• Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

  5 "My group of 12 spent 3 days on the Private Upper Klamath Rafting Safari Trip and it was an extraordinary experience. We were guided by James and Richard who were absolutely phenomenal guides and even more enjoyable companions on the trip. It felt like they were part of the group. Pete took care of us at camp making sure everything that was planned was executed to perfection. The three created an unforgettable experience for us and far exceeded all expectations. If you are looking for a stress free no hassle rafting experience, look no further than Momentum." 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Rafting the Rogue River has been a bucket list item for me. So when the opportunity arose to join my daughter, stepdaughter and their husbands for three days on the Rogue, I jumped at it. Literally. Into the raft I went (after donning a lifejacket and becoming oriented, of course). Lynn, Ken and Vickram were our highly professional and very knowledgeable guides. Easy and friendly fellow travelers, they are also skilled guides dedicated to our comfort and safety. They made our three day rafting trip through the canyons of the Rogue a trip of a lifetime. Each of our family members have varying skill levels and experience when it comes to rafting. Lynn, our leader was clear and concise with descriptions and instructions, allowing us to engage the river based on our own ability. She was also quite adept at assessing our personal skill levels and determining what was safe for someone to tackle in an individual kayak… Momentum has gone to great lengths to offer a careful and well thought out experience which makes it easy for guests to simply relax and have a great time. Loved it!" 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "We just returned from a fantastic 2-day adventure on the Upper Klamath. Our guides, Mike and Pete, were warm, fun, knowledgeable, and committed to giving all of us the best experience on this trip from put-in to take out. Their passion for the river was contagious! And the UK Base Camp? Why can’t all our camping trips be like that? The food was fantastic – fresh, local, and above all delicious. We loved every minute and are already looking forward to planning another adventure with Momentum. If we could give this more than 5 stars, we would." 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Just returned from a fantastic rafting trip down the Rogue to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday. We had a group of 10, ranging in age from 11 to 80, and everyone had a blast! Incredible guides provided expert instruction on paddling the rafts and kayaks, they pointed out spots for jumping off rocks, they set up stunning camps, led us on great hikes to waterfalls and provided gourmet meals. Every detail was perfect. They have become part of the family now! Momentum is a first class operation!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Our group has been boating rivers for over 30 years together, all over the US. We know a good outfitter when we get one and Momentum does an excellent job. Our guides were Tyler, Robin and Ken and they did a wonderful job of taking care of our needs. The food they prepared was excellent and they went out of their way to tend to the individual needs of our group of nine. We are no longer young and require more of our guides now than in years previous and they provided excellent support." 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "What the heck are you doing reading this review? Book a trip already! Seriously! We have been on MANY rafting trips, and Momentum River Expeditions went above and beyond our expectations and previous experiences! Our guides Rob, Derik & Jeff absolutely CRUSHED IT!! We brought our nephew along, who is 14, but not entirely comfortable with big adventure. The guides took him under their wing, helping him to try new things, and get a little bit out of his comfort zone, but with absolute safety and without pressure! He was pumped rafting rapids in an inflatable kayak by himself day 3. He had an extraordinary time and left the trip feeling happier and more easy-going than I’ve seen him in years! We booked the 4 Day Rogue River Camping expedition. The scenery was stunning, amazing birds and wildlife, and a precious scenic River to raft on! Our camping sites were totally EPIC. Waterfall stops and miniature day hikes were a welcome change of pace as we rafted down river. Every day we stopped for lunch at some incredibly beautiful location and the guides prepared an awesome array of lunch food! You will never go hungry on this trip! It’s hard to explain the JOY I felt every afternoon when we showed up to camp and it was completely set up! HELLO! They set up your tent for you! We relaxed, played in the river, played music together, wandered through the woods and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Then… guides would get appetizers and wine ready… I feel like I should repeat that 32 times. I could just sit back and relax! Fantastic wine and appetizers led to dinner also expertly prepared and served beautifully. And, I feel like it’s important to point out that I never felt weird that the guys were preparing our camp and food and generally doing everything for us. They were absolutely kind and refused our help in the most caring and polite of ways. They were here for us and it was clear. And emphasis on local and organic food is what originally swayed me to go with momentum. As well as their small group expeditions. Many other rafting businesses that I looked up had upwards of 24 guests on every trip! We would not have enjoyed that. Momentum has small trips with no more than 12 guests, an emphasis on serving local & organic food, expert guides, solid gear and they will provide you with everything you need! " 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "We went on a 4 day trip on the Rogue. The river was beautiful and we had a wonderful time. We have been on several multi-day rafting trips in the past and were very impressed with the quality of these guides. They weren’t just college students guiding in the summer – they were extremely knowledgeable river guides with a great deal of experience guiding on rivers around the world from Patagonia to Africa. They made us all – even the beginning rafter/non-campers in our group feel very comfortable on every bit of the river and especially in the rapids. Additionally, they were absolutely delightful people to spend time with… Diego, Shana, Mark, and Vikram are kind, interesting, fun and all around just lovely and amazing! Great trip!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

