Trip Quality: The ECHO Eagle Eye

The trip far exceeded any expectations I had! Everything was perfect for our group, the guides, the scenery, the food, the river...I still keep thinking about my rafting buddies.

This is our 36th year!!! That makes ECHO one of the most experienced outfitters in the industry. We have learned what works and what doesn't work as well as how to make your river trip extra special for you, your friends, and your family.

From beginning to end, we have an eye for detail. We listen to what you tell us, we explain everything in great detail, and we communicate your needs and wants to our crews. Whether you're talking about pre-trip logistics, dealing with your specific trip needs, or making the return trip home, we are there to help. We exaggerate only slightly when we say that ECHO never sleeps during the season. Someone is always thinking about your trip.

Comfort

We are committed to making you feel comfortable while on the river. We strive to make all of our guests completely comfortable in a new environment in terms of their social, hygiene, and safety needs.

On the Middle Fork and the Rogue we furnish sleeping bags, air mattresses, tents, and camp chairs. On the Middle Fork we put up and take down your tents for you. We are constantly on the lookout for ways to make your river adventure more pleasurable.

Any feedback or suggestions from ECHO guests are always welcome via email at info@echotrips.com or give us a call at (800) 652-3246.

Great Food

All our food is fresh, healthy, and delicious. At the beginning, middle, and end of a hard day of play, there is nothing better than a good freshly prepared meal. And that's exactly what you'll find on the river - lasagna, fajitas, grilled steak, chicken, salmon, and made-to-order omlettes are just a few of our recipes.

Our guides specialize in dutch oven cooking and take pride in their fresh breads and desserts. Each day we provide an appetizer ranging from fresh salsa and guacamole to egg rolls. Lunches range from deli sandwiches to our famous chicken curry salad. We have spent 35 years refining our recipes and each year our meals evolve and improve.

Safety

Never having been on a rafting trip before I was a little apprehensive...but I felt totally safe at all times

- M. O'Neill, Dragon, AZ

Your safety is our number one priority, both on and off the river. We have an exemplary safety record. We require all of our guides to be certified and current with their first aid and CPR training. Many of our guides have extensive wilderness medicine training, including Wilderness First Responder (WFR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), and Paramedic backgrounds.

Our guides are also trained in swiftwater rescue techniques and are completely competent in whitewater rescue. We invest heavily in our equipment, making sure that it is in top condition.
