My then-fiance and I went on a full day trip down the Deschutes with River Drifters. I don't remember our guide's name, but he was a very professional and personable young man. He was patient with us while teaching us water safety and how to use our paddles. There was no part of the trip that was anything less than wonderful. If you like to be outside, like to get wet, and want to spend a day on a beautiful river, I highly recommend this trip. My fiance is now my husband, and we are going back to River Drifters in August, and taking my three teenagers with us this time! I recommend this trip and this company (River Drifters) to everyone.
