Summary:
What an incredible experience with this outfit Deschutes River Adventures. Jack and Emma were incredible guides, the office was great when it came to booking the reservation and setting up the particulars. The equipment was top notch and the full day trip is something that I will remember forever. If there is anybody you should book a Deschutes Rafting trip with, its Dechutes River Adventures. We had 2 boats, 2 guides, 15 people. The lunch was surprisingly good to be honest if you know river food, I didn't have high expectations but was impressed. You can tell that they are serious, passioniate, and obviously a good time. 5 stars, no doubt, look forward to coming back to Maupin again to spend time on the River with this crew.
