Centennial Canoe

Testimonials

"Centennial has outfitted a number of our Oberlin College alumni trips. I've been on a couple of the trips myself and can attest that they're incredibly enjoyable and that our alumni have a great time. "

Danielle Young, Executive Director, Oberlin Alumni Association, Oberlin, OH

"We had such a great time on the family canoe trip! The guides were so helpful and welcoming, and kept everyone engaged with constant tidbits of science, history, and fun. We loved the kids' games (or were they for the grownups?) and the food was always tasty!"

Shana Kirk, Denver, CO

"We were lucky enough to have been assigned to the 'A Team' with guides Jim, Mark and Greg. Not only did they keep us safe, they fed us very well, and entertained and educated us along the way. We look forward to future trips with Centennial Canoe!"

Traci Case and Pete Gotseff, Golden, CO

"You have truly exceptional guides and I look forward to more Museum focused events and also booking my own trips through your company."

Dr. Nicole Garneau, Curator of Human Health at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Denver, CO

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work, guidance, encouragement and wonderful core. You made the trip a very special one for all the Oberlin alumni. We had a wonderful time and hope to join you again!"

Kira McGirr and Charles McGuire, Oberlin, OH

"Nothing beats Happy Hour on the river. We had all just set up camp for the evening and went for a swim. We found a large rock to hold onto where we could chat when our guide floats up with a tray full of cheese, meats, crackers and wine. It was Fab U Losa!"

Jenn Staley, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

"I have consistently had Five Star experiences with Centennial Canoe. Their attention to comfort and safety while providing an exciting and enjoyable trip is simply astounding. My daughter and I have made Centennial Canoe trips our annual experience together."

Susan Jacobsen, Arvada, CO

"The Gunnison is quite a beautiful stretch of river and I'm happy I now know it better than I did. I'ts also nice to know that there are guides taking folks through it and treating the river and camps with the highest respect and at the same time providing a geat experience for canoe enthusiasts. I really can't say enough about how great your guides are."

Bill Powers, Musician Paonia, CO

"I had called your office right before the trip to inform you that I am a vegetarian and I was very impressed by the meals the guides prepared. "

Jenna Walters, Ft. Collins, CO

"We had a great time. The logistics were well planned and food was excellent. We learned a lot and will be better on the river next time."

Dave and Pam Garrison, Castle Rock, CO

"I ran into a previous customer of yours. He said - what a great organization you had and that he really enjoyed the trip. I usually have some complaints when I guide for other outfitters but with Centennial it was nothing but good."

Dwayne Wood, Guide/trainee, Golden, CO

"We had a wonderful time on our canoe trip. The guides were outstanding and we hope that one or more of them will be guides for a future trip we take. The scenery was out of this world."

Alice and Joel Studebaker, Princeton, NJ

"Very good time of year on the Gunnison River [September].  We had Dominguez Canyon to ourselves. It was a great trip!  Always good value for the money.  Great location. Great guides."

Kim Sheperek, Longmont, CO

"We have done similar group activities in the past, but this canoe group was the best ever. Thanks for having "Small Potatoes" (musicians) as the catalyst that made it so wonderful."

"Great guides. You have a winner there. Charlie is a very steady guide, easy to get along with and he acted like the uncle to the two boys on the trip. Looking forward to more adventures with Centennial."

Ed Adam, Geologist, Montrose, CO

 

We like the hiking/canoeing combination. Especially hiking locations that are hard to get to by car. Dumping out of the canoe in the rapids was really part of the adventure & quite refreshing!

 Leslie Madsen, Denver, CO

 

"We will definitely do another trip with Centennial and will bring more friends next time and request guide Charlie and crew!"

Jerry Solt, Golden, CO

"Thank you for such an amazing experience. I came on this trip because I was feeling overwhelmed and burnt out with my day to day life. I needed something to help me find the inner peace that I lost. This trip is/was well beyond anything I could of dreamed. Well worth the drive from Illinois."
