“The scenery was beautiful and we were able to travel into the backcountry with guides who knew what they were doing. It was nice that everything was planned for us -- where we would camp, what we would eat. The guides were great -- made me laugh and were so helpful. They really work their butts off. You can't beat how beautiful that area is and to camp on that island right under the Tetons was just wonderful. Grassy was my favorite campsite. I also enjoyed the hikes we did. I loved the food and liked that there were always snacks. It was fun eating lunch on our kayaks.”

“We enjoyed the professionalism and fun spirit of the guides... they could not have been better. We will always travel with oars when looking for an adventure vacation, we know we will be well taken care of and our experience will be the best it can be.”
Penny Evans and Matthew Millar ~ Darien, CT
“Our guides were excellent in all areas which made for a relaxing adventure. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, plus the multi-sport aspect makes for a new experience each day.”
