"My wife and I had a great time on a half-day trip from Riggins to Lucile. The paddle boats were a kick and the water was spectacular, not to mention Epley's staff. Thanks for a great start to our 10th anniversary! "

"We had not booked this all-day whitewater trip ahead of time. We showed up really early in the morning to see if we could get the 9 AM all-day raft trip. They immediately booked us. Our guide was "Wabash". He was an excellent guide. He also kept us entertained with his many stories of the Salmon River. What is really amazing is that he was from Wabash, IN, which is a town 10 miles from where we live, and just graduated from high school there last spring. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. Since we had taken the all-day trip with the steak dinner afterwards, he also cooked us dinner, and did an excellent job! We would highly recommend Epley's Whitewater Adventure and "Wabash" as a guide. Everyone at Epley's treated us great, including one of the owners and Quinton, another guide."

"Super good time! I have to say our guide was THE BEST!!! Jessie, I would come back if he could be my guide again. He knew I was nervous and saw to it I was comfortable, also, for the more adventerous rafter, they got what they wanted from him as well!! A great day and memory!!! Thank You, Karen & Dan"

"We spent one full day on the Salmon River, and it the experience exceeded our expectations. The Epley's provide a family atmosphere, and their guides do not drink or do drugs. A fact I find comforting when my guide has to make critical decisions on the rapids. We enjoyed the deluxe steak dinner at Epley's headquarters at the end of the day. Wonderful! Highly recommend!"
