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!”

  • Upper Klamath Day Trips

    "Thank you for providing the employees of Jacksonville Inn with a wonderful and exciting day on the Upper Klamath River. The skills of the guides made each and every one of us comfortable on the river, and the food was definitely beyond our expectations. All in all, Momentum Expeditions is definitely a first-class operation and we will not hesitate to recommend your service to our guests. "
  • Middle Owyhee

    "Hi, guys. Again, many thanks for fine trip!! Glad you enjoyed the beer. Hope your season is a good one. "
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Did a 3 day rogue trip with my daughter Memorial day weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. She Kayaked most of time and I did part of the time. It's great to have that alternative. I've done two guided fishing trips and one raft trip with a friend down the Rogue and this was the most enjoyable. Tyler was very accommodating. We stayed in lodges which was fantastic. perfect mixture of adventure and comfort."
  • Rogue River Fishing Trips

    "Irv, Dan and Hayden,Our fishing trip down the beautiful Rogue River was awesome. The fishing was great, the food made us all gain a few pounds, and you guys really treated us like kings. Hopefully we can do this again in the near future adn we will surely call the "best team on the river". Thanks for making this the trip of a life time."
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "I sent a long trip report to my extended family. Hope some of them decide to join us next time we go with you guys. We really enjoyed the trip, and I have a sneaky suspicion it will prove to be the highlight of our trip through OR/WA. My 83-year-old mother asked, after reading my report, "Can I go?" And then she supplemented with another email, "I will enjoy the breakfast and lunch parts at least." We appreciated your company and excellent guiding, and especially your alertness when Kelly fell in. Please tell Peter he runs a great operation, and keep it up! We need professionals like you guys to have both the excitement and the safety. "
  • Illinois River Rafting

    "Pete, Yesterday I completed a trip on the Illinois with Arden and Simon as my guides. It was a great four days and they are both extremely competent professionals. I would recommend Momentum without hesitation to my friends. I look forward to my next trip with your company. With best regards, Sam Miller"
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Our family had a great trip down the Rogue with the Momentum group! Our guides, Jane, Willie and Anthony were great. They were so organized and willing to make the most of our 4 day adventure. I cannot believe how capable they are on the river, how much they can pack and how comfortable we all were."
  • Rogue River Trail Running

    "I did the Rogue Running trip, it was amazing!! The guides were great! Helpful, kind, supportive, encouraging and Fun! The food was great too."
  • California Salmon Rafting Safari

    "Hi Anthony, thanks for your e-mail. We are back in Germany since yesterday. Yes! The rest of our holiday was great. But the rafting-trip with the momentum-team and you as our guide was the best we did. I told you that I always felt safe during the trip..and that is the absolute truth. So I have to say: Thank you very much!!! Give my regards to your team All of you take care Charlie "
  • Middle Owyhee

    "You were all great! I couldn't have had a better crew of guides and cooks for my first raft adventure. Thanks so much. "
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "We are frequent flyers with Momentum. We have followed Pete and his expert crew from the rural Illinois river to the Futaleufu in Chile. This years trip was another amazing experience, The 3 day lodge trip on the Rogue provided abundant wildlife and comfortable beds. The canyon was spectacular and the water so clear. I Loved being the captain of my own inflatable kayak. Then on to the thrills of the Upper Klamath. The rapids were long and spanky and our guide Anthony was an expert at finding the perfect lines. We loved it so much we did it again the next day. If you are looking for a raft company in Oregon or Northern Calif. look no further....go with Momentum."
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "My sister and I had such a splendid lodge trip on the Rogue River. It was a special time for us, both in our late sixties, to experience the Wild and Scenic Rogue and be cared for so skillfully, attentively and with so much care by our three guides (Erik, the trip leader,and John and Anthony.) Our complete confidence in them allowed relaxation for us to contemplate and appreciate the beauty all around us each of the three days. I would definitely like to go on another such trip and will enthusiastically tell my friends about Momentum."
  • Rogue River 1/2 Day

    "WHAT A SUPER AWESOMW TIME WE HAD ! The gear, the preinstructions, pick up and delivery of ourselves, food and beverages...yikes what more could we ask for ! The guide was skilled knowledgeable and concerned for everyones fun and safety. Yeah Alan !!"
  • California Salmon Rafting Safari

    "I had an amazing three days on the Cal Salmon and Scott. The service, the food, and the friendships were all wonderful. And the rivers, the rivers were spectacular! I especially loved "airplane" rapid on the Salmon. Thank you so much. "
  • Illinois River Rafting

    "I am really glad you guys got the Illinois permit as that is a perfect fit for your company. I am DEFINITELY going to try to make that trip next year; the Illinois has been on my "must do" list for some time now. And as someone who has rafted on commercial trips all over the western U.S. for over 15 years now, I can say without hesitation that your company is the FINEST outfit I have rafted with. "
  • Lower Owyhee

    "Pete---We can't imagine a more beautiful canyon or four better guides (Mara, Jason, Mike and Paige). We will spread the word. Thanks!"
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Specializing in smaller group trips, Momentum delivers an excellent personalized experience. The guides were all competent, experienced professionals, yet playful and encouraged us all whether novice or experienced, to enjoy the river to the fullest. Jane's knowledge of the river and it's offerings added much enjoyment to the trip. Places to hike, swim, look for salamanders and waterfalls. Also knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife! I have a special interest in flora, especially medicinal herbs and Erin is extremely knowledgable and took the time to point out many new plants. Sam was always joyfully helpful and great fun. Our group had teenagers to seniors and everyone throughly enjoyed the experience. Camping on the river is a special experience. The food is fantastic! And we especially looked forward to the appetizers after getting off the water!"
  • Rogue River Rafting

    "Dear Mara, We all had such a lovely time, for 3 days every minute was wonderful. Thank you for making it so special for all of us."
  • California Salmon Rafting Safari

    "Once again - you guys rock!!! Thanks for a terrific time."
  • Illinois River Rafting

    "Pete, If I had to pick one word to describe our trip down the Illinois River last week (with Mike and Mara), the subject line of this email would be it. I knew going in that it was likely to be a good trip, and that we would have fun. I didn't realize that it would be one of (if not THE) best trip/vacation/experience we've ever had. Mike and Mara were nothing short of phenomenal. They were friendly, great guides (Mara's safety instructions would later come in handy to me when I became a member of the Illinois Swim Team), good cooks and now - counted amongst our friends. Mara went above and beyond to make sure our anniversary was celebrated (seriously - a private romantic dinner for two at the Klondike Creek camp? how awesome is that?!), Mike kept all of our gear dry and intact and both kept us safe and wholly entertained. I can say for certain that Ann and I *WILL* be back to run more rivers with your company - and we really hope to cross paths with Mike and Mara again in the future. Ann actually cried as they drove off after dropping us off. We miss them. (Feel free to share this with them, even if it will inflate Mike's ego ;-) ) On a scale of 1-10 we're rating this a perfect 10. We've never done that before. Thanks again for an amazing run down the gorgeous Illinois - it was one experience I know I won't forget. Oh - and Tell Mike and Mara we miss them!"
