Going on a trip with America's Rafting Company was by far one of the greatest experience I have had. ARC's staff was extremely professional, but also laid back that made me feel safe and comfortable while in the canyon. All of the staff was extremely welcoming and their hospitality was out of this world. The food was absolutely amazing, so good that I am trying to make some of the recipes in my own home! Also I was simply amazed with what all the staff did for us! From rafting class four rapids to camping and cooking in the middle of the canyon I couldn't have felt more safe.The trip was thrill, and it was a perfect way to unplug, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy the beauty of nature.read more

I cannot say enough about how accommodating and professional the team at ARC was! They truly considered every little thing. The food was amazing! Lauren’s skills to provide hearty, but healthy food while on the river was impressive. The whole team made me feel very comfortable while we cruised class 4 rapids. I’ve never felt particularly comfortable with big river rapids, but their professionalism put me at ease. Camp every night was set up for our comfort and we felt taken care of like kings and queens. They really combine hospitality with adventure and are delightfully knowledgeable and take joy in pointing out wildlife along the way. The bonus of seeing bald eagles, mountain goats and a bear was icing on the cake!read more

First, Hell's Canyon is an amazing place. Very beautiful! There is really no other way to see this place other than being on the water. And no better way to be on the water than go on this rafting trip with Lauren and Jarett. The rafting and the kayaking through these rapids is amazing and made safe and accessible by their team! Not just that, they prepare the most amazing food that you can imagine in the wilderness.read more

Wow! What an experience! From the package purchase right through to the bus ride home and everything in between. This trip has everything that will satisfy your desire for a white water rafting/swimming/learning/hiking/camping adventure.The ARC is very respectful and courteous of its guests and treated each of us with the care and consideration that exceeded our expectations. They inform and equip you with everything you need to have in preparation for the trip and in a timely manner. Transportation to and from the river/canyons was well coordinated and safe, yet expeditious and mindful of the need to make rest and pit stops.The raft captains are very capable and flexible; never failing to educate, entertain, inform and innovative. There was plenty of opportunities paddle, row or simply laze on the rafts. Given that, in addition to all the other duties they perform (cooking, camp set-up/tear-down, nursing, hosting, protecting guests from extreme elements etc.) they row several hours a day! It would be easy to expect a break-down in quality of service occasionally - NOT SO!! I could not rate this team any less than 6 stars out of five.The food was not only served in a timely manner, it was always absolutely AWESOME and totally delicious. The meals were always well balanced between healthy, adventurously decadent and devilishly delightful.What more can I say ...? Now I know why God told Noah to "build an "ARC' ..."!read more

Lauren, Jarrett, Bryce, Aidan and Nick (aka Fake Aidan) went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. From set to break down of the camps to amazing meals, beer, wine, cocktails and fantastic conversations...we could not ask for more! Thank you ARC for everything!!read more

I cannot say enough good things about my 5 day 4 night adventure. I have never been on a camping trip where I gained weight. You will not have your standard camping food with this crew and you definitely will not go hungry.Our guides Bryce, Ryan, Adian, and Jarrett were amazing. As far as I am concerned they went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a good time.The fishing was phenomenal. We mostly caught smallmouth bass. No shortage of fish in this river. All the fishing gear was provided. They even take the fish off the hook for you. How great is that?The short walks to homesteads were an added bonus.It takes quite a bit to really impress me and these guys are over the top. Seriously on a scale of 1-5, I give them a 5.read more

Lauren, Jarrett and Bryce could not have been better hosts for our three-day trip on the Snake River through Hell's Canyon. For them, it is more then just about the rapids - it is the total river experience, from learning the history, seeing the wildlife. learning how to navigate the current, and just listening to the sounds of the river. Highly recommended.read more

This was one of the best experiences of my life. I caught more fish in one day than I ever have in my 32 years. Lauren prepared the best food, the guides (Bryce and Ryan) were incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Jarrett you have a gem of a company. I’ll be coming back! I wish I could give ARC more stars.read more

The whole team at American Rafting made the three day Hells Canyon trip a true memory of a lifetime for me and my friend.The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and eager to cater the trip to what we were looking for (mainly fishing). The canyon was beautiful and filled with a variety of wildlife so much so that it almost felt surreal.All of that would have been great enough but when you factor in the homemade food they provided it really took this trip to another level.I'm telling all my other friends to do this trip and without a doubt do it with ARC!read more

We has a great time on our trip to Hell's Canyon. Jarrett, Lauren and Ryan really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The food was fantastic, with Lauren's made from scratch breads being especially good. Of course the scenery was also beautiful with lots of wildlife sightings (deer, bald eagles, bighorn sheep etc.)read more

We chartered American rafting for 17 family and friends for a 3 day adventure down Hell's Canyon in late August 2015. American Rafting did an amazing job with food, fun, and service. A group of us also went backpacking in the 7 devils and with Parker's help navigated a spectacular route with a descent from 8,000 feet to 2,000 feet on the Snake River. The next day, early in the am a guide pulled up to cook fresh food and homemade chorizos for breakfast, it was amazing. The kids loved the river swimming, bass fishing and everyone had fun catching and releasing a 7 ft river monster. Kissing the sturgeon brings good luck! This was topped off with a photo safari of several bighorn sheep that came down to visit our camp. Wow...was this fun. This is a great team of rafters, the service is exceptional and you will not be disappointed!read more
