These guys took great care of my staff and I. Lunch was really good as well. They had at least 6 fancy mustards. That's just amazing!

Great day rafting with Tristan. It was a beautiful day and great scenery rafting on the Salmon. Tristan explained all necessary safety protocols and also made the day enjoyable. Many thanks!

We did the one day rafting trip and had an amazing time. My son (12) and I were in the inflatable kayaks and mom rode in the raft. My son and I have very little experience kayaking but the guide was terrific and got us through every rapid, though not always in the kayak by the end. My son was hesitant on a few of the bigger rapids but our guide stuck right with him, somehow appeared right next to us as soon as we fell in, and was encouraging, positive, and patient the entire day. Especially nice was the mid-day break back at the office. By coming back to the start, we could go to the bathroom, leave stuff in the car we didn't need for the afternoon, get stuff we did need, check the phone, etc. Likely the best one-day rafting trip I've ever had!

Beautiful area and outstanding river. Andy was the most outstanding guide & help me several times when the rapid won. This was our 4th annual family outing & we are looking forward to next year with OTT.

8 friends and family went on the day river trip down the Lower Salmon River. We are so lucky to have the Salmon River in our state and are able to ride the waves with Orange Torpedo! We had such a blast. 2 of our group had never rafted and were blown away. Great guides and price for the trip! the river

Fantastic first time rafting trip with the family! We took our teenage daughters and they had a blast! Nice that the first half is more mellow and gets you prepared for the bigger rapids on the second half of the tour. Lunch was perfect, grilled burgers with a vegetarian option too. We had an excellent guide (Jessi) that was super patient and extremely helpful in taking us down the river. She took photos/video for us and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time! Highly recommend Orange Torpedo!

The trip itself was great. Our guides Olivia and Jess knew what they were doing and kept us safe. The only part that was kind of a bummer was the down time from rapids and the intensity of the rapids. I totally understand that nature will take its own course and there is no magic switch to just increase or decrease the rapids, but it would have been nice to maybe hear more about the river or history during our trip while there was a lot of flat slow moments. I am clearly no expert on rafting, but I felt like we could have aimed for some of the bigger rapids at times and we kind of steered around them. Again, I really did have a great time and I would do it every day if I could, but I would definitely say that this trip is geared more towards a beginner thrill seeker rather than a total adrenaline junkie. I would love to come back on at a time when the same section of the river is firing on all cylinders just to get a better understanding of what the trip could have been. Everything other than that was great. Good food, nice people, and super attentive to helping.

This was the worst guided rafting trip I have taken out of Riggins, I believe I have taken 8 different trips. First we waited around until 9:15 until we got going. Second, I have never been with a company that didn't provide water or at the very least have a cooler so we can put water in it. The water was low so there wasn't any extreme rapids and the company would not allow us to have drinks on the trip. This was my 3rd trip with Orange Torpedo and drinking was never prohibited. It was a birthday trip for my husband so we had planned on having a few drink. I have never been on a trip that would not allow drinking. We also felt like nothing was very organized. Book with a different company...

An absolute must ! First rate outfit. Took a day trip on the inflatable kayak’s , Kelly our guide was amazing , took good care of us three rookies . From the minute we showed up till we left we were amazed out how your made feel like family . Beautiful canyon views, great memories, inspiring trip all around . Kelly makes a mean burger half way through, you’ll be hungry ! I suggest you stay the night before hand , great little town with friendly folk , quiet little hotels line the canyon, got up refreshed ready for a day of adventure. Don’t worry about not having strong kayaking skills , guides are there to show you the lines , keep you safe , and in case like I did , you take a dip , they pop you back in and off you go . Just bring your sunscreen , water bottle and water proof cameras, you’ll want the memories . Everything else was provided ! We’ll be back again next year on our anniversary thinking about a over nighter next go around !! God bless Jeff & Bink Moscow

We had an awesome time on the Salmon River with Nathaniel and Gabe! Our family of 4 (including two teenagers) did the full day trip (inflatable kayaks in the morning and shared a raft in the afternoon) and had an incredible time. The river and surrounding landscape are amazing beautiful and being on the river was a combo of relaxing and riveting all at once. We'd highly recommend and hope to be back again for a multi-day trip!

An amazing day on the majestic Salmon River! A large group (26 people plus guides), divided into 5 rafts, made for fun camaraderie and an opportunity to meet people from all over. Abbey did a fantastic job guiding our trip and helped everyone feel safe and comfortable while having a great time. The whitewater was exhilarating and the waves were great, leading to lots of laughter and rushes of adrenaline, while the calm stretches of water were great for swimming and floating. A great day that I would love to repeat!

What a great crew they have. The guides were awesome! Really professional but also friendly and made the adventure fun all around, from interacting with the guests throughout, educating and being playful on the water. Safety conscious, but high energy and fun too. Best guides ever! Food was delicious and equipment was all in good shape and up to date. Would love to do it again soon.

We had a wonderful rafting trip on the Salmon River with Cooper. She was AMAZING - fun, engaging, and a great teacher. She taught the kids, and adults, how to pick an entrance point into the rapids. We learned about controlling the raft and movement through the rapids. Our kids 16, 14, and 11, were able to float in the water down the river and do flips of the raft while in calm water. The kids were able to "ride the bull" through the rapids. There were 9 of us total on the raft as we were traveling with family. Logistics: Arrive at the building (8:30am), get life jackets, load into van, drive 20 min to put-in location, raft 8 miles, pull-out at building for lunch and hour break (noon-1pm), back in the water for 7 miles of rafting, pull-out and 15 min drive back to the building (almost 5pm).

Encountering any class 3 rapids along the way was great. Water level was a little low but still great.

We had a great time. Cristos was great guide and was very knowledgeable about the river and answered our questions. We would highly recommend this raft trip to others.

My husband and I went on a full-day trip with them in solo inflatable kayaks during our honeymoon. We were with one other guest and two guides. The day went very smoothly, and it was incredible to be able to raft on the longest free-flowing river in the United States. One of our guides, Gabe, gave us some insight into the perils facing Idaho's rivers today. I learned a lot from him. The inflatable kayak trips are definitely not for the faint of heart, as you are paddling your own kayak into large rapids and if you have never done it before, you have to be able to learn quickly and be okay with going swimming. It is certainly very challenging. My kayak flipped over twice while I was in rapids, and both times the guides were quite helpful in getting me back in the raft with all of my equipment. I am glad that we had such a small group, because I really enjoyed the one-on-one attention that we received. The only thing that would have made our trip better is if our lead kayak guide would have spoken louder and been more clear before we headed into giant rapids. Other than that, this is an experience that I will never forget!!

We had such a great time during our 1-day rating trip in Idaho. It's perfect for all skill levels and was a fun way to experience the rapids. Our guide (Steve) was a lot of fun to hang out with and did a great job guiding us through the white water. For lunch, Steve made us brats and burgers with an avocado bean salad, cookies and chips. It was a delicious and a pleasant improvement from what you typically get on river trips.
