We had an amazing 3 day lodge to lodge raft trip. Our guides Brent, Carmen and Greg were fantastic. The overnight lodges were comfortable with good dinners and breakfasts, each one offered private rooms with private baths, hot showers. The rafting itself was amazing with a variety of rapids and scenery. We saw a lot of wildlife around the lodges and during rafting. Our guides made great lunches which we devoured at gorgeous locations along the river banks. The front desk staff that helped with our reservations as well as pre and post trip lodge accommodation at Morrions lodge were nice. Shout out to Lisa for everything she did to make our experience memorable. Highly recommend the rafting as well as the morrison lodge. We will be back soon read more

I have a group of friends who do hiking trips together every few years, and this year we picked Morrisons Rogue River hike with support from guides on rafts. Booking the trip was relatively straightforward, but Morrisons highly encouraged us to do trip insurance because they don't offer refunds, which should've been the first red flag. Before I go too far, I do want to give a huge shout out to our guides Drew, Adam, and Johnny. They were amazing, and if I were rating just them, this review would be 5++ stars. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cared about us and our hike. The rest of the Morrison's staff...not so much. There was an active wildfire in the area before we started the hike. We talked to Morrison's several times in the days leading up to the trip (before we flew out) and even asked about rebooking the trip for a different time, when the forest in the area wasn't on fire. We were assured that even though they were planning a few modifications to our itinerary (i.e. at least one day of rafting instead of hiking), they were confident that it would be a wonderful trip. Fast forward to the end of day 2 of our trip...and they had to cancel the rest of the 4-day hike due to safety concerns and, ultimately, a mandatory evacuation. To be clear, I'm not upset that we were pulled out of the woods, as that was an obvious safety decision. I'm mad because we specifically asked about rebooking for different dates and were told no. Morrison's got us back to their main lodge the following morning, at which point they considered themselves done with us. There was no refund, no help finding rooms for the night, and the last lodge we were in literally wouldn't even let us use the bathroom in the hour we were waiting for vans to get us back to safety. Morrison's did at least send us all an official email about the trip cancellation so that we could share that with our travel insurance (if we'd purchased it) to try to get a refund, but that was about it. Morrisons also made the guides tell us, rather than having anyone higher up in the company talk to us. From what we can tell, they also didn't do anything to help their guides (e.g. helping them find lodging) once the trip was canceled. I will also add that I'm vegetarian, and although there was a lot of very tasty vegetarian food available, vegetarian protein was extremely scarce. For dinner the two nights we hiked (~9 mi on day 1 and 15 mi on day 2), there was no source of vegetarian protein for me to eat. (The gluten free and dairy free people fared much better.) It would've been so easy to roast a portobello mushroom the way they roasted salmon, or to do some kind of meat substitute when they did ribs (they did have meat substitute at the lunches, and eggs or veggie patties at breakfast). I had brought some protein powder with me, but not enough to make up for dinners without protein. My friends ended up giving me the protein bars they'd brought for themselves to try to make up for the dinners. To Morrison's: please consider all macronutrients (carbs, fat, AND protein) when planning meals for your guests! Overall, I would absolutely go back to the river with any of the guides, but I'll never use Morrisons again, and I recommend that you don't either. read more

Great time with my family. The guide was excellent and we had a blast. We did the afternoon 1/2 rafting trip and are definitely coming back to make this annual event. Dan was an excellent guide! read more

Just an incredible day. We went on the Rogue for the day with Morrisons and the time could not have been better. Dan...such a good guide. So knowledgable and ready to make the time the best it could be....and such a nice lunch. Just great. read more

Do yourself and family a favor and take one of they're trips. We did the 4 day 3 night and it went too fast. No phones or tv, just back to nature. waking up to the sound of rolling river, fantastic meals prepped for you, have not been this relaxed for a long time. The guides bend over backwards making sure this is a trip you will not forget. Kayaking the rapids was incredible, or just floating the currents in our life jackets. Only hard part is coming back to reality. Definitely great value for the price. read more

