Rogue River Rafting Testimonials

  • "It was pretty epic and met all expectations and that's why we keep comming back!!"
  • "It was basically a perfect trip for us!"
  • "It was perfect. As a Fishing Guide myself and dealing with the public, these guys were terrific!"
  • "I loved the river, and I would definitely book a trip with Momentum again. I felt very supported in one of my goals to get better at larger rapids in the ducky (inflatable kayak)"
  • "Excellent! ***** We signed up for a 3 night / 4 days guided trip down the Rogue River with 3 other families. Everything top to bottom was wonderful, the river, the guides, the campsites, the food. We would highly recommend Momentum - they kept us safe, showed a tremendous spirit of adventure and knowledge of their craft. Truly memorable, very relaxing and worth every penny :)"
  • "We went on this trip July 12-15, 2020, after having done my first trip with Momentum in August 2019, on the Idaho Salmon. This trip was was everything I expected from Momentum. The guides (Shana and Alyssa on the rafts and Glen on the gear raft) were amazing: competent, fun, worked hard every day to ensure a fantastic trip for us. The food was fantastic for normal circumstances, let alone considering it was made by the guides. The river itself is beautiful, good mix of rapids and calm. There was really only one set of rapids that we had to hike around while the guides took the rafts through, then another set of rapids where everyone had to be on the rafts and not in any kayaks. Otherwise, we were in the kayaks most of the time. Got dumped in rapids a few times (from the kayaks, not from the rafts), but I've learned to expect that on these trips and nothing felt scary. Overall, just a rad trip from start to finish!. I plan on doing more trips with Momentum, for certain. But, no matter what river, where, and when you're interested, you absolutely can't go wrong with Momentum."
  • "9 Girls celebrating turning 60! What an amazing adventure Momentum River Expeditions prepared for us! Our guides, Orea, Trica, Glen and Mark were exceptional and kept us safe and “Hydrated “the entire time on the river! The food they prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing! Orea and Trica’s skill and knowledge of the river, made the category 4 rapids a piece of cake for us beginners! I highly recommend this company and look forward to our next adventure with them! Thanks again"
  • "Absolutely wonderful trip, could not have asked for a better way to get off the grid and relax during this pandemic! Momentum did an amazing job not just with organizing and keeping things clean, but the leadership was stellar! Shana was an amazing trip leader, exuding confidence, patience, and cheerfulness every step of the way. The rest of the crew was incredible and I wish the trip had not ended so soon. I guess that would be my only complaint--it was too short! Next summer I think I’m going to head back to the Main Salmon for the second time with Momentum, and also try to do the Upper Klamath with them as well! And thanks to the crew for letting some of us do some alternate activities on this trip, such as trail running and hiking! Was phenomenal!"
  • "We did the 3-day Rogue River Lodge to Lodge trip. This is river rafting at its best (great water and glamping). We've done several trips with Momentum and all of their trips have consistently been first class. We had a couple of friends who were somewhat reluctant (had never been rafting) who went with us. They had a blast and are now considering doing the Lower Owyhee with us next spring (we've already booked our trip)."
  • "We did a private 4 day, 3 night rafting trip with Momentum on the Wild and Scenic Rogue with 3 families- kids ranging from 11-13. It was THE BEST in every way! The guides were knowledgeable, fun, attentive, hard working and amazing chefs. The equipment and organization was all perfect. The kids had an incredible time kayaking, swimming, jumping off rocks and hanging out in camp. The food was beyond expectation- every meal was creative, healthy and delicious. I highly recommend this trip for families looking for some fun and adventure!"
  • "Brandie and I had so much fun doing this raft trip. We sang and talked in movie quotes for three days and our guide Mike just chimed right in...we loved him. All three guides..Alyssa, Mike, and Mac-daddy (Michael) made this trip one we will never forget. Thanks so much guys! So ask for them when you are planning...."
  • "Orea, We really had a very special time, made all the more special by your expertise and patience. You were fab and made the trip just brilliant for each and every one of us. Please do keep in touch and let us know if you plan a trip to Ireland at any stage as we would love to repay your hospitality. Please pass on our thanks again to Tyler and Courtney. We thought we spotted Tyler in Gold Beach and chased this man in a van but to our great disappointment, it wasn’t him. The man must have been terrified at 4 mad irish flagging him down in a car park!!"
  • "Our guides, Mark, Lorenzo, Diego, and Eric made this experience possible…. We basically entrusted the safety of our children’s lives to these guys. Looking back on it, I cannot think of anyone else I would trust more under those circumstances. These guys were consummate professionals, who were focused 24-7 and had a mastery over their craft. Third, food never tasted better than after breathing in all that fresh air and taking in the natural energy exuding from the mountains, trees, and river. Our guides prepared the best meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every meal was a 10 out of 10, hands down. One of the desserts was maybe the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life (i.e. the “Banana Foster”)."
  • "My partner and I were used to doing DIY adventure trips so it was such a treat to be looked after by Momentum - with knowledgeable guides, delicious fresh food and lots of time on the river, we are definitely converts to this kind of trip! The trip was the perfect mixture of wild river, wildlife, wilderness and really comfortable beds in warm cabins at night - brilliant accommodation with nice hot showers! We got plenty of river time and our guide Sol made sure we enjoyed the best rapids and got involved in the inflatable kayak and SUP! The food was excellent, and we loved the nice touch of providing local wines and cheeses. We felt a real connection with the guides, they were so welcoming and interested in our lives, and couldn't do enough to ensure we had an epic time. Can't recommend this trip enough!"
  • "Three or so years ago, I made this same journey with a dozen other folks in heartbreakingly beautiful sunny weather — a wonderful trip. THIS time, I dragged my husband along, and together with just two other fellas and our superb guide Anna, we froze our butts off during a couple days of unseasonable rain. Yet, when I think back, all I can recall was the extraordinary natural beauty of the river, the camaraderie of our fellow paddlers, my admiration for our river guide, the comfort of our accommodations, and how grateful I was that second afternoon when we pulled into Paradise Lodge and got our “Rum and Tea” in the bar. Thank you, Momentum — can’t wait till next time!"
  • "I’ve traveled with Pete on 4 trips, 3 of them covering multiple days. In every case, his professionalism shines and in each case, my experiences have been nothing less than brilliant."
  • "Thanks Andy for a great time! I personally have not rafted so this experience was wonderful. I would do it again! I loved taking in the nature all around us. Looking forward to another LONGER trip."
  • "We are frequent flyers with Momentum. We have followed Pete and his expert crew from the rural Illinois river to the Futaleufu in Chile. This years trip was another amazing experience, The 3 day lodge trip on the Rogue provided abundant wildlife and comfortable beds. If you are looking for a raft company in Oregon or Northern Calif. look no further....go with Momentum."
  • "Robyn, We had a great trip. It was good family time. I must say I have never had such luxurious camping before in my life. You guys did a great job and the food was fabulous. Thanks so much for everything!"
  • "I am holding Momentum Rafting completely responsible for turning my entire family in to a bunch of....White Water Junkies!!!! There are very few times when all of us, with 3 teenagers, are all on the same page and 100% happy and present in an activity. This was one of those times. When our guide Robyn told our 3 kids to sit in the front of the raft and to simply enjoy a fun rapid that was coming up, and then proceeded to plow the raft in to a giant standing wave that completely drenched everyone on board, was one of the great highlights of our trip. The squeals and screams were priceless. All of the guides and the fabulous support crew worked extra hard to christen a new camp site and to make sure that everyone was well taken care of. The food was wonderful and the stories were entertaining. We are already scouting for our next river to conquer!! Thanks Pete!!"
