Rogue River Rafting Testimonials

  • "You all truly went above and beyond. I was blown away by the accommodations, the quality of food, the amount of provisions provided, and the attention to every little detail (air freshener at the Groover??? Amazing.). Plus I always felt incredibly safe and comfortable with your guides and trusted them implicitly. I would highly recommend Momentum to anyone who wants to rough it without "roughing it"!"
  • "These are the nicest, most accommodating, most patient people I may have ever met - with a great sense of humor. It was an honor to get to know them even a little"
  • "Momentum is now our group's favorite outfitter. In 50 years of going on trips with other companies, this was the best team of guides I have ever seen."
  • "This was an experience I will never forget! Every single detail was dialed in missing nothing. You can't improve on this!"
  • "Probably the top travel experience of my life! I described it to people as the Ritz of camping."
  • "We’re all still smiling from our trip. Usually, on returning home, the tyranny of the urgent takes over and makes the trip seem like longer ago than it was, not this one. There were simply too many experiences, laughs, thrills, and present moments for it to fade quickly."
  • "The camping was significantly nicer than some hotels we have been to! The level of attention to detail was crazy. 10/10!"
  • "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."
  • "Our group of 4 went with Erik and Beth down the Rogue River for 3 days. It was a combo white water raft/kayak trip. The guides were excellent, the food and accommodations were superb, and the trip was one of the best I have ever been on. I have booked trips in Africa, Argentina, New Zealand, and many other locales. Momentum is by far has the best guides and service. The Rogue River trip is great for families, friends, and people of all ages. I highly recommend this adventure!"
  • "There are a ton of companies offering river trips in Oregon, and it can be easy to become overwhelmed by promises, prices and hype. Look no further, we’ve done the research, we’ve gone on two Momentum trips in the past few years and this is hands’ down the best. I am not paid by Momentum! I’m just a middle-aged LA working mom who loves to travel and eat! My vacations need to be good, and this one was right at the top of the list."
  • "“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."
  • "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!"
  • "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!"
  • "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)"
  • "Incredible trip and such a blast. Will remember this forever and really appreciate the whole Momentum team for making my bachelor party such a great experience. Makes me want to get back out there for another river with angrier rapids because the guides were almost too good at their job!!"
  • "When I did a trip last year, I just thought I lucked out with an amazing crew. But you’ve done it again! I admire what (Momentum) is doing to hire and retain such incredible folks."
  • "The guides are the face of your company, and you guys do an excellent job of having personable guides that really make the trip exceptional. Thanks to you and everyone at Momentum for making our second trip with you guys another unbelievable one! We look forward to doing another with you guys in the future."
  • "Very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge each team member brought. We loved it! Will definitely recommend to friends and family (and) we will be back!"
  • "We felt safe at all times and had so much fun. We were nervous about the class 4 rapids before we left. By the time we reached them, we were excited to get class 4’s. I’ll definitely be back on the river for another trip, and I’ll call Momentum for that one too. Thank you."
  • "I love my MRE guides -- they are unquestionably the best people to be on the river with! This was our second year to raft with you all. Thanks again for making this an annual family tradition!"
