In Awe - A group of 60 year old women from Texas loved this trip! Matt shared all kinds of knowledge, and Adrienne made sure we had everything we needed and cooked us a wonderful meal! It was a very scenic, relaxing ride with a few spots of excitement- just a beautiful area with lots of wildlife!

Chill day on the river - Nisha and Shug were awesome. Nisha pointed out birds and told us about the history of the buildings we saw. Being late in July, there were more areas of floating instead of rapids since the water has gone down so much. Great views through out making this a chill and cooler day on the river escaping the heat.

Rafting into the wilderness - What a wonderful whitewater trip. Matt (our guide) made the river exciting and challenging for us as we rafted into the wilderness. This company is well organized, knows the river well and provides very fresh meals and snacks. Don't book with anyone else.

Fun white water rafting - I was very nervous but really wanted to face this fear & challenge. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We were fortunate enough to have the owner, Matt. He made it soo fun! He is passionate about the outdoors & loves his “job”. Honestly he could have cancelled our outing because we were the only 2 signed up, but he chose to take us. We had the time of our life. I felt safe the whole time but still exciting & thrilling. It doesn’t stop here, lunch was also included. It was delicious! His wife, Adrienne, made us a lunch which included vegetables from their garden. She is also the person we dealt with setting up the excursion, she made it easy and very helpful. I highly recommend this company.

Awesome day! - Kookaburra is a top notch operator. Super professional and a lot of fun. My kids (7 & 9) had a great time and the length of the day was perfect for all. Definitely call to arrange pick up because they were able to pick us up at our Hipcamp which was awesome. Highly recommend this experience!

Great experience - Had a wonderful experience. The guides were knowledgeable about the area and allowed for tons of fun in the river. They served an amazing lunch that was enjoyed by the entire group. Only thing is they play some loud interesting music on the drive to and from the river. Kind of hard to describe but definitely not for me. But overall absolutely great experience.

Excellent River Rafting experience. - Just completed a day on the Salmon River with Matt from Kookaburra Rafting on the Salmon and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. There was a very good mix of Rapids that either "ruffed" you up or just thrilled you as you rode the whitewater. There was also calmer water sections giving opportunities to learn about the history and beauty of the Canyon amid perfect conditions. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and shared many stories during the trip. There was even a lunch break with a large delicious meal provided and cooked by Adrienne (Matt's wife) from produce, mostly from their own garden. The trip was 17 miles of River time with the Rapids providing excitement and thrills throughout. Thanks Matt for a great day on the River. Well worth supporting this Rafting company who go over and above to please the thrillseeking Rafters.

Bachelor party - Had such a great time on our day trip rafting with Kookaburra for a bachelor party with seven guys. Our guide Aaron made things fun, rapids were great, and we had the best hot meal prepared by the crew. Highly recommended and we definitely plan to return!
