I as well as the 18 other people who made the journey to Maupin Oregon away from mobile phone service and facebook would like to say that you made our experience one in which that if there were a way to love instead of like your page on facebook we would surely do so. Possibly I may drive over to Maupin in the future with a family of my own and if I'm down there then surely you will be the rafting service I will put my children in. Thank you for your amazing service.

Just wanted to say that All Star has the best people working there. Talk about friendly and excellent customer service. My family including two daughters, my husband and myself enjoyed our trip so much. And after we accidentally left our swim suits at the local ice cream shop, the All Star staff actually tracked them down and mailed them back to us. Seriously. Isn't that so nice? I just wanted to say thank you again.

To anyone who wants to know.
My family of four grown children and their spouses came up to Washington and Oregon for an ALL STAR water vacation.
We went down the White Salmon River with Max and Nick as our guides and the trip was amazing. The White Salmon is challenging, but Max made it seem easy. We all stayed in the raft, had a fantastic time, and wanted to immediately go again. And because our safety guide Nick made the river kayaking look so cool, we all took kayaking lessons later in the week.
Also later that week we went down the Deschutes River with Garrett, Russell, Dax, and Erin as our guides. They made the trip so much fun. Lots of raft wars (water fights) and lots of great rapid rafting. I was into the water twice, once to get the ladies as high up off the water as possible and once because I didn't hook my feet under in a lazy part of the river and we hit some rocks. A good lesson learned that even the lazy water can get you.
The trips were a blast. ALL STAR ROCKS!!!

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the raft trip on the White Salmon last Sunday. Michael and Seth are amazing guides that give great professional customer service. Michael was the guide on our raft and I was tremendously impressed with his knowledge and ability of running the river along with his way with people. Excellent work!
Best,
Seth

I came over from Portland to raft the Deschutes with All Star on August 15th- I can't thank you enough for a wonderful time. Every employee I met from All Star couldn't have been nicer, they were professional, polite, fun, energetic, concerned with our safety and it was a wonderful ride down the river. The guide on my raft was Courtney- he is such a delightful person, so much fun to have along for the trip, interesting, knowledgeable, polite, kind, concerned for everyone's safety and a wonderful asset to your company. Thanks again, hope to go again sometime soon.

Hello! I just wanted to thank you guys on behalf of my firm for an amazing time. Everyone keeps talking about how much fun it was, how beautiful, how easy, etc. This was the first rafting trip they've done in 10 years, and in the past they did everything themselves before. I doubt that will happen again after this trip!If we do decide to go next year we will definitely be using your company, and would be hesitate to recommend your company if asked! We especially wanted to let you know that our guides were great. They made sure we were taken care of and having fun the whole time. We genuinely enjoyed thier company and if they are still guiding next year we will be sure to ask for them.

My idea of rafting is to have fun, enjoy the surroundings, and enjoy the people I'm with. I just wanted to say thanks to Seth for being a great tour guide last Saturday (29th) and making all that happen. Seth's super attitude really made our day! Also please pass on to the young Lady who was our driver and "Chef" food guru that not only was the lunch perfect, but the presentation was spot on! You folks at All Star have a really good crew! We're already planning a return trip! Again, thanks for a great day on the water!

Silas,
I just wanted to send you a note congratulating you on having excellent staff for our trip- Ryan and Courtney were great guides, and the other guides along made the trip that much more enjoyable. We've rafted a few times in a few different places, and this was clearly our best rafting trip. If we ever decide to go back to Oregon for our annual get together, we'll be sure to look you up. Thanks again,
Ken

Dear All Star,
I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had on our rafting trip this past Saturday. Sure, the weather didn't cooperate the whole time, we got pretty cold and wet by the end, but everyone really enjoyed it. Part of what made the trip great was our guide, Alex. She had lots of interesting information to share, and was relaxed and fun. Everything at the office went smoothly, we were greeted with smiles. We will definitely be back next summer...but probably earlier in the season!
Thanks for a great time,
T. Clark

Courtney, Mack & James-
You guys ROCK! You made our trip an awesome adventure complete with funky weather, a black bear sighting, and moments of gut-splitting laughter that are the stuff of lifetime memories.
Although you are without a doubt the best guides I've ever traveled with (and that's no small feat,) what really impressed me is WHO you are. Thanks for sharing yourselves with us, it was an honor to travel with you. You now hold a special place as honorary members of our nutty family!
With warmth & big hugs all around- Renee B.

