"After we left you and were responsible for our own driving, sight-seeing and accommodations, we truly appreciated your efficiency and organization.
-- Elizabeth and Gilbert Lenz, Reno, Nevada

"Our special thanks to you for planning such a comprehensive tour. Friends who have traveled in New Zealand were surprised that we covered so much territory and had so many diverse activities in three weeks. Every one was so friendly, and took such good care of us. We enjoyed every minute of the trip and I send you our thanks for a grand experience!"
-- Diane and Denny Booth, Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania

"It was a really wonderful trip. All my friends who have heard about it are most impressed with the time and thought that most obviously went into planning it. I'm sure we saw a New Zealand that most people will never see."
-- Ann Mahony, Chathamport, Massachusetts

"You and your guides more than lived up to the excellent reviews we'd read before coming."
-- Barbara & Bill Clegern, Cincinnati, Ohio

"Salmon River Outfitters runs a truly great trip. It was impossible to list, or even remember, all the things your staff did to make it a super event. I don't think anyone could have asked for more. It is a vacation I won't forget, and really look forward to doing it again."
-- Bob Gallant, Houston, Texas

"Salmon River Outfitters offers what might just be the best river-rafting adventure in America... The Salmon is ideal for recreation: deep, not too rocky, and with rapids that are exciting but not too dangerous. SRO's meticulous attention to detail includes dedication to safety, relaxation, comfortable camping, and most import, food."
-- Travel & Leisure Magazine

"'This isn't a white-water, white-knuckles type trip,' says Steven Shephard. 'The emphasis is on comfort and exceptionally good eating.' Plus Specialty Trips featuring everything from wine tasting to photography workshops."
-- Harper's Bazaar

"Camping has never been more civilized, with accommodations that include roomy dome tents and chairs. Now both experienced adventurers and novices can raft through this magnificent setting in style."
-- Bon Appetit

"Imagine -- duck with currant sauce and cheese souffle right on the shores of a wild river in Idaho! We were eating as if we were in a fine restaurant, but we were miles from civilization."
-- Sunset Magazine

"Steven Shephard's Salmon River Outfitters has elevated camping to a fine art. They provided everything but your clothes and personal items."
-- Los Angeles Times
