Highly Recommended
I oversee the water operations training and education for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and had the opportunity to work with Noah from Star Valley Raft and Paddle this spring to provide swiftwater and raft training for over 100 staff. Our staff had nothing but positive things to say about working with him. Not only is Noah a consummate professional, but he is also an excellent instructor, friendly, and truly aims to connect with everyone he meets.
Here is some of the feedback I received from our staff: “This was the best training I have had at WDFW”, “Noah was a great instructor and Easy to understand”, “Noah was awesome. He was very professional, a great teacher, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable”, and “The course and had great content, taught by a knowledgeable and personable instructor. One of the best trainings I've attended!”. I look forward to the opportunity of working with them again and highly recommend Star Valley Raft and Paddle for your personal or professional whitewater and swiftwater training needs.
