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!”

  • Lower Owyhee

    "We quickly started joking about how there was nothing to criticize. What is there to say?"

  • Middle Owyhee

    "Our four guides were incredible! Their deep experience and skill working together and individually really shined. And they were relentlessly positive, cheerful, and helpful. I can't say enough good things about them."

  • Rafting In Chile

    "This was the ultimate glamping experience! The camp was made even more luxurious by the exceptional hospitality of all the employees. The rapids were terrifying, but I'm glad I did them to know I could go out of my comfort zone and still survive! The food was delicious and healthy, the wood-fired sauna and hot tubs delicious and soothing, and the sound of the river while I drifted off to sleep, transportive. The trip including the horse riding excursion, and the inflatable kayak adventure on the Rio Azul far exceeded my expectations in every way."

  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Every other trip is going to be a let down for me after this one. It is now an impossibly high bar for other trips. I really can't think of anything to make it better."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first camping and whitewater trip! Our guides were professional and so much fun! The camp site was so beautiful and well set up with a complete kitchen, beautiful tents and sitting areas. Definitely highly recommended!"

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "As a river guide and travel professional, I have high expectations of the trip. It was my first time on the Kern and was very impressed with the beauty and quality of whitewater. The camp also exceeded my expectations! I'll be back."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "The professionalism was on point at all times, customer service top notch, safety felt like first priority, couldn't say more about the quality of the trip overall."

  • Rogue River Rafting

    "That was the best family vacation our family has ever had. Unanimous agreement. Momentum provided an incredibly authentic, accessible, challenging and meaningful backcountry experience for our family that will have long-term positive impacts."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "At the end of the day, this was an amazing trip and I enjoyed every minute. From the guides to the food and the camp, it was so great. I was honestly bummed when it was over. I didn't want it to end."

  • Tatshenshini River Rafting

    "I cannot imagine a better way to experience Alaska. This river trip was something I really wanted to do ever since I saw a National Geographic special back in the 1990's. For me it exceeded all expectations, and was the highlight of a lifetime!"

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "The trip was everything we could’ve imagined and more. It was amazing! The water was perfect and the weather. The guides made the trip so much more fun as well! This is something I will definitely be planning for our scouting troop again and something I personally will be doing more of as well. Thank you so much for everything."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "The guides made it feel like we were camping with old friends. Momentum had all sorts of alternatives to accommodate my dietary needs & I appreciate this."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "This was a dad and kid trip, with 4 dads and 4 daughters - one of whom uses non-binary pronouns. As confounding as that may be to people our generation, the guides rolled with it right away which showed massive respect and emotional intelligence. That was hugely appreciated. Our guides were excellent - we were all in awe of their hard work and kindness."

  • California Salmon Rafting Safari

    "It really was an awesome trip - having a base camp to come back to- hot showers, a place to hang up wet gear, a hot sauna to sweat then run and cold plunge, gourmet meals, amazing guides and staff - you really have done a fantastic job :) My family had such a great time!"

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "This was my first time river rafting and didn't know what to expect. My initial nervousness quickly became exhilaration through the rapids. I felt like we were I'm very good professional hands! I enjoyed every minute. From the guides to the food and the camp, it was so great!"

  • Middle Owyhee

    "I would give this 11 stars out of 10! It's on thing to do all the hard work without complaint and to be pleasant. It's altogether another level to have guides who elicit laughter and good cheer even when the weather gods aren't cooperation."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "I've never experienced anything where I can honestly say that every single touchpoint exceeded our expectations and was a delight. Even as we were being dropped off at the end of our trip, Glen was checking whether we needed advice about to where eat that night! We have just arrived home in England and we are still talking about it ( and how can we possibly do it again ) There was nothing that was too much trouble and the team just worked so hard to make it an unforgettable experience."

  • Kern River Rafting Safari

    "The trip was superb, the guides were superb, the whole experience was wonderful. We are already talking about taking another Momentum trip next season. For me, the only thing weird is that I'm not used to being a guest on camping trips! I'm used to being put to work, so it felt a little strange to be waited upon, have drinks made for me, and otherwise be totally spoiled. The whole operation seemed like a well-oiled machine, however. And it was an absolute joy to be a part of it. Thank you for such a brilliant time."

  • Rogue River Trail Hiking

    "It was a highlight of my LIFE! The scenery and serenity of the wilderness is a life-changing memory. The guides were interactive, fun, and sincerely cared about us and worked REALLY hard to make the experience the best! Now I want to do more nature adventuring!"

  • Rogue River Trail Hiking

    "It was perfect and one of the best trips I have taken!! I LOVED the flexibility of being able to hike or raft, depending on the weather and how my legs felt, and without having my choice infringe on the experience of the others in the group! That made the trip incredibly comfortable and gave everyone the best experience!"
