"We can only hope that others can experience such an adventure. The meals were impressive, healthy and fun. The rafting equipment provided was excellent. The training and personalities of the guides were perfect. The best vacation of our lives!"

"What an experience!  The guides were exceptional as was the food.  It was magical how they turned out a gourmet meal every morning, noon and evening right there in the wilderness. Oregon is a beautiful state...the scenery unsurpassed. It will live in my memory a long time. I'm glad I chose ORE!"
