Boisterous water fun - We had a great family group join 2 of us. Aiden was our river guide and was friendly, fun, and instructive He ensured we all had a blast - and only tricked a couple of gullible ones into thinking there was a hot spring to check out with a short swim. Well done!

Never had a better day 100% - Aden, our guide, had a great sense of humor. He kept is all engaged in conversation with each other. By the end of the trip I didn't feel like I was with strangers. I shall do this again next year.

Highlight of the trip - Highlight of our trip to Idaho. Ryan as a guide crushed it. He tailored the trip and our route to maximize fun and excitement. If you’re on the fence about going, DO IT. You won’t regret it.

Cousins vs. the rapids - We had Nick as a River guide, best guide ever! There were 8 of us and we were all on a cousins trip, he might as well be a part of the family now! Super knowledgeable about the River and rapids, rocks within and the different currents. He even explained some for us to know. Absolutely coming back here and having him as a guide!

These guys are da best! - This is the best and most experienced of the eight rafting companies in Riggins, Idaho - the “White Water Capital of Idaho.” Solid, safe, professional operation. We had an awesome time! Great people to work with in getting our group of six onto the river. They do not disappoint.

An excellent way to spend time on ( and in ) the water. - Prompt and punctual, good equipment, fantastic guides, and some very fun class 2 / class 3 rapids. You depart from the river walking distance from the shop location so dress appropriately. A bottle of water strongly recommended.

Just go with Orange Torpedo - Just go with Orange Torpedo! Our experience August 2022 was really disappointing. Did they safely get us down the river? Yes, but let's start with the cold welcome from the front desk and then the guides and the very smelly (body odor) van ride to the river. We were told to leave everything in our cars which we did but once fitted for life jackets we had a few things to put in the dry bags. The guide seemed pretty annoyed even though the web sites states that dry bags are available. It was the first time taking our kids and we were excited for them but we quickly figured it wouldn't be great because after the first rapid of paddling they were thirsty and we turned to our guide and asked for water and there was nothing for us. Even though the web site specifically states that there will be snacks and drinks? I left my water bottle in my car. So now we are on a 2 hour ride in the hot sun with nothing to drink. I was very confused because that is one of the questions you have to answer when you fill out the safety form and register for the trip? It lists water or coke products. As we continue to float down the river our guide was very impersonal and didn't even tell us about fun things we could do until too late ie float certain rapids in our life jackets or stop at certain spots(snack/drink break like the website states.) We passed a few Orange Torpedo boats and they seemed like they were have a blast. We made it to the boat ramp and realized we lost a pair of Patagonia shorts($50) somewhere down the river. They should have been in the dry bag but like a stated before that was a touchy issue. Another smelly ride back to the shop where there are no pictures of our adventure? Pretty sure the website says something about that as well. It was a disappointing experience. We called later that week to talk with someone about the miss communication about the drink issue and of course they said they would get back to us but they didn't.
