Guest Experiences
How do I begin to share my gratitude for such a lovely river experience on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. What an exquisite river. And what wonderful hosts you all were in really helping to make it so memorable. We appreciate all the effort you put in so that we had the time to soak up the beauty and quiet.

“I am so happy to have gotten to spend time with you in your environment. You clearly found your niche those years ago. I/we had a great time. I met some very interesting people and have new friends. River time is curative of almost all ills. It was great for me in many ways. You have a great team. You are turning over the reins to a very competent young man – Colin. I look forward to more river trips with your outfit…”
J. Menzner, Boise, ID (2016)
Thank you… Your guides were among the best I ever witnessed. I told Colin the same and that the Selway is the best river trip in the West. What a canyon and forest.

Jack, Pat, and I are still smiling after a WONDERFUL trip. I’m always sure that I’ll have fun on a river trip but this one exceeded my expectations. … (T)he guides were terrific. … We can’t wait to get out on the water again.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your crew at Hughes River Expeditions for a first-class trip down the Salmon River last week…. (It) left me with a strong desire to trade in the tie and computer for a kayak and oar!

“Thank you so much for a truly spectacular 5 days on the Salmon River. We had high expectations, having heard rave reviews from family and friends, and you exceeded them all! Our trip was a perfect combination of fun, beauty, sunshine, great food, wonderful company, exercise and relaxation. The highlight, of course, was the superb team of Ashley, Buzz, Hardy, Hugh, Mark, Rob, and Tyler. Their expertise, sense of humor and uncanny ability to real everyone’s needs perfectly made for an amazing experience. We look forward to returning next year and will treasure the trip in the meantime!”
A. Davison, New York, NY (2016)
Thanks for another great trip. It’s always great to see you again. The guide lineup was spectacular. I especially enjoyed getting to know Colin a little bit better. What a great guy! I will be in touch sometime in the near future to discuss our next Hughes’ river adventure.

What an outstanding operation! This company’s river guides are the best I’ve come across. My family has rafted the Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, and a host of others with professional guides. Hughes company was by far and away the best we have ever used. Everything they did was excellent. The food was incredible, the service top notch, and their staff and guides were warm, fun, and very attentive. Don’t hesitate to book with this company!