We did a three day rafting trip lodge stay and had a wonderful time! The guides were excellent, answered all our questions, and took care of everything. They were knowledgeable about the history of the area, the flora, fauna, ecology, and obviously the River. They showed us great swimming holes and set up wonderful lunches along the river. It was a really fun and memorable trip. Would love to do this again! Shout out to Brent, Greg, Carmen, Adam, and Hugh. I'm not allergic to gingers-haha. Hope to see you all again! read more

My wife and I had a phenomenal 4 day supported hiking / rafting trip along the Rogue with guides Brent and Drew. These guys were incredible - kind, empathetic souls who made the trip a joy while ALSO being great communicators, the best raft captains we saw on the river, and gourmet cooks (the camp dinner they put together was the best meal we had on a trip full of great meals). We did the vast majority of the trip hiking in parallel with the rafts, which ported all our gear except day packs. We were always in touch by radio in case we were to need something. Traveling light like this gave us the freedom to truly enjoy the hike. We had never done a "supported hike" before, and were honestly a little nervous that it was going to feel claustrophobic compared to our typical journeys on our own. However, it was quite the opposite. We never felt rushed or delayed, the whole flow of the trip was very natural and we were glad to be part of the group. The other folks on the trip were wonderful, fun people that truly added to the experience. The scenery along the river was spectacular and ever-changing. The lodging was great, particularly Paradise Lodge, where we stayed the last night. And all a great value for a trip we will never forget. I would highly recommend this trip... in fact, already have to a few family members! read more

We had a wonderful time. It was our first rafting experience, and we were a little anxious, but there was no need to fret. Our guide was experienced and the entire trip was entertaining. It was a great was a perfect way to spend an afternoon with the family and we all agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. Hopefully, we will make it back out there again. read more

Beautiful & remote! Nice to be disconnected from electronics and connected with nature & people. The hiking was beautiful, challenging in a technical way: not a lot of elevation but narrow trail along the cliff, high above the river, rocky terrain, and creek crossings made the adventure an adventure! Having the option to ride in the raft for stretches of the day was nice. Lodges were rustic cool, food good, guides fantastic. read more

Had a fabulous day on the river with my teenaged nephews. We did the full day -- morning is pretty much a drift, nice and cool, enjoy the scenery through basalt formations and forest, and afternoon is hotter, faster, and wetter. Lots of opportunities to kayak solo, swim, or just chill. I don't know when I've ever been so relaxed. The guides are super knowledgeable about local history and kayaking, helpful, and fun. My nephews loved it as well and we'd go again, anytime! read more

The guides!!! They were amazing, while they made it seem like it was an easy job it was anything but! First, they did an excellent job caring for our safety, and the set up everyday was beyond what we do at home. We got to a lunch spot and they'd have chairs set up, a full and plentiful spread with choices for gluten free or even just the more picky eaters. Dinners were delicious and they even had dessert every night. They were clean when preparing food, washing their hands often. Of and the first day, they noticed that we were early risers and offered to have coffee earlier if we wanted. The equipment was good, I can't compare to anything since this was my first rafting experience but there were no issues along the way. The duckies were a kick and Drew was careful to give detailed explanations on maneuvering the rapids (although I didn't follow them well, I was still okay). They also brought a ton of water and kept it cool, we could add Gatorade as we wished. 100% A+ read more

Such a great day in the river with our guide Ryan. So glad we did the full day rafting. It would have been a drag to leave at lunchtime. Our entire family loved the experience. Even the hard to please teenagers were raving about their day on the Rogue. read more

Top notch adventure with the best guides on the river. The professionalism and expertise of our guides as well as their historical knowledge and fun loving sense of humor made our journey fun and interesting. Thank you to Ryan, Mackenzie, Stephanie and Rip for an amazing time!! read more

