The crew of 5 (Mason, Noelle, Reya, Will and Sako) were amazing and really worked hard with a smile to make sure we were safe and taken care of. Every meal they made was gourmet. Many times I would just stare at the artwork before digging in to eat. The rafting was so fun and I really enjoyed every boat option, especially the ducky. I would recommend a trip on the Rogue River with Northwest Rafting Co. to anyone.

13 of us did the Thrill Seeker outing, so rafting in the morning, lunch and kayaking in the…read moreafternoon. This is not a trip for the faint of heart, these are real rapids. That said, I am 72 years old and made it through reasonably unscathed. The rafting trip is pretty easy, though you are expected to paddle. When going through the rapids you have to listen for his commands to bring your paddle in and grab onto the handle for dear life. Careful of sunburn - if you don't slather on the sunscreen you'll get fried. The kayaking is a little more challenging. I almost fell out of the kayak twice, but was able to self-right with my paddle. The youngest in our group was 15 years old, and all the younger kids I saw on the trip handled it with no issues. The kayaks are inflatable with no real keel so they are a bit challenging to steer, so make sure you are up for the challenge before committing. I had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat!!

This trip was incredible! My husband and I took our 11 and 8 year old kiddos and it far exceeded…read moreour expectations. The food was amazing but honestly the most magical part was how the guides truly made this a once in a lifetime experience. Moira, Chase, Mason and Rowan treated us (and our kids) like family and we spent the next 3 days hearing the kids recount their memories with the guides. We went on fun mini hikes and they made us feel safe on the water. Thank you Orange Torpedo and more specifically Moira, Chase, Rowan and Mason for making this such an incredible trip.

We literally left the raft at the ramp and walked over and checked out . We booked on a Sunday first raft to go out . While they loaded the van and we signed our papers and paid the fee we found out The owners relocated from Vegas in the 80's to shady cove and we are from Vegas so that was cool and awesome conversation while waiting . They take you about 12 miles up to the fish hatchery which is about 17 miles on the river on the way up the driver gave us some pointers for our rafting down pointed out the store / pit stop (they had ropes tied to the trees) very informative!! Once we were in the water (45 min after booking time ) it took us about 3 hours to complete . The trip down was amazing ! The view was beautiful. Lots of wild life ! We seen a lot of deer along side the river drinking or eating berries, a big bird grab a fish out the river , a few fish jump here and there . The water was refreshing and clear . The flow was good the rapids were perfect nothing to crazy but a few spots get pretty interesting made the trip fun . Definitely will be doing this again next time we visit !

He gets everything arranged, gets you fitted with the right bike, and sends you out with a guide to get you through the forest on bikes. The guide we had today was Josh and he was very good! ( after biking he added his sweet dog, Annie, to the group for the rafting section!) along our biking he told us some fun facts about the Redwood Trees and some exotic plants! Our biking section of the day was GREAT! It is actually a perfect ride you start on pavement and then you end up on a gravel road with some uphills and some downhill but nothing super steep allowing you to take in the scenery. Can the forest be any more beautiful!! The trees are enormous!! Some have been burned, some struck by lighting, some both!! But they are still standing! After biking we drove to the Smith river where they laid out a great lunch! After lunch we geared up for river rafting down the Smith River, the only un-dammed river in California! It is spectacularly clear! Since we were here in June, the river was not super deep, but we did have some fun rapids and some really nice open spaces that were very mellow, allowing you to take in the scenery! For those more daring there is a stop where you can jump off rocks into the water. The rafting portion lasted about 2 to 3 hours. Our entire day started at 9:30 and we were done around 4 PM. I thought it was a fantastic way to spend the day! I highly recommend them.
