Hughes River Expeditions

Testimonials

Middle Fork of the Salmon River

Thank you and your staff for providing a once-in-a-lifetime, wonderful experience for our 12 friends, my husband Andy, and me! All your guides were so pleasant, accommodating, and just down-to-earth, good hearted, fun loving gentlemen. Of course the scenery was breathtaking, but our enjoyment of our surroundings was only made possible by our guides, under whose guidance we were able to sit back and enjoy the ride! We all had so much fun, many laughs, and beautiful memories that will last our lifetime!

Still thinking about our wonderful trip with you all…what a gift!

We couldn’t have had a better experience, you have perfected “hospitality” and the food was amazing. We loved our time on the river. It is certainly very beautiful and the fishing incredible. I thin that we are going to find it very difficult to fish on other rivers now… My guess is that we would probably do the same week next year as we felt that the timing couldn’t have been better. Many thanks again to your whole team.

All hands had a great time…. The guides were amazing…. and they are friends for life. We can’t wait to re-schedule another trip! Thanks so much for making it one of the best Family Trips we’ve ever taken EVER.

Rawlin told me just this morning that he’s decided that he wants to go rafting for his birthday next year too. He mentions the trip at least 3 times a week. We loved it!

What a GREAT TRIP! Your crew did a super job of showing us the Middle Fork and all it’s points of interest. Serving us 5 star meals, accommodations and service… The kids all had a great time and I think have a little more appreciation for the beauty we have right here in our back country of Idaho.

The Snake Man, It was unanimous that all had a great time. I think we have passed the torch to the next generation… I spent most of my boat time with Colin aka Snake Jr. There were times when he would say things that would freak me out because he sounded so much like you. I would have to turn around to make sure I wasn’t in a time warp. It was like you were on the oars. Good to see you my friend.

I can’t say enough positive things about our trip and experience (Middle Fork August 1-6), and about the Hughes guides – every one of them. Thank you so much Jerry, and our sincere appreciation and thanks to Colin, Tony, Bob, Josh, David, Marshall, and Mark. It was truly amazing and lifetime memorable for us – no doubt about it! We will be back for sure.

I’m writing to thank you and your crew for our experience on the Salmon, Middle Fork, August 1-6, of this year. Your crew was beyond merely profession, rather somewhere over in the superb…. Not only the gourmet food… and the stacked Dutch ovens and all so tasty – Wow! I understand why so many among the guests were ‘old timers’ with you on that River….with wonderful memories.

E. Kehret, San Leandro, CA, (2014)

Mark and I wanted to thank each of you for an incredible trip this year. As you know, we have done many, many rafting trips and we all agreed that this one was one of the best if not the best we have ever done. The reason that it was so amazing was all of you! Thanks for hanging tough with our unruly group and leading us all on a fun filled and certainly action packed adventure!
