• Upper Klamath Day Trip

  5 "I am a veteran of over 100 whitewater river rafting/kayaking trips world-wide and I must tell you that absolutely the best outfitter I have experienced is Momentum River Expeditions. From the guide (Arden) to the shuttle driver (Alan) to the food (snack before the trip, lunch part-way down the river, snack at the take-out), to the equipment they use to the river rapids (in my view many long Class IV and one Class V- rapids), this trip was awesome! Not only do I wholeheartedly endorse Momentum for the Upper Klamath but I will book them for trips on the Scott and Cal Salmon also. You would be wise to go with this outfitter!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "“Rafting Outfitter of the Year!” My rafting group (actually, a bunch of middle-aged city-slickers who pretend we are younger than we actually are) has been hitting America’s best whitewater for the past 20 years. To celebrate our 20th year, we rafted the Rogue Wild and Scenic River with Momentum. They were fabulous. (And since our motto is “liberty, fraternity, luxury,” we have high standards. We had rafted with Momentum before, so we had high expectations, but they exceeded even those. We opted for the three day guided Rogue trip with one night camping and one night at the rustic Paradise Lodge (which can only be reached by raft or boat). Everything was perfect. The guides were top-notch. The food was wonderful. (They even made pre-dinner cocktails!) Every detail was attended to. And the river, scenery, and stars were awesome. We most definitely would use Momentum again (and again, and again). Pete (the owner) runs a great outfit, and his staff are second to none. (We were guided by Cooper, Andy, and Mike, by the way. All three were fabulous.) If you are out west and looking for an amazing day or days surrounded by some of the country’s best scenery, give Momentum a call." 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "We have just returned from the 4 day River Rogue camping adventure. It exceeded our wildest dreams. We’ve never taken a guided trip like this as a family and it was perfect in every way. The guides (Tyler, Eric and Daniel) were wonderful – you felt like you were in such safe hands as they totally were in control the whole time which meant we could simply relax and have as much fun as possible. I have 9 year old and 14 year old boys and Tyler encouraged them to stretch themselves in the kayaks as far as they could. To see my very small 9 year old bobbing up and down on rapids yet totally loving every second and knowing that Tyler would never let him try anything he couldn’t handle, was wonderful. Both boys, who’d had very limited exposure to kayaking, thrived, grew and relished the experience and grew in confidence. This was the most luxurious camping trip I’ve even been on. It was proper camping – no frills in terms of accommodation – but the food and organization – oh my! I’m a massive foodie and this was incredible. So healthy, so beautifully presented and stylish appetizers, with wine? Incredible. To arrive at camp and have your tent pitched already each night was such a treat. Not having to think about anything, no jobs to do, no arguments about who was washing up…. It was superb. The Rogue scenery was outstanding. So tranquil, so much wildlife to see, so varied. My favorite memory is floating on my back, in the river, for ages, just in awe of the beauty. For a family adventure, we simply could not beat this trip. It will be one of our best vacations ever. Everyone should try a Momentum River Trip once in their life! We however, are already planning our return trip and encouraging as many friends as possible to try it!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "I can’t say enough about how Pete and the team made this experience all about “our” experience, and about “our” adventure. The team couldn’t do enough for us, and did it with great modesty, seemingly vanishing in the background so that the river and our experience would be the main event, not them… I’ve been in the business world a long time, watching people try and fail to develop a service model anywhere close to what the guys pulled off in the wilderness. For me their kindness and caring made the adventure complete and gave me a satisfaction and long lasting impression that I’ll never forget!" 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "The Most Polished Rafting Experience Ever – Momentum mixes outdoor adventuring with glamping to create a truly unforgettable experience. First and foremost they strive to provide a top notch eating experience in the middle of the woods, and they actually deliver on that promise. They also setup and take down camp, thus the ‘glamping’ vibes. And those accommodations are awesome. From there every activity is meticulously organized so that you get the most from each moment on and off the river. (Safari Style)" 1 2 3 4 5

• California Salmon Rafting Safari

  5 "Exceptional guides in a beautiful place – camped at a beautiful and remote spot on the California Salmon River. Our guides had comfortable tents and great home cooked meals for us each day. The guide in our boat had 20 plus years experience guiding around the world and took us down awesome Class 5 rapids with skill and care. She gave us as much excitement as possible while keeping us safe. I could not recommend this outfit more highly." 1 2 3 4 5

• Lower Owyhee

  5 "The Owyhee River in SE Oregon is in a remote area. That said, you are rafting in an area of beautiful mini Grand Canyon formations on day 3 and 4 of a 5 day/4 nite trip. Food and staff are the best I have experienced on 12 other adventure rafting trips… Momentum has my vote…9 out of a 10. Never mind….lets go 10!!”" 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "Went to Southern Oregon for my friend’s bachelor party and did the multi-sport safari with Momentum. The experience is one I’ll never forget and one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. The team is extremely professional, helpful, and fun. The riverside camp is amazing and hard to believe they’re able to bring that level of amenities to the middle of nowhere. Very surprised by the quality of the meals provided, we ate like kings. Would highly suggest to any interested in attending." 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "Epic 3-day Multi-Sport Trip: We did a 3-day rafting, Mtn Biking and Kayaking trip with these guys. It was top-notch glamping. The campsite had way more infrastructure than we expected, even running water + toilets. Guides looked after every ask, beds were super comfy, and the location was insane. Would recommend this to anybody who’s interested." 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "How many times can you truly say an activity/excursion EXCEED your expectations?? Momentum did this in a big way!! Vikram, Shana, and Lorenzo not only gave us exciting floats down Class IV-V rapids, they also blew us away with their service, hospitality and camp cuisine. The camp was amazing, as it is on a secluded stretch of the river. When is the last time you spend two nights and ALL you heard was the river? You were sleeping in a tent but the nights cooled off in July to the point you were looking for that sleeping bag they gave you! Make no mistake, by camp food, I am talking about international food that was eaten by the picky palates of my teens. I am not listing menu as it changes, but you will not be disappointed. Not only was the food good, it was plentiful…omg, we are eating Again??? These guides aren’t just passing through on their way to a different career, these are educated, world-traveled, highly skilled service-minded people who love to share their passion with others! The conversations in the raft and at camp we akin to watching National Geographic. They should be called “chik a fila” rafting because every request & every need was met with my pleasure. I only have ONE REGRET! My family is now ruined for the “average” raft trip…”" - Jon 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Trail Hiking

