The most adventure I've experienced in a long time. I should have made the trip sooner. I'm 66 years old and I might be - This trip was a bucket list item for years and I finally made it happen with my husband for our 39 year anniversary. What w great adventure we had. You just gotta book it. The guides, the food, the campsites, the river rafting, the starry night, the pitch dark night, the gruver, all of it gets a 5 star rating. Ask for Jenna, Noah, Tyler and Nick! What a guide team. 4 days, 3 nights was just right for me.p

Amazing trip 😃 - Very well organized. Our guide Chris is exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about the area geology. He prepped a very healthy lunch. He went straight to the rapids and exceeded our expectations. Will come back in the spring. Overall a great experience. Will recommend this to others.

Main salmon overnight - AJ, Emmy, and Jack took our company down the main salmon for the perfect weekend overnight. The guides were knowledgeable, fun, and i always felt our safety was their top priority. Meals on the trip were top rate and the gear provided was fantastic. Would float with this company again in a heartbeat.

Lovely! - We have gone through this company a dozen or so times. As always we had a lovely time. We had a youngster & our guide (Chuck) was awesome working with him. Chuck was an absolute angel! Thank you guys for always being so good to my family.

Cold and rainy 4th - It rained all day but our guide Jack kept us motivated and we had an awesome trip we got to the end and found out there had been a mudslide and we couldn’t get back to Riggins. They all stayed positive and we made the best of the situation. Great job to them all this was our fifth trip with MRO and all have been amazing

MRO is simply GOOD PEOPLE - MRO has the highest level of integrity. We scheduled our trip far in advance when they had a full boat. Others cancelled and it's probably they lost money on the trip but still went forward with the journey so they wouldn't spoil our plans. I can't say enough how much we appreciate that and how much it shows the true goodness of the owners. They clearly don't do this just for the money! Wonderful trip. Guides were excellent and the food was delicious.

Just go with MRO! - We spent the day rafting with our excellent guides Kate, Charlie and Rio. We were the only passengers and had a wonderful time on the river. There were enough rapids to make it exciting, with float time in between to enjoy the incredible scenery. Kate was very knowledgeable about the area, which made the trip even more interesting. We stopped for lunch and the food was delicious, fresh and abundant! We spoke with the owner of MRO a couple times and met her before we left. She was professional, thoughtful and invested in making sure we had the best time. This is the company to use for rafting in this area!
