Idaho Salmon – Rafting the River of No Return Testimonials

  • "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)"
  • "Pam and I want thank ya’ll again from the bottom of our hearts for such a memorable Salmon River rafting trip. We will remember this forever. Your skill and organization was tops and you were always so ready to engage with all of us even when I suppose you had to be dog tired after a long day. We can’t give enough superlatives to describe our experience. I’ve been thinking all this week of being on the river and I was saying to Pam, ‘just think what we were doing last week at this time on the river. "
  • "Rowen and I had such a super time on the Salmon in July (2-7). All the guides were super at their job and great human beings, too. And the 19 of us as customers meshed really well together. What a unique and life-affirming experience. Thanks for all that you did and do, to make it possible. I can’t even imagine all that happens behind the scenes."
  • "With the privilege of being frequent guests of Momentum and for “lucking out” to have Pete once again on our trip..what could be better, right? Well, let me tell you.. Every year we search for a new river to experience, preferably at high water. This year’s choice for the main fork of the Salmon a “no brainer” for us serious white water enthusiasts. The fun started the morning we met up as a group to transit to a spot closer to put in by small plane with a stunning view of the Idaho Sawtooth mountain wilderness. If one had reservations about being in a small plane, they were quickly replaced by the skill of the pilots and the scenic flight over some gorgeous scenery of the Northwest. We touched down to board a super comfy bus which would transport us to put in. Our elite group of 10 guests settling quickly and getting to know each other as the bus passed at ground level that same scenic beauty we had just viewed from the air. We arrived at put in to meet the rest of our guides who would shepherd us safely over the next 6 days. Here’s the “what could be better” part..Pete has an amazing way about him and inspires equally amazing people to work with him. This year we met guides Jeff, Rebecca and Jane for the first time and with Jenn in “guest helper slot”. Every year we seem to meet someone new and awesome, this year no different 4 new “awesome someone’s”. It’s always a blast for us to be on the river, we know we will have a good time and that our safety will be the crew’s TOP priority. We know that Pete and his crew will cook up some incredible meals and we will NOT be losing weight on the trip the food is all “that good”. What we don’t know is who we will get to meet each year and that’s as much a part of being on the river as anything else. This year’s cozy group of 10 guests and 5 crew was as good as any, ever. We were spoiled beyond words, fed like royalty, had many good laughs and have lifelong stories to recall and relate to those who are listening. There’s just too much to say about such a trip, a group of relative strangers and the unifying focus we love and share for 6 days of the best kind of “time out”. Thank you again Pete and crew for a fabulous trip and for sharing so much of yourselves with all of us. I can’t say enough about the luxury and joy experienced, except that it happens every time we raft with Momentum..this year as well. "
  • "What could we do to make the trip better? Bring a grand piano? Actually, I can’t imagine what you could improve. "
  • "I wanted to say that our trip was amazing. My kids were in awe of our guides – but especially Rick. They pushed themselves and met people and slept under the stars and had the time of their life. We had the oldest and youngest on the trip 10 – 74 and everyone had a blast. Thank you for making a great company and hiring the best guides! You have something really special going. I have been recommending it all day long on my first day back in civilization. "
  • "Momentum puts together a top notch experience. Our family has traveled the world together and we didn’t want this trip down the Salmon river to end. We are still talking about it around the dinner table. Booking another for 2020 only because 2019 was already booked."
  • "Turns out that I really like river life and I love that your guides make me feel safe in an environment that is totally out of my typical comfort zone! Kudos to everyone in your organization!"
  • "Took 5 members of my family on this their first time river trip. They had an almost a life changing experience. Couldn’t believe in how much fun, nature’s beauty and wonderful crew and food."
  • "All the guides were AWESOME! My kids never once complained about food or being hungry. THANK YOU!"
  • "From start to finish I felt taken care of and had the time of my life. It made it so easy just to be present, relax, unconnected from the real world and enjoy the great outdoors."
  • "Best trip of the year for me! Those four guides made the trip amazing. I also learned so much history along the way. The guides are very knowledgeable and passionate which made the experience that much better."
  • "This was the best camping experiences I've ever had, and it wouldn't have been the same without the amazing guides! I wouldn't change a single thing!"
  • "You all accommodated us in the biggest way by setting up the plane to pick us up in the Sunriver airport instead of Boise and that was a huge upgrade for our trip and company. The wealth of knowledge shared from our guides about rafting, the river and surrounding areas was immense but added that little extra to the trip."
  • "It sounds cliche and kind of unbelievable, but I really can't imagine a better trip. The guides were fun, easygoing, and really professional - all while goofing off with us, cooking amazing meals, and avoiding huge rocks in the river. If I could have spared the time, I would have gone right back to the put-in for another round!"
  • "Hands down the best! Quality guides. Good food. Good communication. Just all around professional and competent. Makes for a safe and fun trip."
  • "Rebecca, You were fantastic! We had such a great time! It was thrilling and beautiful and fun! It was very enjoyable talking with you and hearing a bit about your interesting life! Thanks for sharing it with us and for doing such a great job!"
  • "We had the best time ever on the Salmon River with you guys! It was a fantastic experience and we hope to raft with you again next year. Thank you for everything. Mike and Lori "
