On a Global Descents river trip you'll experience a lot more than just whitewater. Before hitting the rapids, you might spend time learning about locals' spirituality in Ladakh's Buddhist monasteries or you could visit a cluster of remote Ethiopian villages. Afterward, it's time to rip—this outfitter charges down some of the world's premier stretches of whitewater, including the Futaleufu and Zambezi Rivers

  1. Reviewer: Hi Matt located in Elizabeth Pagano,
    I thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that my mom is singing your praises to business audiences. We've been promoting our new book in Atlanta, Austin, Memphis, Chicago, and Madrid, and she's ending her speeches with a story about how you got down in the boat and gave a pep talk to the women before the last few rapids...and what a difference you made to the women...and what a great example of leadership you are. The audiences love the story. You're a hit! All the best to you, Matt.   
  2. Reviewer: Matt and Harvey located in Jeremy Deem,
    I'm writing to thank you for the expedition of a lifetime! I've
    traveled around the world with numerous outfitters, and I have to say that my Global Descents Zanskar expedition was hands down the most best one that I've participated in. Your professionalism, your fun and flexible personalities, and your ability to handle the most extreme situations amazed me. I look forward to the Zambezi this fall and the Futaleufu next January! Yours truly,
  3. Reviewer: Jane located in Sincerely, Alex ,
    I wanted to take a moment to thank you for such an amazing trip on the Nile. I never though that I would feel so comfortably calm in such huge whitewater. Your calming leadership and focus on safety is unmatched. By the way, my favorite part of the trip was when we flipped the boat in "Silverback"! I'm already thinking about doing a trip with you in Chile this winter. Thanks for memories!