  5 "I wanted to say that our trip was amazing. My kids were in awe of our guides – but especially Rick. They pushed themselves and met people and slept under the stars and had the time of their life. We had the oldest and youngest on the trip 10 – 74 and everyone had a blast. Thank you for making a great company and hiring the best guides! You have something really special going. I have been recommending it all day long on my first day back in civilization. " 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Had a blast with our group of 8 ladies! The guides were very organized and knew their stuff!! (Lynn, Vickram, Mike and Sam) I’ve never kayaked on the river before and tried the “ducky” their inflatable kayak. Sooooo much fun!! The scenery was remote and beautiful and the food…omg…the food!! Blown away with the quality and originality. I was expecting typical camping food – hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. The spread these guys made everyday was incredible for camping food! Coconut curry with grilled chicken, quinoa with toasted almonds, fresh fruits and veggies, bananas foster with freshly whipped cream!! It was amazing! Go – you won’t be disappointed!." 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Our guides, Mark, Lorenzo, Diego, and Eric made this experience possible…. We basically entrusted the safety of our children’s lives to these guys. Looking back on it, I cannot think of anyone else I would trust more under those circumstances. These guys were consummate professionals, who were focused 24-7 and had a mastery over their craft. Third, food never tasted better than after breathing in all that fresh air and taking in the natural energy exuding from the mountains, trees, and river. Our guides prepared the best meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every meal was a 10 out of 10, hands down. One of the desserts was maybe the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life (i.e. the “Banana Foster”)." 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Not having wifi or cell phone reception for four days (including the drive in and out) was mentally cleansing, although nerve racking at first. Makes you realize how we are hand-cuffed to these devices in our daily lives (…as I type this Yelp review on my iPhone). Just watching our children filled with sheer unadulterated joy as they jumped into the river or got extremely excited seeing an otter or deer was, alone, worth the trip. Wonderful to see the kids having the time of their lives without a TV or an iPad in front of their faces." 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

  5 "I wanted to let you know directly that we had an amazing trip and were extremely happy with our experience. A big part of that was because of your team. Mark and Jonathan were excellent guides and we felt extremely safe with them. They also happen to be exceptional individuals and it was an absolute pleasure spending time with them… We felt like we were spending time with good friends. We were all sad for the trip to end! I could go on and on with superlatives about your team and the experiences we had. We are hooked and certainly would book a trip again with you all in the future." 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

  5 "Kudos to you for finding the best ever river guides! I was so impressed with each of them and very grateful for them sharing their love of the River with us. I left feeling like I gained a much deeper connection with the wonder and beauty of nature…Your guides bring an openness of themselves to those around them and that is rare in this rushed and hurried world. I wish them all well. They have truly given me and my family a beautiful gift by spending the past long weekend with us. " 1 2 3 4 5

• Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

  5 "Momentum puts together a top notch experience. Our family has traveled the world together and we didn’t want this trip down the Salmon river to end. We are still talking about it around the dinner table. Booking another for 2020 only because 2019 was already booked." 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

  5 "This trip exceeded my expectations many times over and there is not a single thing I would change about it. While going on a “glamping” river rafting trip certainly isn’t inexpensive, it was worth every penny. The experiences gained and memories our families made together on this trip were simply priceless. Safe to say there were 15 very happy customers! I feel very fortunate that I had an opportunity to go on this trip. It was an experience of a life time!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "First and foremost, the trip FAR EXCEEDED our expectations!!! I’ve lived in Oregon for 20 years and have heard about the Rogue but had no idea that such a large expanse of protected river was even there! What a gem, just beyond beautiful and relaxing! We could have turned around and done the entire trip again. Our guides were, Mark Crawford, Elisa, Lorenzo. Everyone of these guides deserves a standing ovation for VERY hard work, attention to detail/safety and above all guest comfort. We were so spoiled by all three that we were actually starting to feel guilty. They waited on us hand and foot! The food was amazing, abundant and way beyond normal camp food (how do you do all that on a river?)…I just can’t thank you enough for creating Momentum and a company culture that far exceeds “going the extra mile." 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "We spent 3 days with the fabulous Momentum crew on the Rogue River in early July. Our guides Shana, Tyler and Rob were all absolute legends. Shana as trip leader was incredible, what a great role model and mentor for my 12yo daughter. I loved that thanks to our guides our trip was very relaxed and had much less testosterone fuelled energy than we saw in some other groups along the way. As promised, the food was AMAZING!! 3 glorious days on the beautiful Rogue River, we wish it was longer. Thank you Shana, Tyler & Rob for a top experience. You made it seem easy, but I know how much work goes into making sure everything runs as smoothly as it did. You guys are the best!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

  5 "3 AMAZING days on the Klamath: Our family of six just spent 3 days/2 nights camping/kayaking/rafting and using a stand up paddle board enjoying the Klamath River. Our guides were excellent, in knowledge, stories told, and as our chefs. They became part of our family. The river was perfect with Eagles and Ospreys soaring above us, almost as if they were following us. The amazing beauty of the mountains covered with pines lay before us as we floated and camped. The food we excellent, we laughed and joked. Our grandson (9 yrs. old) was able to experience kayaking and paddle boarding, memories he will keep forever…..Thank you Momentum." 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "I am a retired river guide so I know how it should be done and momentum is terrific. We took our 8,11+13 year old kids in their first multi-day river trip and they had a blast with the kayaks, paddle board, raft,side hikes and jumping spots. The guides were not only highly skilled but fun and very service oriented. Our family has diverse food needs too. 5 stars all around" 1 2 3 4 5