Amy,
I just wanted to take this time to thank you and James for a wonderful experience we had on the river this past Monday! We are so glad we chose All Star to provide us with the experience. We were treated well all day long and especially appreciated James as our river guide. He was professional and courteous, and we felt in good hands all day long. Thanks again for the experience and we will definitely recommend All Star to anyone planning on floating the Deschutes!
Sincerely,
Dan, Joyce, Mathew and Stephanie (the one that talked off James's ear)
Becky wanted to make sure she got the same guide as last time. So she emailed us this photo with her family and All Star guides Caitlin and Dax.

Hey, I just wanted to let the operators at ALL STAR know that my son and I had a fantastic time last Friday, August 7. Our guide Dean, was fabulous! He had our whole boat working as a team in no time and provided great commentary, lots of funny stories and most of all, delivered a fantastic river experience. The last few miles below the falls provided a special bonus-we felt like we had the river all to ourselves and Dean made that part of the trip even more special! It was the best time my son and I have had in years!!! I have rafted the Deschutes several times over the previous years, but never with ALL STAR. I can honestly say this was the best trip ever!!! The quality of the trip and the attention of all the guides, espeically Dean and Mike were better than I have ever experienced. Now the only question I have is how soon can I get back over for another trip!!! You guys ROCK!!!

I would like to express my thanks to Max who guided my party down the White Salmon on 4th August. Helen, who was in our group suffers from Parkinsons disease and was very apprehensive although keen. Max pitched the ride just right, she had a great time, as did all of us, she has not stopped telling everyone what a thrilling time she had. He was a great guide and a fountain of knowledge.

Hey Lauren and the rest of the All Star Cast
Just wanted to say thanks for all your service and support. We had a great trip and the shuttle was smooth. Your guys that help at the put-in and take-out are GREAT! Please let them and their boss know we appreciate their work and good attitudes. It really makes a difference. We look forward to working with you next year.

All Star customer John Howard sent us these photos from his trips down the John Day and Owyhee Rivers. You can see more of John's photos and read his travel articles at The Examiner.

Silas & Co.,
We meant to send this sooner but when you've had this much fun, it takes longer to recover...
First, all nine of us want to say that Caitlyn, Courtney and Brett were super guides! They not only knew all about the river, had the answers to our dozens of questions, put up with our jokes, spoiled us with fantastic food, and showed surprising interest in our ancient college stories but they were just genuinely nice people to be with for three days. You are lucky to have them working for All Star.
Thanks for a great experience,
Cam, Marco, Fred, Mick, Mike, Kim, Bruce, Mike and Jack

The All Star staff was very professional, courteous, fun and we had the best meals camping you could ever hope for. All our personal items were safe, dry in dry bags and loaded on the supply boat which went ahead of us...
James took care of the campsite, arriving ahead of us, set up our tents or the tents supplied by the All Star company.
Gourmet meals served by the entire staff. We had 2 rafts with Seth and Josh in charge. We were a team. We brought along 2 kayaks and some of us ventured into the rapids with some success...I had a blast going through the level 2 rapids.
Seth and Josh thank you, James you are the bomb...rowing all day to reserve us the best camp site and was up early making coffee with a big smile.
I highly suggest this 3 day trip to any group, family or just couples. The great leadership of Seth and Josh kept us in our rafts and we had the best weather...
Go there, you will be glad you did.

...I'd just like to say that I went on a 3-day kayaking/rafting trip out of Maupin and it was the best trip I've ever been on. My guides were K.T., Ryan and Jeff. They were all amazing and since I've returned (just last night) I've told as many people as I could to call up and go rafting.
The food was amazing, the campsites were amazing, the river was amazing...I'm still shocked at how perfectly that vacation ended up. I hope Jeff, Ryan and K.T. know how much we all enjoyed ourselves, what amazing guides they were...
