The crew of 5 (Mason, Noelle, Reya, Will and Sako) were amazing and really worked hard with a smile to make sure we were safe and taken care of. Every meal they made was gourmet. Many times I would just stare at the artwork before digging in to eat. The rafting was so fun and I really enjoyed every boat option, especially the ducky. I would recommend a trip on the Rogue River with Northwest Rafting Co. to anyone.

My family booked a 4-day/3-night white water rafting trip on the Rogue River last month in August,…read moreand it was truly unforgettable! The guides were absolutely amazing--so knowledgeable, professional, and fun. (Austin, Will, Josh, Gracie, and Tara) They kept us safe, taught us so much about the river and the area, and made every moment memorable. From the thrilling rapids to the beautiful campsites and delicious meals, everything was handled perfectly. This was the adventure of a lifetime, can't recommend it enough! We are already talking about doing it again next summer. :)

If you ever considered doing a rafting trip. THIS IS IT. Rogue River is picturesque with just…read moreenough flat to make you appreciate the rapids and just enough rapids to make you appreciate the flat, with rapids variable enough to say "yeah, that was a 3-" by the end of the trip like you've been doing this not just three days. The best part of the trip was the crew! The crew - Kate, Nicole, Alec, Rachel, Ryan, Rudy, Cam - were all awesome and worked so very hard to make this trip incredible. As I was grumbling to myself that I had to get up at 7 am to drink my already-prepared coffee (with snacks) while waiting for my gourmet-level breakfast I didn't know was possible while camping - it occurred to me that the crew has already been up, have set up the breakfast snack table, brewed coffee, and are almost done with our breakfast. As I was grumbling about having to set up or put down the tent every day - I realized that the crew loaded and unloaded everything and set up camp and chairs before we even got to the site. They did all this without me noticing because the entire time they were friendly and kind and easy-going. These folks genuinely like being out, working together, on the river, sharing good vibes. If we could somehow bottle the enthusiasm, hard work, positive vibes they posses - all of world's problems would be solved. They set an excellent no non-sense (it *is* rapids and camping), fun, positive, uplifting and encouraging mood every single day. I felt safe under everyone's watchful eye. Everyone communicated clearly about what was expected from the river and from us (I'm an anxious person and this was such a big deal to me). Talking to other folks on this trip for whom this was not their first rafting adventure - apparently, once you go OARS, you don't go back. Seems like that company has figured out a way how to make great crews. Re-entering the real world has been tough. There's been 0 ospreys or bald eagles or turkey vultures (usually there's one or two or three somewhere around you on Rogue) on my morning walk and, dare I say - I miss "THE GROOVER". The most elegant, beautiful bathroom situation I have dealt with while camping. I also brought a semi-surly teenager against his will who, by the end, was begrudgingly "somehow" having a great time. This would absolutely not be possible without Kate, Nicole, Alec, Rachel, Ryan, Rudy, and Cam and the vibes they have set up. If I had all the money in the world, these guys would be flown out to anywhere they wanted to be so I can have rafting adventures with them there.. but for now, I just already want to go back to the Rogue and this time make it through the Coffee Pot without being thoroughly percolated.

Our guides--Peter, Anna, Kristen, and Jonas--were ideal leaders and companions: friendly, skilled, professional, and hard-working. The lodges were a treat, especially at the end of a rainy day, and the food at all of them was excellent. I only wish that the trail-hiking option (hiking along the river trail while the rafts floated) was more clearly explained in WRE's website info, I would have brought hiking boots if I had known about that option.

We did the lodge trip, warm showers, wine, home cooked dinners and breakfast in the morning was perfect. There was also time for hiking, singing and games, totally entertaining.

The brought out inflatable kayaks for either the quiet areas, or if you were brave, some of the smaller rapids. A trip that memories are made of, 2nd trip, hope to do it again!

We literally left the raft at the ramp and walked over and checked out . We booked on a Sunday first raft to go out . While they loaded the van and we signed our papers and paid the fee we found out The owners relocated from Vegas in the 80's to shady cove and we are from Vegas so that was cool and awesome conversation while waiting . They take you about 12 miles up to the fish hatchery which is about 17 miles on the river on the way up the driver gave us some pointers for our rafting down pointed out the store / pit stop (they had ropes tied to the trees) very informative!! Once we were in the water (45 min after booking time ) it took us about 3 hours to complete . The trip down was amazing ! The view was beautiful. Lots of wild life ! We seen a lot of deer along side the river drinking or eating berries, a big bird grab a fish out the river , a few fish jump here and there . The water was refreshing and clear . The flow was good the rapids were perfect nothing to crazy but a few spots get pretty interesting made the trip fun . Definitely will be doing this again next time we visit !
