Mike,
I just have to tell you that we had a WONDERFUL experience on the Salt
last
monday. James
was our guide and he is a real asset to your
group. He is very
knowledgeable, enjoyable, and
knows how to read people as well as water. This
was our first taste of rafting ( although not our
first experience with white water)
and even my "chicken sister" agreed
that she had a blast
and would do it again.
Thanks again for a great
time.

A letter of thanks,
My eight year old son had a spring break from school recently. The two
of us do plenty of activities together like skating, biking, ball games, and more,
but we have not had the chance before to have a real Father/Son Expedition or outing,trek,adventure,etc. I read an article in the paper about the Salt River trips
and did a little homework. First compliment is for your website which seemed the
most professional and informative. Next is for the variety of trips offered. My
original
thought was to take my son camping, but I don't have all the gear
necessary for "roughing" it. Next compliment is for offering a full-day float with
a camp-over with
meals included. Perfect fit, I was sold right there. I told my son
about our upcoming trip and he was jumping out of his skin(so was I). We made
the drive to the canyon and were cordially met by Wiley and Averi who checked
us in and fitted us with gear. Tom was our guide for the trip and he was amazing.
My 8 year old son is very curious and loaded with questions, Tom professionally
fielded them all. He was sure in telling us about the local habitat, vegetation, rock
formation, Indian lore and more. He shared personal stories of his vast rafting
experiences which amazed my son. After the day's float, we were provided a place
to make our camp and get comfortable. My son and I took the time to go for a hike.
We got back to camp and were treated to a fantastic dinner cooked by Tom and
Shiela. We later were invited by Wiley to have a fire where we all made S'mores. Tom
and Shiela hung out with us and we all talked the night away. In the morning,
coffee for me, hot-chocolate for my boy, and a nice breakfast(again, cooked by Tom).
My last compliment is for Tom and Shiela for being so personal with us. They made
me feel like I was part of their camp and not just any "client". That made all the
difference there could be. It was truly special for me and I'm sure it branded the most
visual of memories for my son.
Again, my most sincere thanks to all, Wiley, Averi, Tim(who was safety boat
this trip), and mostly Tom and Shiela. I look forward to making the trip again,
maybe next with my twelve year old daughter.
Sincerely,
Darryl Gelfan

I wanted to let you know what a great
trip we had today. My 15 year old
grandson Daniel and
I joined Nate and 3 other clients on the full day trip.
It was absolutely awesome. Nate was a great guide and
made sure we all
knew the safety drills and the paddle
commands and the trip down the
river was problem free.
We had great rides through the rapids and Daniel
will
remember this for a long time. The other staff members
who supported
our trip were great in meeting all our needs
and I apologize for not having
their names. We looked
at the other companies before we booked this trip
and
know we made the right choice - you'll get repeat business
from me and
I'll recommend you to others. Thanks for a
great day.

Hola!
I was on a Sat to Sun overnight trip, had a blast.
I was part of a
group and my boat guide was Big Tony... I wanted to
give him a tip for his
excellent help and entertaining guidance along the
ride... Is there some
way for me to send him my modest
token of appreciation?
I think your guys do an excellent job of making the
ride fun and
exciting, btw, and they were all very friendly but
with such different
personalities.
If you consider you might need Spanish-speaking guides
some weekend,
let me know, hehehe.
Thanks!
Hi Mike,
We got back last night from our one-day trip with Brian as our guide. It was
wonderful! Barry and I have fairly extensive white water experience, but our
13 year old grandson Owen was on his first trip and was smitten with the entire
experience. Brian was especially thoughtful and engaged Owen in the entire
experience, which I know meant a lot to Owen.....and to us.
Brian is a treasure. He's a good boatman and blends those skills nicely with his
love of nature and sharing it with the passengers. We learned he'll be doing a
dorie trip in the Grand Canyon. We know a lot of the Dorie people in Flagstaff,
have been on some of their trips, and feel he'll be a good fit there, too.
Thanks to you and all the gang for a really terrific close to home fun day with
enough white water to make the heart quicken some and nice calm stretches
to gaze at the beauty. You've good and friendly staff down there and we'll no
doubt do another trip, this time with more family members. Greg, a White Mtn.
Apache guide, pretty much talked me into the multi-day trip. We just couldn't fit
it in this time with Owen's schedule, as it was he missed school yesterday.
Best regards,
Blair Kuropatkin, Barry McCormick and Owen Kuropatkin

Hi Mike
My group the McKee's 14 of us were with you this past Saturday. My 7 were
with Jody and had an excellent time. I really enjoyed the extra effort he was
doing for us
like he wanted us to Surf on his favorite spot but we couldn't
make it there so
he pulled the raft back up and we got there. This is my 3rd
time with your company
and he gave us an excellent ride..
There are several of us that would like some pictures if any one was taking them.
I know we did see someone but did not get any info and would really like an
action photo to go with the other 5 whitewater trips I have done so far.
We are already waiting for next year and might get some more people,
I hope the water will be as nice as this was.
Trish Campagna
Thanks, Mike!
It was an awesome trip and you guys are great to do business with!
Thanks for taking care of this. Btw, I even recommended you guys to
a friend, Frank Lyall, and he went with you a few weeks ago.
Thanks again!

Our Guide Tessa
I would like to express my thoughts about our rafting trip this past
Wednesday on the Salt River. Our guide, Tessa, was courteous,
professional, friendly and knowledgable. She is surely an assett
to your company, and I'm sure she has received many compliments
before. My family and I had a wonderful time and it was one of the
high points of our trip to Arizona. If Tessa is ever in Florida
we would like to invite her to visit us. Please forward this message
on to her for us.
With Great Thanks,
Paul Kane and Family
Hola James!
Good to hear that your guys enjoyed it as much as we did!
Good times were had by all! We definitely are looking forward
to another trip soon. In fact, several of us have been motivated
enough to research buying our own rigs... Then you will have to
watch out for PIRATES taking over your boats...
Would love to take you guys out and have a BLAST.
Perhaps after your season slows down.
Stay in touch!

Dear SRR,
I just wanted to thank you and all the staff at SRR for your
hospitality and service you provided for our trip yesterday.
It was the first white river rafting experience for me and my
boyfriend, so naturally we were a bit anxious before we got there
lol. Nonethless, we had a BLAST. We lead active lifestyle and we're
down for any types of adventures or outdoor activities. Our guide,
Tango (is that his real name?) was very courteous and professional.
Thanks, Tango!
I'd send in application to you guys if I didn't have a full time job
already. haha. It look like alot of fun living out there couple months
out of the year. Anyway, we probably won't see you guys again this year
but we might see you in Colorado or definately next year for some
class 3/4 action.
Thanks again!

SRR,
I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had on our trip.
We were a party of 5 who went on the full day trip on April 4th. A big
part of why we had such a great time was because of our guide, Brian.
He was the best! Because of his knowledge and "fun" attitude he guided
us along the river and through the most exciting parts of the rapids.
Keeping us in the raft at all times (rules #1 and 2) while still making
sure we had an exciting time. It was our first rafting trip but because
of all the fun we had, we now plan to do more. We will recommend this trip
to all our friends. Thanks again. Special thanks to Brian (and Megan
--- hope your first trip on Sunday was fun).
