What Our Guests Say about O.R.E.

Comment on an O.R.E. river trip yourself         

"We Loved Our Trip With You!  Connie and Nancy and I are still re-living each glorious day on the river... remembering all the greenery around us, the rushing water, the sound of being summoned to fantastic meals on the river bank, and the knowledge and encouragement of the guides throughout the trip.  It was truly a fantastic experience!  I cannot imagine how the trip could have been better.  We rowed the whole river ourselves with the exception of the top of Blossom Bar which Kate rowed us through and then turned the oars back to us.  I can't thank you enough for allowing me to re-live my dream of running this magnificent river like I did 30 years ago, and for acquainting Nancy and Connie with an experience that they'll never forget."

"I would like to thank your company for the organization of the Rogue River hike on which I was a guest.  Every aspect of the trip was well planned, well equipped, and well executed.  Our guides -- Dove, Travis, and Hooper – were knowledgeable, hardworking, and companionable – not to mention great cooks.   Thank you again for your efforts and keep up the good work."

I had the sheer pleasure of rafting with O.R.E. this past July. The guides really made this experience a joy. Outstanding customer service - you have, I believe, some of the greatest employees a company could have. Their spirit, charisma and positive attitude were always present.

"Thank you for sending such comprehensive information. It's rare that I'm 'wowed' by a company, but this confirmation and information email was great! It's the little things like this that truly make a group like ORE stand out. I think Joe and I are going to have a great time and we're really lucky to have found you randomly on the web!"
