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!”

  • Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

    "I think you guys really go the extra mile. Was very impressed and would definitely book with Momentum again in future"

  • Rogue 3-Day Lodge Trips

    "They really took care of us and we felt confident of their abilities on and off the water. The fact that our river guides were our chefs as well was amazing...they did a great job on all the snacks, meals, and plenty of local wine!"

  • Tatshenshini River Rafting

    "You guys are the best! I really appreciated how completely competent all the guides were--Always putting safety first, but not making clients fearful. Just always watching out. All very experienced guides! Always polite and friendly, even with each other! And then the food was over the top! Then, how does one describe the Tat? --Beyond words!"

  • Rogue River Rafting

    "I could not imagine three more wonderful or qualified people managing our trip. They all had a clear passion for the outdoors that was infectious, and their knowledge never ceased to amaze. Shana was in my boat and was our trip leader, and she was an excellent teacher, positive, knowledgeable, and willing to allow people to safely try new experiences. She was so positive and encouraging and it brought out the best in our boat."

  • Tatshenshini River Rafting

    "I have never slept better. Equipment was great. All the equipment was fantastic. I appreciate the river gear provided for us."

  • Tatshenshini River Rafting

    "Keep doing what you're doing! Y'all were fun and very professional. Next to the scenery getting to hang with y'all, you were the best part of the trip!"

  • Lower Klamath River Rafting

    "The guides were really good with our grandkids! The kids all learned to kayak and loved some of the fun activities with the guides."

  • Rogue River Trail Hiking

    "Honestly it was a perfect trip for us. My husband got to do tons of hiking, taking lots of flower pics. I was able to hike some, then raft some! So fun."

  • Clear Creek Kayaking Safari

    "I had a great time, hands down, and would recommend Momentum and this trip to others. Clear Creek is a Gem! I enjoyed it particularly spending three days outdoors and yet feeling like we had a "kushy" camp and food experience... with wine! "

  • Rogue River Trail Hiking

    "Really enjoyed hiking at my own pace and still not feeling rushed! Awesome experience that I will strongly recommend! Thank-you to all!"

  • Illinois River Rafting

    "I have been on numerous guided trips through the years. Your team of guides were the absolute best. Total attention to safety and top pros. We laughed our way through the trip. Just awesome!"

  • Lower Owyhee

    "Have already recommended MRE to friends. This trip was definitely my best guided river experience ever -- thanks so much for everything!"

  • Rogue River Trail Hiking

    "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."

  • Rogue River Trail Hiking

    "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."

  • Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

    "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!"

  • Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

    "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!"

  • Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

    "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) "

  • Idaho Salmon - Rafting the River of No Return

    "I can't thank this crew enough! Not only did they make everyone feel welcome but they made a point to engage us all and get to know us... This was the best trip I have ever been on and I know my family would love to do this again! Thank you for all of your hard work, preparation, safety and above all else friendliness. We truly felt like we made new friends this trip! (Safari Style Trip)"

  • Lower Owyhee

    "This was our first rafting trip and indeed, our first camping trip in decades. Everything about this trip exceeded our expectations. Arden, Simon, Orea & Belle were absolutely great guides who made sure our experience was equal to the incredible beauty of our surroundings. The food was great and the comraderie on the river and in camp was exceptional. We are already planning our next trips with Momentum."

  • California Salmon Rafting Safari

    "Just a wonderful company – Anthony, you rock! – Third trip to do the Cal-Salmon and Scott River. Felt like coming home to old friends. Anthony, as always, you make the rest of us geeks feel like we could navigate any river with you. Your commitment to our safety, plus your commitment to this area, the environment, and the people here, especially the natives, along with the rest of your awesome crew, Mike, Orea, and Faye (thank goodness for driving those roads LOL), always make this a special time."
