"I just wanted to tell the team at Ouzel that our family had a great time on our trip down the Deschutes. Our guides were knowledgeable and lots of fun. We tackled all the challenges that came our way and we enjoyed every minute of it!"

"For a person who has not been there, it is most difficult to understand what the River and the 'Boatpeople' now mean to me. I not only had a fantastic time and a great experience, but I also have a feeling that I now see a lot of things much more clearly…"

"…there is an uncommon quality to these river guides and I come increasingly to admire it. They operate with a quiet competence and assurance in a genuinely democratic partnership that would shame the teams in a thousand modern corporations."

"My boys were 8 and 6 and they loved it. My wife was born in Manhattan and grew up in Westchester County. She had probably never used an outside john before this trip and had not been in a tent in 25-30 years. It was the nicest 5 days we ever spent."

"I can quite see why both kids and adults living in a cushioned world come back home with a new carpet under their feet: you have an all-singing, all-dancing, vision-giving, dream-making team over there, and its rare to find in this maddening world."
Sacha V.
"As a woman, I am deeply and greatly moved and inspired by experiencing the women in their strength of body and spirit. Your guides offered up a model that will not be forgotten. Rather, I will take on that much more because of what I witnessed in them."
Susan J.
Atlanta, GA
"It was truly remote and desolate wilderness far from civilization surrounded by incredibly beautiful scenery and an unbelievable sky. When things get hectic, we like to remember the river, the sky, the quiet and our new friends. We have already recommended your company to our friends and will continue to do so."

"The guides were top-notch. They made the trip an excellent experience. We liked their personalities, their knowledge of the area (history, geology & wildlife) and their attention to safety."
Tracy L.
"This was a vacation in the truest sense of the word; exciting, relaxing, full of fun and adventure and a great family bonding experience. Thank you!".

Food was delicious! Service was “impeccable”- we truly felt like we were on vacation. We cannot say enough about the high caliber of guides we had the pleasure of traveling with- thank you.
