Testimonials

“What just might be the best commercial rafting company in North America. The trips are spectacular beyond description, the guides are the best of the best, the food is incomparable, and the customers are treated like royalty.”

 

To all our past and present guests – Thank You!  At the end of every year we sift through the emails and the photos from all of you and it never fails to give us goose bumps, it never fails to make us happy (and a little sad), and it never fails to remind us of the power and beauty of our wild places and, even more importantly, of the unique and remarkable people we are lucky enough to spend time with on the river every season.

So, with your continued support, wonderful personalities, and adventurous spirits we will continue to keep and attract the best guides anywhere. We will continue to reshape the way river travel is run and to work towards setting the standard in trip quality and environmental responsibility. And we will continue to run rivers and add adventures that are the best in their class and that are off the beaten path.

To all past and present guests a huge –

“THANK YOU!”

    "Gentlemen, Thank you all for a magical experience! I look forward to receiving photos from my fellow rafters so I can share pictures with my clients. I am waxing eloquent regarding the Momentum Experience and trust you will soon be flooded by eager, future paddlers. I still have afew brochures and cards left but will need more by next week....I could pick them up from the Swirley Girl. I truly had a fabulous time. sincerely, Lezlie Green "
  • Upper Klamath River Rafting Safari

    "We had a great time on the Klamath River with our guides Tyler, Sam and Arden. On the second morning some of us did do the mountain bike ride and kayaking. Both were very enjoyable. The food was excellent and they made the camping easy even for those of us that do not camp. They put a lot of work in to make this trip enjoyable for everyone."

    "Three of us took the Upper Klamath trip in mid-August and had a blast! Momentum staff were very accommodating in terms of fun, fuel (super breakfast and lunch) and fables (between rapids there was time to share stories)! Definitely will do this again. Thanks. "

  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Thank you for the wonderful experience we had rafting and camping on the Rogue in late July. We had never been on an organized rafting trip, and so weren't sure what to expect. We loved the small size of the group; the scenery was magnificent (especially all the little creeks and waterfalls along the way); and it was especially fun to be able to go through some of the rapids in the inflatable kayaks. Our guides Mara and Anthony were simply spectacular. They worked constantly to make everyone feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. We learned a tremendous amount about water safety, rafting techniques, reading the river, and natural history from them, and the food they put together was truly outstanding. We have never eaten so well on a camping trip before. We appreciated the special effort they put in to accommodate vegetarians and other special dietary needs. We are already starting to think about our next rafting trip with Momentum--and hopefully with Mara and Anthony! Thanks again for a great vacation! "

    "Hi Erik, Owen and I had a blast on the river - Owen can't stop talking about it - we are at his sister and brother-in-law's right now and every other conversation brings us back to the rafting experiences. Thanks you so much for being such a terrific guide - we are already talking about coming back next year to do the river again and perhaps taking in a show. Great job!!! "

    "Thank YOU both -- and Pete -- for a fantastic trip. I'm sending a family your way in August... they have a younger daughter, so may need to opt for the Klamath trip, but keep an eye out for the Baldwin family for us :) "

    "We did the 1 day upper Klamath white water tour with Craig and Nick. Craig was our guide and he did a great job! They were right on time to meet us and our day went off without a hitch. We didn't have to do a thing (ok, occasionally we had to paddle) but everything else is taken care of by the guys. Our 2 teenagers had a great time and we were all plenty soaked by the time we were done. The shore lunch was fantastic, lots of fresh veggies, great makings for sandwiches. Lots of winding hills on the way up and back but we got to see a lot of scenery away from Ashland which was fantastic. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone, go and enjoy with confidence!!"

    "Thank you for taking such good care of our group on Wednesday. I hear the trip was a great success and a good time was had by all even with the less than optimal weather. Your care, skill and customer service did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated, I only wish I could have been there to enjoy it! Thank you again and have a great season."

    "Dear Pete, First of all I have to say that the trip we went on was the absolute best guided trip I have ever been on! Every aspect of the situation was perfect and we (and i have talked to every person on the trip) could not agree more about how amazing it truly was. Aside from the stunning beauty of the State of Jefferson (which Erik and Adam so informatively explained was where we were), the organization of the trip and the guides were absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for better people than Erik, Adam and Neil. They were friendly, knowledgeable, AMAZING chefs, nice guys, and truly handled themselves professionally. Even though the rivers weren't exactly co-operating with us, we had the most amazing time. Having done some minor guiding (and I mean Class II-III simple canoe trips on the Potomac river, so not close to the stuff you guys do) I can tell you that the way Erik handled the decision to abort the Scott was completely professional. I can say with confidence that if your guides were jerks or not as friendly and cool as the ones we had, that decision could have easily made the group upset. But, we trusted them and I am sure it was the right choice. Even though we all know we could've done it no problems!!! Just kidding... :) I am not an elegant writer, but if I were, I would put into more beautiful words how much I enjoyed this trip. Personally it was exactly what I needed during a difficult time in my life. I came to Oregon with many heavy thoughts on my mind and left with a feeling of peace and understanding. I know that the mountains, rivers and nature's beauty have always worked wonders for me, but I do not think it would've gone so well if I hadn't had such a worry free experience thanks to you all. I truly hope that I will be able to join another trip with you guys on some of the amazing rivers you frequent. And, I will surely be requesting Erik, Adam and Neil again if it comes together another time. Also, I want to be sure that you received all the money you needed to. I checked my bank statement and I think I only saw one charge on there for me? Please let me know if I owe some more. I think this helps prove how satisfied I am with that trip. How many people would write asking to pay more money after the fact??? Anyways, again, the food, the experience, the people, the place... everything was great. I truly appreciate you all being flexible with the situation, from rivers floods to people backing out. Please extend my deepest gratitude to the guides again for such and awesome trip. I will forever speak highly of your company and promote it the best I can! "