  5 "We have traveled with many guide companies in the past including Backroads, Country Walkers, REI, Northwest Frontiers Scotland, Mountain Travel Sobek, etc and can honestly say we have never had a guide any better than Andy. He took great care to make everything run smoothly, accommodated us at every turn, and was always cheerful,patient, and friendly (sounds like the Boy Scout Handbook). Above all he is a genuinely nice guy..." - Joel 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "This has to have been the best trip ever! I have been on guided hunting trips, climbs and rafting trips and nothing compares with Momentum. Our guide Tyler was very skilled and instilled confidence in his paddlers. He did not skirt around any white water, we hit it all. And he is an excellent bar tender and cook as well, along with Pete the owner. The camp, the food the equipment and the white water were everything one could hope for. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. Hope to see you soon. -Ron" - Ron Shincke 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "Pete, My husband and I just came back from the Upper Klamath rafting trip that we won in this year’s Willow Wind auction. Wow! What a fabulous trip! We were so impressed with the guides, the food, the camp, the food, the organization and attention to detail, the food, the river itself – oh, and the food! (There was even chocolate birthday cake with strawberries, delectable!). It was all amazing and we both feel so lucky that we got to go. Thanks for making it possible!" - Karen 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Day Trip

  5 "I wanted to take a moment to complement you on your company and crew. I took a quick trip down the Upper Klamath last Friday, July 3rd. I checked out your website which was definitely one of the best outfitter sites I've ever seen. I haven't been out on the water as much as I'd like and jumped at the chance to do so. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Eric was my guide for the day and as I'm sure you know his service is second to none. While I can't speak for the rest of the people that day, I can say that he made the experience that much more enjoyable. His knowledge of the area and his craft was nothing short of amazing. While I was with Eric most of the day, Adam, Jon E, and Derek where also equally as awesome; I had the opportunity to pick all of their brains at one point or another during the day. I grew up on the rivers of Montana and used the opportunity with your world class crew to sharpen my knowledge on the rivers of Oregon. Don't worry, I wont be starting an outfitting business anytime soon, I know I wouldn't be able to compete with the business you've started and fostered into a truly great business that has a solid future no matter the economic outlook. Thank you again for providing such a great service. Here at Nike one of the principles we live by is "There is No Finish Line". I employ you to adopt the same mentality. You have a truly great business and will only benefit to continue building upon it. -ACS " 1 2 3 4 5

• Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

  5 "I've rafted and kayaked rivers throughout the West. Our 6 days with Momentum on the Main Stem of Idaho's Salmon River was a good as it gets. The guides were experienced, hardworking, and attentive. Momentum's policy of hiring only guides with at least 8 years' experience is unusual, and it clearly is working for them." - Jim 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Trail Hiking

  5 "It’s five months after our hike and we still talk about our excellent adventure. Can’t say to many good things about Mark, our trip guide. Mark’s advice and never ending help and service made for a wonderful outing. We had been on the Rogue River several times in kayaks or rafting and were happy to discover the river is even prettier from the trail." - Greg O'Neal 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Trail Hiking

  5 "Mark was our guide for the 4-day Rogue River Trail Hike. Mark is an exceptionally knowledgeable and well travelled guide. He is personable and thoughtful. Even though my wife and I do a lot of travel that includes hiking, due to the pandemic we had not been on a hike for several months. On a couple of the longer days we rode in the raft where other sides of Mark's skills were on display. Because of his photography background he positioned us for some wonderful pictures. The conversations were engaging. He'd visited many places where we have travelled including Morocco. We also discussed his trip to New Zealand another place we are planning to visit. Great food, good service, beautiful scenery, a great time." - Larry Flick 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "I can't begin to say enough great things about this trip and company. From the very patient Caleb in the office who answered all our questions before the trip, to the amazing guides, Trish, Shana and Glen who made this trip an unbelievable experience for me and my family. Their guidance on the river as well as the lovely meals at the camp provided both a fun, adventurous AND relaxing couple of days we all needed. We will be back!" - Julia Michels 1 2 3 4 5

• Upper Klamath Multi-Sport Rafting Safari

  5 "Shana and Trish were SO great together. Their team work was off the charts and gave all of us comfort in knowing that we had the best team of raft guides on the river. And Glen - well, he was also top notch. Customer Service at the highest level. We joked while laying in the hammocks that what they needed at camp was more hammocks, and 3 minutes later Glen comes walking up with another hammock and straps to hang it with. Can's say enough about this team!" - Rick 1 2 3 4 5

• Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

  5 "The team did an amazing job of setting up and breaking down the camp. The meal preparation was beyond awesome under the conditions. I have been to 5-star resorts where the food was not even nearly as good. Every meal was well thought out and paired very well. (Safari Style Trip) " - Norman 1 2 3 4 5