What a relaxing and beautiful trip! Just took the "all day raft trip". The guides are terrific and the food is fabulous! A definite 5 star! read more

Our trip with Morrison's Rogue River rafting this past July was an amazing experience. Our guides, Brent, Gregg and Karmen were highly skilled professionals who managed a group, that were not always respectful, with kindness, generosity and humor. The wild and scenic part of the Rogue River is beautiful and awe inspiring. The guides were a terrific team who pointed out special views and handled unique experiences with calm grace. This included sightings of three bears, one of whom appeared to be considering joining us for lunch! They also provided food and accommodations that added to the experience. I can report that, if you are able to select the group you are going with, this is an experience that you will remember. read more

Morrisons Rogue Wilderness Adventures - Under the waterfall on the Rogue. - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Merlin, Oregon

This was a first time rafting experience for 3 out of the 4 of us. So, the newbies were both excited and nervous. The Company was responsive, easy to work with, and provides so much detailed information to help you prepare for your adventure. We felt ready to roll! We booked the afternoon half day rafting. It was class 2 and 3. We were served lunch on the patio, given a short but effective course as well as getting fitted for our vests. Our guide, Hailey was also the leader that day, our "mama duck".She was so nice and very experienced. We had a great day on the water. We all felt safe. 3 of us even tried the kayaks. It was an awesome experience and one we plan on repeating. The rapids were perfect for families, newbies and just a scenic and relaxing but fun day on the river. The scenery and wildlife were breathtaking. We highly recommend this company and this adventure. read more

I was on a 3-day lodge rafting trip with my family. It was fantastic! We had Bret as our boat-leader and he prevented any boneyarding or getting sucked off. They say 50% of raft trips are below average and this was certainly not the case. The food, lodging, and company were excellent. Five stars. read more

We did the 40 mile lodge to lodge hike supported by rafts along the Rogue River trail. The experience challenged us and taught us about the beauty and history of the Rogue River Wilderness. We also met some terrific new friends and guides. Hiking distance is about 10 miles a day and you can opt to ride the rafts at anytime during your trip. The lodge food is amazing and accommodations are simple. Can't say enough about guides Joshua Blu, Danielle and Rafa. The guides are ready and willing to assist you and are so well trained and skilled We felt very safe and cared for. I would do it again for sure! Only negative is there is lots of poison oak along the trail to watch for. Morrisons is a well coordinated outfit with friendly well trained staff. Thank you to JB for a fantastic journey! read more

This was fantastic. We took the full day float. Absolutely perfect day. Nice rapids easy 1 and 2 but fun splashes. Todd was a mahhhvelousss guide. Highly recommend!!!! read more

This is the Glamping of River Rafting! We went on a 3-day, 2-night adventure. I can't say enough great things about the staff and the extent which they went to to make our vacation completely awesome! Everything was so well planned and well organization. The meals were filling and nutritious. The equipment (tents, sleeping pads, potty, etc.) was super clean and well maintained. Out crew: Joshua (JB!), Danielle, Drew, Mike, Kevin, Ryan were outstanding. They kept us safe (even when one of our rafts popped on a sharp rock), they provided humor, history of the gorge, set-up and broke-down our camps, cooked and cleaned up for us and all-in-all made it a lifetime bucket list check mark! Of course, the beauty of the Rogue Gorge pretty much speaks for itself. If you are considering rafting on the Rogue, Morrison's is the company to go with. Their many years of experience and professionalism shows in all that they do. read more

