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 !

While we were a 3-raft private group with tons of Caldera experience, and not clients, they gave us the Beta on how Caldera and Hells Corner had changed, and a strategy on running them. The Beta on Hells Corner was immensurable as we ran far left, not the standard far right line. Saved us from getting pinned. My point: Congeniality and sportsmanship go a long way. Making friends over the phone / talking about a river run is part of this great sport. So please get out there with Indigo and enjoy their professionalism.

Look to the right for signs and paddle hard to make it in to their dock!…read more This little hidden local secret needs to be shared by all who are rafting the Rogue. A small convenience store with a hot food window is a perfect 1/2 way stopping point while rafting the Rogue River toward Shady Cove. Inside the store it is a bit cluttered and tight, but they've got everything you'll need to replenish and recharge your batteries. We easily found some chocolate and strawberry milks for the kids and some takis and a decent selection of Mikes Hard in the cooler. Hot foods include: hot dogs, corn dogs , veggie burgers, hamburgers and cheeseburgers ($5.50, double cheese burger $6.50). The food is decent with all the fixings available. After paddling, swimming and soaking up the sun, a good burger along with an ice cold beer seems to taste EVEN better than normal. The best part of it all is all the picnic tables along the riverbank to just sit back, chill and enjoy your grub. Oh yeah, don't forget to use they're old school outhouse up the path and to the left of their store before you go! It's a memorable experience! #thegoodlife

Day of we showed up and it's all as their website explains: Paperwork, a cooler, ice, plastic bag and dry bag are provided while they load up your rafts. Bathrooms available. You get your life vest and load up into the waiting van to ride up the river. Your driver unloads your raft, offers tips if you need them (we did!) and sends you in your way. When we reached the end point, we waited for employees to load the rafts and drive us 5 minutes back to our car. There were plenty of guys working and everything was speedy. There rates are fair for a full day of fun. While our raft didn't make use of the squirt guns, others in our party enjoyed the mischief they added to the incredible surroundings. Our party ranged from 4yo to 73. All rapids were pretty tame. I'd definitely do it again and use Raft the Rogue if we do!

I have a group of friends who do hiking trips together every few years, and this year we picked…read moreMorrisons Rogue River hike with support from guides on rafts. Booking the trip was relatively straightforward, but Morrisons highly encouraged us to do trip insurance because they don't offer refunds, which should've been the first red flag. Before I go too far, I do want to give a huge shout out to our guides Drew, Adam, and Johnny. They were amazing, and if I were rating just them, this review would be 5++ stars. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cared about us and our hike. The rest of the Morrison's staff...not so much. There was an active wildfire in the area before we started the hike. We talked to Morrison's several times in the days leading up to the trip (before we flew out) and even asked about rebooking the trip for a different time, when the forest in the area wasn't on fire. We were assured that even though they were planning a few modifications to our itinerary (i.e. at least one day of rafting instead of hiking), they were confident that it would be a wonderful trip. Fast forward to the end of day 2 of our trip...and they had to cancel the rest of the 4-day hike due to safety concerns and, ultimately, a mandatory evacuation. To be clear, I'm not upset that we were pulled out of the woods, as that was an obvious safety decision. I'm mad because we specifically asked about rebooking for different dates and were told no. Morrison's got us back to their main lodge the following morning, at which point they considered themselves done with us. There was no refund, no help finding rooms for the night, and the last lodge we were in literally wouldn't even let us use the bathroom in the hour we were waiting for vans to get us back to safety. Morrison's did at least send us all an official email about the trip cancellation so that we could share that with our travel insurance (if we'd purchased it) to try to get a refund, but that was about it. Morrisons also made the guides tell us, rather than having anyone higher up in the company talk to us. From what we can tell, they also didn't do anything to help their guides (e.g. helping them find lodging) once the trip was canceled. I will also add that I'm vegetarian, and although there was a lot of very tasty vegetarian food available, vegetarian protein was extremely scarce. For dinner the two nights we hiked (~9 mi on day 1 and 15 mi on day 2), there was no source of vegetarian protein for me to eat. (The gluten free and dairy free people fared much better.) It would've been so easy to roast a portobello mushroom the way they roasted salmon, or to do some kind of meat substitute when they did ribs (they did have meat substitute at the lunches, and eggs or veggie patties at breakfast). I had brought some protein powder with me, but not enough to make up for dinners without protein. My friends ended up giving me the protein bars they'd brought for themselves to try to make up for the dinners. To Morrison's: please consider all macronutrients (carbs, fat, AND protein) when planning meals for your guests! Overall, I would absolutely go back to the river with any of the guides, but I'll never use Morrisons again, and I recommend that you don't either.

We arrived to the meeting spot around 10am and got back to the cars around 3:15pm. Reservations were easy to do online, and I received the confirmation email shortly after with details on timing, meeting location, and what to expect for the day. This was the only communication we received, so if you're someone who finds reminder emails helpful, you may not get it with OWA. We were split up between two boats with one additional solo guest. The shuttle ride was quick to Paradise campground, leaving the meeting point around 10:10am. The guides set us up with life jackets and paddles, provide us with instructions for paddling and safety, and after hopping in the boats and doing some practice strokes, we were on our way. The deli-style lunch was set up for us about 2 hours into the trip (12:30pmish). We ate at a campground with bathroom access. The lunch spread consisted of bread, deli meats, cheese, sauces/condiments, melon, veggies, chips, cookies, PB/jelly, sodas - a surprisingly vast assortment and was a treat after a few hours on the water. The entire trip was really fun. We enjoyed chatting with our guides, paddling into the rapids and enjoying the scenery. Our boat hit a rapid "just right" and two members of our raft fell out, but we moved quickly to get them back in the raft and all had a good laugh about the rapid. The only thing I wish is that OWA would offer photos (just cell phone, nothing fancy). As they carry a dry bag and phones, it would have been nice to have a photo of our group that could be emailed/texted after the trip. Or from the staff member who sets up the lunch. We all really enjoyed our day and would definitely be interested to do another trip with OWA. And as the email says, "And remember, a guide can over tip your boat, but you can't over tip your guide."
