This trip was outstanding. Took the 4-day lower salmon trip over Memorial day weekend. The guides on this trip are knowledgeable, fun, hard-working, and great cooks! The provided everything we needed throughout the whole trip and provided the whole group with many laughs. I have never been kayaking so I think the inflatable kayak provided a good introduction. It was... More

I had such a great experience with OTT that I am writing my first tripadvisor review! I did the 4 day inflatable kayak trip on the lower salmon and enjoyed every minute of it. The trip offered a perfect blend of challenging rapids and lazy floats. The guides were attentive to every detail of the trip and the food far... More

My husband, two grown sons, and one's fiancee, took the OTT 3-day Rogue River trip in August, and I can't say enough good things about it! None of us had done much whitewater rafting previously, and none of us had done the individual inflatable kayaks. My husband and I are in our 60s, in decent shape, but worried whether we'd... More

The Orange Torpedo Trips 3 days Rogue River, wild and scenic, white water with lodges, is just the best possible way to experience the river. The guides from Orange Torpedo have to be some of the most experienced on the river, or any river for that matter and that translates to comfort and peace of mind, not to mention they... More

Our family of four (2 kids 12 yrs) just got off a thrilling three-day Rogue River float trip with Orange Torpedo Trips. For excitement, interest and fun, it is tough trip to beat. Paddling the Rogue in an inflatable kayak was at times very challenging, which added to the excitement, thrill but also left some of us novices temporarily shaken... More

We took the oared trip from Ennis Riffle to Graves Creek. The weather was perfect, the white water was just enough to provide some thrills and get us wet. Our guide, Aaron, a recent college grad, was interesting, funny, knew a lot about the river, history, geology and he broke into song periodically. Lunch was simple but good, served on... More

BOTTOM LINE: The view was pretty, but I’d use a different Rafting company – one that had more experienced guides. My husband decided to kayak and said that they had very good guide/instructors kayaking with him. I was on a raft. My guide was young and inexperienced. Going into the trip I knew that that the river was moving slow... More