Giving Morrisons guided rafting trips, a five star due to our guide been everything that we hoped for. He was kind ,helpful, and made us feel very safe the entire time. By the end of the trip, I felt like he was part of the family. However, I would not have given Morrisons a five star if it was for one of his coworkers which was a guide as well, I believe his name is Donnie possibly Donald light blonde longer hair. He waited for Rip (our guide) to catch up to his boat at one point as we were all relaxing and talking and listening to soft music and once we did catch up, he asked our guide if he knew how to row a boat in front of not only all of us, but his entire boat full of customers as well he went on to demean him in front of everybody. No matter what the situation was he should've showed maturity & professionalism and did it a different way. We didn't appreciate it one bit. Not only did he make us feel uncomfortable. He was rude to our guide and put our guides mind in a different place while rowing our boat, and that was not smart. All in all he just seemed like a bully and nobody appreciated it. But hands-down Rip was the best rafting guide we have ever had and we have lived in Oregon since 1974. read more

FANTASTIC! This is a great group. Safety first and fun second. The guides, (Joshua Blue, Mike, Soren, Kevin) were so skilled at making our trip a memorable experience. They even Cook! The river was wild yet in the capable hands of the guides a peaceful, awe inspiring float. The lodges were on the rustic side but more than adequate for our hiking group. Hiking with all the beautiful wild flowers was a treat. I highly recommend a float down the Rogue with this group. Barb K read more

We did an encore of the lodge to lodge 4 day trip....it is one of the best things you can do. Great trail, great food , and very helpful and warm guides. It is a 40 mile trail, but you can jump in the boats anytime for rapids and scenery. The lodges are also very unique. read more

Fun afternoon white water rafting with our granddaughters on the Rogue River. 9 and 11 year old girls really enjoyed white water and our guide allowed them to jump in a few times where water was calm and glassy... very careful. We even practiced using our safety instructions pulling them back in. We ran several class 2 and one class 3 rapid. Perfect length. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable about that river segment. Only reason this review didn't get a 5 was their kick-off lunch at Morrisons lodge shared with full day rafters was lame. Fatty ham and super dried out bread. My expectations weren't high but some QA on lunch is really needed read more

We rented 1 raft equipped with gear and 1 toilet for our 3 1/2 day raft trip. We set an arrangement time for boat launch and after a 3+ drive arrived 1/2 hour late. Charged $45.00 Discovered we were camping too far from the sitting raft the first night and put us in a predicament of responsibility that was too high risk for theft or damage to raft. Staff during arrangements could've informed us of this problem, as there is a $5,000 damage deposit. We were informed that the scat station was working at the takeout and we were responsible for emptying and returning it clean. At the takeout the machine was not working. Came back to the office at 4:00 to be told that we could drive it to the next site, pay $25.00 and return it the next day. Or, charge us $50.00 to take care of it. Overall- we payed extra $45.00 for late fee, $40.00 for change in boat shuttle, $50.00 in toilet issue. Total cost was a $1,000. 1 boat, 1 toilet. read more

Had a great time!! Micah was super fun and knowledgeable. The 1/2 day pm trip was a little slow compared to what I thought it'd be but that's on me for not doing more research. I'd definitely go back and do the next level up!! The food was yummy and it's a very efficient system they have!! read more

My spouse and I just had our very first rafting trip back in May with Rogue Wilderness. We did the full day trip. We were quite fortunate that, with it being so early in the season, we were the only ones there. We had the guide and raft completely to ourselves. This was an experience we will never forget! Our guide, Gerald, was simply outstanding! He exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be more thankful. He knew all the ropes of rafting and had an incredible amount of knowledge about the river itself including the history as well as the wildlife that calls the river home. He took the time to point things out to us we might have otherwise missed and even had an exceptional sense of humor. He truly made the trip wonderful for us. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a great and memorable experience. We are already excited to do it again and will, without question, ask that Gerald be our guide again! read more

Just returned from an amazing 3 day/ 2 night (camp and lodge)trip. Our leader, Russell as well as the whole crew, were informative, friendly, accommodating and professional.

Was a great day. The lunch was pretty good too. However we were swarmed by bees and couldn't eat much. They were all over the patio and attracted to my sandwich so I had to leave the food there and walk away. But the guide was entertaining and knowledgeable about the area and river. It was a very nice time. We are ready for the 3/4 Rogue trip! read more
