Join DeRiemer Adventure Kayaking and Momentum River Expeditions for guided hard shell kayaking and instruction on some of our favorite wilderness rivers.  Phil and Mary DeRiemer are nationally recognized Kayaking instructors, recipients of ACA’s Legends of Paddling Award, and have lead groups down some of the world’s best kayaking rivers for over 30 years.

Phil and Mary are known for individualizing their guiding and teaching styles to fit your needs. And they’ll be glad to work with you on your paddling technique, river strategies and playing, or just back you up as you go for a move.  Here is more info on Deriemer Adventure Kayaking >>

While kayakers are working on their skills and enjoying the river Momentum will provide raft support (including raft support for non-kayaker friends), camp support, meals, etc. Like all our trips, our guided DeReimer kayaking trips will feature unparalleled personal service and a handcrafted quality and attention to detail and will be led by some of the finest guides anywhere.

Recent Testimonials

  • "Pete, although I filled out your survey form following our trip, my husband and I want to personally thank you for a great trip. What really made the trip special was lead guide, Andy. He greeted us the moment we stepped out of our car at the put-in and from that point on he provided calm, mature leadership throughout the trip. Andy worked non-stop to make sure the group had everything we needed even when the weather was harsh. You should rest assured that your guests are well taken care of with Andy. We only wish you could do more raft supported kayak trips with your staff and the DeRiemer. And thank you Pete for providing an opportunity for us to explore an absolutely beautiful place in comfort. We appreciate the logistic challenges you face when planning this trip."
  • "In July 2018, my best friend and I joined Momentum and the DeRiemers for a 6 day, 5 night raft supported kayak trip down the Main Salmon River. It was our first time paddling western whitewater and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction! The Momentum Guides and DeRiemer Instructors are top-notch. All were highly skilled on the river and very warm and welcoming. The Momentum guides did an excellent job of setting up comfy camps each night and their cooking can't be beat- seriously, the food was outstanding! An extra thank you to Andy for patiently showing me the basics of fly fishing, it was my first time trying it and a highlight of the trip for me. Rafters and hard boaters, if you are looking to get away from it all without having to deal with the often challenging backcountry logistics this is the way to go. Thank you all for a great week in Idaho!" - Donna Morgan
