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!”

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "GRATITUDE is the first word that comes to mind when I think about our family's rafting trip experience. We have two 14-year-old boys who are usually grumpy and glued to their screens, and Dad who’s overworked and burnt out. It was exactly what our family needed! It was SO NICE to have someone else do the cooking, cleaning, etc. The food was delicious, and the safari tents were clean and super cute, with comfy bed cots. Everything was as nice and clean as a high-end hotel."
  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "This trip exceeded any expectation we had and we are so grateful to have found your company. Wish we knew about it earlier we would have done this twice this summer. Everything was thought of and planned perfectly! It was an unforgettable experience I can’t stop raving about tour guides, staff, experience, campsite , food and professionalism."
  • Lower Klamath River Rafting

    "I cannot think of one single thing that could have been improved! Everything was amazing! Seriously, these guides and this company- TOP NOTCH, 5 STARS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"
  • Snake River - Rafting Hells Canyon

    "Princess treatment isn’t the worst thing to be subjected to! This was my second rafting trip and second trip with Momentum, and I loved this trip. It inspired a desire to spend more time on rivers."
  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "I've been on guided trips with really fancy operators like Butterfield and Robinson and Backroads and your guides are right up there with those trips."
  • Middle Owyhee

    "Some of the most professional people I have ever witnessed in my 58 years."
  • Salt River Rafting

    "As someone who has camped his whole life and guided many trips myself, I know what it takes to pull this off to perfection. I can’t imagine what you could do to improve our experience. It was a first-class operation. Kudos, and more Kudos!"
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "I have been on many guided trips and our three guides would be rated far above the all the others.."
  • Middle Owyhee

    "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. "
  • Tatshenshini River Rafting

    "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."
  • Illinois River Rafting

    "Truly a phenomenal trip. Took us to a place that we could not have likely done on our own. The river was gorgeous and your staff made us feel so spoiled and cared for."
  • Snake River - Rafting Hells Canyon

    "I will be travelling with Momentum as often as I can in the future. This is a first rate company and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This trip changed my perspective on life and my life for the better and it made me realize that I need these outdoor experiences in my life. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart."
  • California Salmon Rafting Safari

    "It far exceeded my expectations, I don't think I can ever take another river trip with another company. You made Zach's 40th celebration absolutely amazing... blew all expectations out of the water. Will definitely return again!"
  • Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

    "We had an amazing trip down the Main Salmon River with Momentum. We had my Dad's 80th birthday on the river, grandkids, aunts, uncles.....ages 14 to 80 and everyone had a BLAST! The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and cooked great meals. Arriving to camp and having everything set up for you was a pleasure. I have been on many a river trip and they say you are pampered....nothing compared to Momentum! Bar and hors d'oeuvres ready for you as you get off the river, the sun sets and you relax while the guides cook 4-star worthy meals. Sam was a great leader and was able to keep the teens having fun every minute of the trip! Lane, Rick, Derek, Sammie (our kayak guide) Shana, Elsa... everyone was great! Planning another trip next summer with Momentum. (Safari-Style)"
  • Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

    "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! "
  • Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

    "You run the best business and hire the best people I have ever been with on the river. Runner up isn’t even close… Great entrepreneurship, customer service, and execution skills are rare, but you have them all going on inside the same shop. (Safari Style Trip)"
  • Lower Klamath River Rafting

    "The Best – Our family has been on two rafting trips with Momentum, the Klamath and the Rogue, and they were really first rate. The guides are very experienced and great company, the food is excellent, and they make sure you have a wonderful ride without compromising safety in any way. They go the extra mile on everything e.g. providing gluten free food for one of our party, sending out a guide early in the morning to get the best camping sites, playing games with the kids in the evenings and so on. An extra notch above any other rafting company we have been with. Highly recommended."
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "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."
  • Tatshenshini River Rafting

    "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."
  • Lower Owyhee

    "A huge Thank You!! We absolutely loved the trip and I can truly say that you guys at Momentum are the best guides and crew I’ve ever worked with. And thanks for letting me row! :)!"
