Great day! - I was so impressed with Rowan and the other guides on our trip! Everything was so well organized and professional. Their facility and equipment are clean, organized and well maintained. It was a great day!

Rogue River Experience - We spent an unforgettable day with Orange Torpedo Trips on the Rogue River in Merlin, Oregon, taking their Rogue River Thrill Seeker Trip. Our adventure began on the Nugget Falls section of the Rogue River, where we navigated a series of exciting Class II and III rapids before finishing with two thrilling Class IV rapids—Nugget Falls and Til’omikh Falls. After lunch, we switched gears and climbed into individual inflatable kayaks to paddle through the lower section of Hellgate Canyon. This was our first time kayaking, and it was an incredible experience. Sitting closer to the water made every rapid feel more exciting, while the inflatable kayaks offered a fun, hands-on whitewater adventure that didn't require any previous paddling experience. We floated through several Class I and II rapids, building confidence and having a blast along the way. Our guide, Rowan, was fantastic. He spent the entire day sharing interesting facts about the river, teaching us paddling techniques, and keeping us entertained with stories from his time on the water. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. It was an amazing day on the Rogue River and an adventure we'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun mix of rafting, kayaking, and spectacular scenery.

Fun full day on the river - Our guide was professional, friendly and knowledgeable We rafted the first half of the day. Experienced 2 Class IV rapids After lunch we kayaked 6 miles. I really enjoyed this part. Our guide instructed us through the rapids. There were 2 class I. 3 class II and one class III. Very exhilarating

wonderful experience, highly recommend! - The three day Orange Torpedo Rogue River kayak trip was absolutely amazing. The rapids were the perfect mix of “wow, this is thrilling” and “okay, I can actually do this,” which is my ideal level of adventure. And the scenery? Stunning. Floating through the canyon gives you a whole new perspective, like the river is letting you in on a secret it doesn’t share with people who stay on land. Hunter was incredible. He’s so knowledgeable and calm that even when I flipped my kayak, I barely had time to think “uh-oh” before he had me out of the water. Honestly, I think he rescued me before I realized I needed rescuing. Scott kept us entertained with great stories and history, the kind that makes you feel like you’re getting a bonus tour. And I loved the time I spent on the raft talking food with Josh, who somehow managed to steer us down the river while also debating the finer points of good meals. Multi‑tasking at its finest. My only complaint: the cold shower at Paradise Lodge. The propane had run out, so the shower was basically a “glacier experience.” They told us we’d get a free drink with dinner to make up for it, but when we asked at the bar, the bartender had not idea what we were talking about. We didn’t push it, nothing kills the vibe faster than explaining why you deserve a pity cocktail. Even with that little hiccup, the trip was incredible. We’re already planning our next adventure with Orange Torpedo, because any company that can make me love a river enough to forgive a surprise cold shower is doing something right.

Rogue River kayaking and rafting - We had a great time on this two part, full day trip. The morning was spent kayaking down the Rogue in inflatable kayaks. Lots of fun and a bit of adrenaline navigating the Class I and II rapids. Our guides, Will and Drake, were great. We had lunch back at the Orange Torpedo facility, then spent the afternoon rafting through Class III and IV rapids. Loads of fun and excitement!

Whitewater rafting in Merlin - The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Our group had an amazing day. We will definitely use Orange Torpedo in the future.

Great trip - fun, approachable and a wonderful adventure outdoors - This was a fantastic outfit to go on a rafting trip with. The guides were experienced and fun to spend the day with (thanks Kalin and Hayden)! I had never been kayaking on a river, and had a great time, it was approachable and a fun new experience. The length of the trip was just right, and the lunch in-between kayaking and white water rafting was the best I've had on a rafting trip. The views on the Rogue river were spectacular, it was a wonderful escape from the hustle of everyday life.

Going Rogue - Our trip was really well organized. Orange Torpedo was also good at communicating with us before the trip. We all felt we were in good hands with Chase as our guide. We all had a really great time.

So much fun! - We did the Thrill Seeker and had the best time. Our guide, JP, was incredibly fun and knowledgeable, and the sites along the Rogue, especially in Hellgate Canyon, were amazing. I can't recommend these guys enough!

Experiencing the beautiful Rouge River - Our trip was from July 1 - July 3 Lodge to Lodge The trip was a truly amazing experience The guides and staff were exceptional The attention to details and organization was first class I would recommend this trip to all looking for fun and adventure
