Tess McEnroe, Trip Leader & Guide
With Tess’s thoughtful, friendly, authentic nature and her ability to create and maintain a fun and positive trip culture it is not surprising she is such a highly requested trip leader. Groups also respect Tess for the vast rafting experience she has gained since 2005. Her charm, work ethic and guiding prowess earned her the opportunity to work and lead tours on some of the top rivers including the Grand Canyon, Middle Fork Salmon and Selway Rivers of Idaho.

Aaron Cavagnolo, Trip Leader & Guide
Aaron has been leading trips for over 25 years on some of the most prestigious rivers in the world. Ten years ago he had the opportunity to work his first custom rafting tour with Robby on the Selway River. The two found they had a common approach of structuring trips around the needs of the group rather than forcing groups into standard trip formats. They also enjoyed the problem solving required to maximize the experience for each unique group and trip. Aaron believes satisfaction comes by running the best tour possible for the group at hand.

Rivers & Oceans Custom Adventure Reviews
Once in a lifetime experience!
I went on a trip with my dad and brother in August, and it was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had. The Rivers & Oceans staff is very experienced, knowledgeable, and made the trip an incredible time! Words can’t describe how beautiful and unique this experience is, and Robby & team made sure we had the most fun possible while staying safe. The food was great, they know how to tailor the trip to each person, and have been on the river so much that they know little details to make it extra special. 10/10 recommend!
Fantastic!!!
Pristine wilderness, exhilarating whitewater, delicious food, wonderful guides, great hikes, rich in wildlife, remote but accessible, the perfect length of trip – I’d heard for years that the Selway was extraordinary, but never dreamed how transcendent and magical this river trip would be! If you’ve read this far – do not delay – this is a unique and rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural world and emerge rejuvenated by beauty, inspired and nourished by days spent in the company of Rivers and Ocean’s skilled, delightful, knowledgeable guides. GO!!!!!!!
