Testimonials
It was an excellent mix of guides and experience. Having Zack who is a walking historical and geological encyclopedia was invaluable. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every guide. They were all very competent and hard workers. Holden did a great job guiding his first trip.
It was an absolutely amazing trip. If I had un-unending resources, I would do it over and over, with Hatch. I am recommending you to all of my friends and maybe I will get a chance to do this again with Hatch. You never know!
This trip was a lifetime dream come true
All of the guides were amazing! Shout out to Holden, Jimmy, Dave, Zach (and Jennings!!) They all made the trip so memorable! We got lucky with weather, but it was all about the people!
Third white water rafting trip with three different outfitters Hatch was GREAT!!!
Wish a bit more ice had been allocated for cocktails in the evenings. Drinks with no ice aren't very palatable. I understand the need to have enough ice for keeping the food fresh but resupply from the motorized trips worked well. So the system to restore a modest amount of ice each night would be a big improvement.
Couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Great weather, great crew, and great passengers that have all become friends.
The guides were quite informative and worked together very well. They truly were a team. I felt in some ways like family. Missing them already!
Great food, amazing logistics, wonderful team.
You poop in a bucket with 25 people you just met. You sleep on the ground. You get wet and cold then dry, then wet and cold again. You get sand in your coffee, your food, your sleeping bag, your eyes, ears and every other human orifice. Yet in spite of that, it still turns into a wonderful, magical vacation. We had a great time and hope to do it again. Thank you.
