafting

    "We had an EPIC trip rafting down the Rogue!! Our guides Tyler, Cooper and Arden made the trip for myself, my husband and our three boys aged 8,12 and 15 so much fun and far exceeded our expectations. Their confidence level made you feel so safe, they cooked the most amazing food and the views of the Rogue River were so beautiful and spectacular. My husband loved the more thrilling experience of the inflatable kayaking. Our guides also knew the best places for our two youngest boys to try their kayak skills and they only wished they had down it earlier on in the trip. My mother and her husband who traveled with us who are almost seventy years old had a wonderful time. All the wildlife you see is awesome and swimming in the side waterfalls was renewing. If you want a true family experience with you and your family go rafting down the Rogue with Momentum!"
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Tom and I had the trip of a lifetime with Erik and Alan on the Wild and Scenic Rogue July 10 – 12th. We thank you all for the great food, preparations and information that you shared before and during our fabulous trip. We are Momentum fans, forever!"
  • "Best trip ever! We all had an amazing time, it was a beautiful location and a memorable trip. You guys where constantly working, setting up camp, preparing fabulous food and getting us down the river, you made it feel like you really cared and enjoyed the job."
  • "The kids and I had the most amazing time experiencing that beautiful stretch of country with you, Justin and Arden. To say it simply, it was THE BEST! Fond memories were made that will last a lifetime"
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Pete, Just a note regarding the wonderful time we had on the Rogue this week (Wednesday thru yesterday, Saturday 7/11)…of the course the river is the star, BUT the Momentum crew: Simon, Jane, and Anthony, are amazing human beings…competent, strong, patient, diplomatic, interesting…you put good teams together, for sure. They make the trip that much better. Thanks again & we look forward to another remarkable adventure with you guys."
  • "Hi Erik! We really want to thank you, as well as Allen and Arden, for a most enjoyable and fun trip with all the family .. Your enthusiasm and knowledge made all the difference, and our sons are still talking about “the best trip they ever had”, and how glad they are to have had you lead our trip. We all second that!"
  • "Hi Master Guides! We had a wonderful time with you on the river. It was an unforgettable experience and we will be seen on other rivers for sure. Thank you for the wonderful experience it was the highlight of our US trip. Hope to see you again soon."
  • "Many sincere thanks to you from all of us. We had such an amazing time. I so greatly appreciate the care and integrity with which you, Simon and Taylor shepherded us down the river. We always felt safe and inspired. As a parent it was especially rewarding to see the confidence build in Harper and Angus. Were it not for such professional attention they would not have been nearly as bold as they were. Again, thank you so much."
  • "Thanks again to you, Wonder Woman and The Lorax….we couldn’t have hoped for better guides. You’re collective experience, easy-going manner and focus on fun (not to mention great culinary skills) really made the trip a memorable one."
  • "Just so you know, it was an extraordinary trip. Perfect, really, from my and my sons’ point of views. I can’t say enough about Jane, Tyler and Anthony. Professional, competent, funny. I’ll be sure to send the survey, and I put a few things in the mail for Jane to distribute. Really great company you’ve built. This trip was amazing, superb. (Hi Beth!)"
  • Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

    "This got to be one of the best rafting trips in the world for non-professionals like my group. It is absolutely amazing how the crew of Momentum River Expeditions enabled me and my two friends to enjoy the challenging Class IV rapids with ease and comfort. Yes, we all got drenched, and we all fell into the water (during our solo kayaking portion). But at no time did we feel threatened or our safety at risk. This included one of my friends who does not even know how to swim. For two days we rafted, kayaked, hiked and mountain biked. At night, I fell asleep gazing the sierra stars. Momentum ferried our gears, guided our tours and prepared our meals. The low-keyed but ultra-experienced crew treated us like friends. We swapped stories over dinner, and shared drinks over dessert of strawberry chocolate Fondue. What a trip! Thank you, Momentum, for an exhilarating experience that will forever be etched in our memories."
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "We met our 2 adult children in Oregon for a family reunion and spent 4 days rafting the Rogue River with Momentum River Expeditions. What an incredible trip! Our guides were unbelievable—knowledgeable, professional, skilled and so fun to be around. We consider ourselves a little bit “foodies” and were so impressed with the food! They took into account food preferences and every day we were amazed at the choices and how delicious it all was – we felt very spoiled."
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "This is a top-notch rafting company. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Amazing attention to detail, fun but safe, guides are AMAZING. And the food rocks too."
  • Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

    "Pete, Thank you and your group putting on an awesome display of customer service. I have chosen your organization for about 6 years now, and each year gets better. No doubt, I will return for this great adventure in the future. My group of people were extremely impressed and are also very interested at 2 day trip. Definitely will be back and keep the great work. Thank So Much!"
  • Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

    "What could we do to make the trip better? Bring a grand piano? Actually, I can’t imagine what you could improve. "
  • Middle Owyhee

    "Hi Pete- Amy and I are still high from our trip with down the Middle Owyhee! Being from Alaska we were wondering what the wilderness experience would be like and it was blow out magical. The portage was something out of some ultimate challenge obstacle course and you all made it look like you do it every day. I would also like to thank you for your careful approach to safety without compromising any fun or sense of adventure. Cool, calm, man of few words, but just enough, Pete, you could also be a floatplane pilot!"
  • DeRiemer Adventure Kayaking Trips

    "Pete, although I filled out your survey form following our trip, my husband and I want to personally thank you for a great trip. What really made the trip special was lead guide, Andy. He greeted us the moment we stepped out of our car at the put-in and from that point on he provided calm, mature leadership throughout the trip. Andy worked non-stop to make sure the group had everything we needed even when the weather was harsh. You should rest assured that your guests are well taken care of with Andy. We only wish you could do more raft supported kayak trips with your staff and the DeRiemer. And thank you Pete for providing an opportunity for us to explore an absolutely beautiful place in comfort. We appreciate the logistic challenges you face when planning this trip."
  • "Thank YOU! YOU were great, as was the whole team… The cushion surf on the prow of Whistleing Bird (sp?), in combination with the stuffed French toast and the Mole Oatmeal with Chorizo and Poached Eggs, what a combination. You were wonderful. To Lorenzo and his tremendous skill at everything he does, Ben’s amazing attention to detail, and gift for teaching, Keith’s Sherpa kayak skills, combined with his amazing generosity and humanity, and to my man Andy, who set my tent up at every camp, worked every moment of the trip, and solo boated everything to secure our camp each day, thank you all for a great time. I look forward to my next Momentum trip."
  • Middle Owyhee

    "You are welcome and THANK YOU all on behalf of my “crew” for an awesome Owyhee River trip. The food, the guide support, the instruction, and the scenery were truly spectacular and beyond our expectations!!!!! We have enjoyed many paddling trips together over the past 35+ years but this one ranks up there with the best!"
  • "We just had the most wonderful 50th anniversary water trip with our children and grandchildren! However, I wanted to convey my very strong feelings personally to you – and ask that you convey this on to the others. Beth was amazingly quick with help and helpful information, and so very patient with and responsive to a year’s worth of questions and changes. (Gee, guess you are not missed that much at the office!) If you can’t give her a raise, maybe nominate her for sainthood? Andy, Eric and Robyn were just wonderful at all times, and somehow managed to feed (with happy results) 10 people with diet or “picky-picky” issues… I have and will continue to sing your praises, and send friends your way. May your future be only manageable water and easy riding. Thank you."
