Wow!
What a great trip! We did a day trip on the Upper Klamath River. From the door to door the driver and two guides were excellent. They were knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and patient. We left right on schedule and enjoyed a scenic drive to the put in site. Our guide, Alan, mentioned very interesting geological, historical and other information along the way. Before we launched we had a great breakfast. They had bagels, cream cheese, lox, fruit, coffee, tea, etc etc. After a nice safety talk that made me feel quite comfortable with the guide's care for our well being, we launched. What a ride! There were two turbines (or jets as they called them) running. That made for a tremendous amount of white water.
We had a small group. It was just my girl friend and another couple. The water was class 4+ but Alan told us just when we needed to hang on, paddle, or whatever. He's been doing this for over 25 years so he knew how to keep the group very safe. Also, since it was such a small group and there wasn't another group in the water to watch each other's backs, so there was another guide in a kayak running safety ahead of us in case anything should happen.
The rain stayed away the entire time so the guides had us stop along the river for a lunch break. They set up a little table and put out a beautiful spread that was nicely arranged for us.
After lunch the amazing ride continued. We each even got to sit on the bow of the raft and "ride the bull" as we went through the white water.
The end of the day brought us to the van waiting with another little spread of watermelon, tea, coffee, etc. It was the birthday of one of the other people on the trip so they also had delicious cup cakes with candles ready for the occasion.
Wow! I would highly recommend Momentum River Expeditions to anyone considering a trip on a river they go down. -

These guys were awesome from the beginning to end. We kayaked the Lower Klammath which was still challenging and a ton of fun for 20-somethings. There were kids on our trip who were in the rafts and they had a blast as well. As one of the parents put it, he loves the "built-in babysitters" in the guides.
We will for sure use Momentum again. Maybe the Cal-Salmon next spring? Can't wait! -

Took a great day trip down the Class III- IV Klamath River along the California and Oregon border. Momentum ran a smooth operation from start to finish. The guides were first well organized, and also delivered a great experience in a laid-back atmosphere.
The day was a perfect outdoor adventure mixed with great conversation and healthy food. Will look to take more trips with this company in the future. Highly recommened. -

We had an awesome time on this trip. Scaling Class 4 & 5's and not one person fell out!
The outfit prepared us from planning/packing weeks prior all the way to drop off at the end of a long weekend of rafting.
The guides were professional, easy going and very very educated, not only in rafting/guiding but on rivers, conditions, preparation etc.
If you want an extremely fun and exciting river rafting excursion you're going to want to use this out fit.
They provided food from breakfast to dinner every day. Tents and pads were provided as well.
You can't beat this for an all around get away destination journey.
They will work with you for any of your special needs/requirements and pretty much create an experience you and your friends and family will enjoy from start to finish.
Way to go Momentum Rafting! -

Awesome!!! Pete was the best river rafting guide. Great food! Relaxed environment. Keg of beer to drink after each rafting trip and at dinner. No one feel out of the boat while going down the rapids and there were some good class 5 rapids. Pete was flexible about picking us up and dropping us off.

We recently went on a 1/2 day Rogue River trip with Katie and Jason. The promptly picked us up at the Safeway and set off to our destination. We were excited that our group of 4 got them to ourselves. 3 of us were newbies to the experience, and it couldn't have been better. Jason was not only extremely knowledgeable about rafting, but also about the local area (we even took him up on going to Dragonfly for brunch). By the end of it, we were craving more... if only we could have done the full day trip. Next time we're going to Klamath! Thanks for the great first experience, Katie and Jason!
