Another great trip with NWRC
★★★★★
“
Another great crew! This is my second trip with this organization and I continue to be impressed by the caliber of the people and the experience. Guides appear to be genuinely interested in their passengers safety and needs. They are patient, creative and responsive. Plus, they are good at their job -- getting a group of strangers down a river safely and with a boat load of memories to bring home.”

The entire group gave great guidance and made me feel safe the entire trip. I had some really bad anxiety going into this trip and at no point did I feel uncomfortable on the water. They all knew the exact locations to go into the rapids and difficult parts. They all were a blast to hang out with at camp and on the river. I was overly impressed with how much of a well oiled machine they were working as a group getting camp set up before we arrived each day and was blown away with the meals that were prepared. This was hands down the best trip I have ever been on. I will highly recommend your rafting company to every person I know that's interested in experiencing what I got to. Thanks again for everything!”

As an avid wilderness traveler who usually plans my own trips, I have pretty high expectations for guided trips, and I was super impressed with the Rogue trip I took with Northwest Rafting Co! Here are the reasons why: Guides: The river guides are simultaneously uber-professional and also super friendly. They really made everyone feel welcome and safe, and I loved watching them educate curious guests about whitewater as well as the surrounding wildlife and environment. If you are someone who likes to get to know your guides and hang out with them (rather than feeling separate from them, like they’re a different group than the guests), I recommend coming on a Northwest trip! Also, their systems for cooking, cleaning, and rigging/de-rigging are flawless. It’s amazing how quickly and efficiently everything happens when the guides are at work. Safety: If you are either a) nervous about whitewater rafting, or b) interested in learning how to kayak, a trip down the Rogue with NW is the way to go—the guides will help you feel confident and informed about what to expect and how to handle it! Many people in our group chose to paddle inflatable kayaks (aka “duckies”) for certain river sections, and the guides were amazing at instructing them where to go, what to avoid, and even gave great tips on technique. Food: The food was incredibly tasty (and I’m a nutritionist, so I don’t get stoked on mediocre food). I actually overheard numerous other guests say they were eating better than they eat at home—tons of fresh fruit and veggies, lots of variety in flavors and types of cuisine, and always generous portions to make sure everyone was nice and full. Gear: Every piece of equipment and gear was top of the line. Even though we were in the middle of the wilderness, it felt like we were boating and camping in luxury. The river itself: The Rogue is rife with wildlife! Black bears, beavers, otters, turtles, ospreys, bald eagles, deer, and more. We saw animals every day (but don’t worry, none of them were threatening our camp or our food)! Overall, my trip was an unforgettable experience and I cannot wait to go back. I’ve heard that Northwest has many repeat customers and now I totally understand why. I will be returning next summer for sure!”
