An epic outdoor adventure for some novice mountain men and woman on a beautiful Saturday in Southern Oregon! It's no secret the last year has been stressful for all of us, particularly for me and some fellow engineering students in the thick of our studies at Oregon Tech; adapting to distance learning, masks upon masks, the fires, a professor strike, the daunting task of writing the cannon on geoengineering ethics, and being assigned responsibility to reverse climate change. We needed a break! Noah's Rafting gave us exactly that! A whole day later and I am grinning ear to ear thinking about our 13+ miles of rapids, rafting, and sunshine on the Upper Klamath River. Introductory training in safety and maritime fundamentals and we were quickly paddling into our first whitewater. I cannot say enough about our guide Captain Sweet! He is incredibly skilled, charismatic, and easily the kind of guy you have no qualms spending a day on the river learning from, leaning on, and getting to know. We conquered several level 3 and 4 obstacles including the famous 4+ Caldera stretch! My friends and I feel accomplished, rejuvenated, and better connected to the planet we are training to protect. We cannot wait to return to the raft and pursue our next adventure! Thank you Noah's Rafting and Captain Brandon Sweet for providing us with such an incredible day! See you again soon!!

We booked an outing with Noah’s to introduce our youngest son to rafting. We were sold on the fact that we could kayak alongside the raft. While one or two of us stayed in the raft, the others worked their own kayaks with some guidance from Ryan. It was a great blend of relaxation and adventure. We will be back for the bigger rapids next time.

The Wild and Scenic Upper Klamath River is arguably the best class IV summer day trip in the country. Cutting a steep wilderness canyon through the Cascades of Southern Oregon the river features big summer flows and rapids that are over a football field long. There are three different sections beginning with a fun class-III warm-up – making the Upper Klamath a recommended trip for first-timers and experienced paddlers. The trips are enjoyed in small groups and lead by some of the most experienced guides in the country.

Inclusions: All river equipment, Hotel pick-up and drop-off from the Ashland Oregon area., A continental breakfast, gourmet lunch and snack, featuring local and organic produce & products., World-class guides with a minimum of 5 years experience leading trips around the globe, All taxes, fees and handling charges

Wow! This outfit does it right! Great food, cheerful, capable and helpful guides, very knowledgeable about the area, quality equipment and excellent campsites chosen. We are a senior couple who joined with adult children and teenage grandchildren for a 3 night wilderness experience on the Rogue River in Oregon. We had all kinds of weather but were well prepared and taken care of for hot, cold, sun, rain, and wind. Thankfully, no snow. The whitewater was plenty exciting and skillfully handled by our guides. How wonderful to unplug and destress in great company surrounded by gorgeous scenery and multitudes of wildlife.

We took three three tours with America's Hub. In fact, when they had to reschedule a coastal tour they provided us with a private downtown tour. All three tours - half day downtown Portland, half day Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge, and full day coastal tour far exceeded our expectations. Phil was our tour guide for the two half day tours and Carrie was our tour guide for the full day coastal tour - they were both very knowledgeable, and offered lots of great tips on restaurants, and scenic hot spots, I would highly recommend all three of these tours,
