We saw mountain goats and 2 bald eagle. Loved the history of Sheep Canyon and Kirkwood Ranch. Lunch was so yummy and such a scenic view Give yourself plenty of time to get there as it is quite remote and does take awhile to make the drive. Definitely do this if you can !

My husband and I just moved to Oregon, not quite a month ago. My best friend, Charity, came out…read morefrom Kansas City, and wanted to do something that she cant do back in Missouri. So, she was surfing the web and came across this. I am so glad she did! It took almost 3 hours to get there, but the scenery from Vale to the dam was well worth it. At first, I didn't want to spend that much money for a boat ride...but, I now think it is worth every penny and more! I had such a great time. Dusty was our guide (what do you call them? Are they Captains?) He was not only a great guide, he just seems like a great person. He was nice, polite, and did one hell of a job on the river! I have great memories with my bestie, and some really great pictures also. We didn't see any exciting animals, but that's ok. Still a great trip! I will go to Yellowstone for wild bears! :)

We did a 2 day trip on the Salmon river and it was a bucket list adventure for sure! The rafting…read morewas incredible and the guides, Beckham, Maddie, and Jayda were so friendly and worked so hard to make sure we had the best experience. The guides set up camp, prepare great meals, and make sure you have everything you need. MRO had great communication from booking up to the trip. We highly recommend this trip. It was above and beyond our expectations and will be a vacation we will never forget!

I took the 4 day 3 night trip down from Wallowa (town) on the Wallowa river to the confluence where…read moreit becomes the Grande Ronde river (the rivers connect at the Minam store). A friend and I went by van ride up to the launch in Wallowa and went forward into the wilderness of the Blue mountains. This is geologically beautiful country with magical rock formations thronged by big horn sheep - we saw a group of 20 that entertained us across the river at camp. The fishing was fantastic. Half of the fish were around 14 inches up to right around 20 inches. These are highly capable broad-shouldered fish. Captain Grant, Captain Bobby, and First Mate Callen capably led our expedition. The well-trained and yet affectionate dogs put a cherry on top. Highly recommended. I effing love Oregon. They have a rail ride too.

I first want to say a big thank you to Tanner, Jerry and Madeline for such a great experience!…read moreTanner was so knowledgeable in so many diverse subjects! Jerry and Madeline worked so hard to make sure all of the guests on the trip were well taken care of. This was a 3 day two night food and wine trip and Chad from Dusted Valley Winery made sure to keep our cups full and was very informative about his winery. I felt so relaxed and pampered and it was just what I was looking for. As for the food, it was fantastic! From scratch made s'mores and hors d'oeuvres to black cod and steak it was so delicious! Thanks again for such a great time. I am looking forward to a trip next year to the Hell's Canyon and hopefully with this same crew.

We had THE BEST trip down Hells Canyon with the Winding Waters crew. Super competent guides who…read morewere so friendly and very knowledgeable about the natural and human history of the canyon. They are dialed and it shows! Great mix of options with something for everyone. We did a combination of relaxing on the beaches, swimming, fishing, and hiking. During the day, some of us stayed in the rafts with the guides and others ventured out in inflatable kayaks. This was a first whitewater experience for some of our group and they felt very safe and gained a ton of skills! The food was excellent too -- how often does someone cook you salmon and pineapple upside down cake while you sit in the river?! 10/10 would recommend.

We were a bunch of adult friends, but I'd recommend the trip equally to families of all ages, especially with kids. Robin the owner of the business is highly professional, passionate about the water and land, and very customer-oriented. Our guides Ukiah, Silas and Schy were exceptional pilots, naturalists, and cooks, as well as great listeners. We all ate and drank and slept incredibly well, sharing a wilderness experience that we'll remember fondly for many years to come.

The journey with the team at America's Rafting Company through Hells Canyon is that once in a…read morelifetime kind of mind-expanding, life altering experience you've been searching for. I took my 14 year old son Isky on this trip and I knew it was going to be special, but I never anticipated anything this sublime. You are being guided through true wilderness in the high desert. Glorious dry sunshine along a pristine river, chock full of excellent, thrilling rapids, surrounded by mountains, fresh air and that occasional wild life spotting (in our case, a bear, 2 bald eagles, mountain goats, one small bobcat, and countless fish). Jarrett has assembled an A-team of guides that go above and beyond with smart, responsible mentorship, showing you the ropes, educating you with stories of the land (geography and history) and they are very interesting too. Mike is a super star, ex-navy pilot with an infectious energy and smile; Ty is a smart, super friendly Mechanical Engineering student from Arkansas, Rylee is a wildlife and animal wrangling expert who can catch and clean a fish faster than anyone, Leia rounds out the group making the everyone in the group feel taken care of and is always there to help you whether your gearing up, hungry, or just have a question about anything. Shout out to Loren (Jarrod's wife and partner) for preparing a virtual gourmet feast every day. There are no words to describe just how much effort and artistry goes into to the food prep. You will eat well and trust me that there is PLENTY of food, you won't be hungry. The stars on this experience are old world. You will never see space like you do on this journey. This is a 6 stars out of 5 experience. Do it now before corporate America takes over and spoils this untouched wilderness. It will change your life.

We've done two half-day trips with H2O over the past two summers -- the first in June of 2018 and…read morethe second just yesterday. Found the company through Groupon, and had a great time the first time so we came back with a group of five adults and five kids. Catfish was the guide both years for the "grown up's" raft, and Taylor was the guide for the kids. Our guides were great -- Catfish took us through the most exciting parts of the rapids, and was very knowledgeable about the river. Taylor was careful with the kids (didn't take them through the most hairy water) and was very nice, letting the kids take turns controlling the raft during calm spots. The water was a lot better in July than in June, and the half day trip took a little less than three hours. The rapids were fantastic -- some of the best we've encountered in Idaho. The guides had dry bags for our phones and keys, and coolers with drinks. We'll use H20 again and will try to book a whole-day trip next time. A great experience with great guides.

They were able to squeeze us in last min for a half day white water rafting trip. Everyone who works there was super friendly and went out of their way to introduce themselves to us. After a short ride on the "cool bus" and and a little safety talk, we were on our way. Our guide Chris was super cool and knowledgeable about the area. In between rapids and one liner dad jokes he told us about the different cliffs and other stuff on the river. Overall it was an amazing day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend this place for all your salmon river needs!!
