A Great Rafting Trip on the Colorado River

5.00What a great time! Our guide, Kai (sp?), was fantastic! That lady is truly amazing! The family that was supposed to go, too, canceled as high winds were forecast, so it ended up being just us and Kai. There was some wind, but you would have never known it the way Kai handled that raft! Beautiful scenery, a fun lunch on a beach and lots of laughs, because Kai was so very pleasant, made for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this company and its tours!

Disappointing float trip with inexperienced guide

2.00Disappointing. We were so excited to go whitewater rafting, but our guide didn't know the river at all, resulting in us hitting multiple rocks, getting stuck, and even moving backwards (!!) at one point. This is also NOT whitewater rafting - there were maybe two rapids in the whole excursion (in the biggest one we hit 2 rocks), so it's really a float trip. Combining that slow pace with someone not strong enough to row, and not having knowledge of the river, made the trip boring and awkward. At one point, when we were stuck, our guide mentioned that other tour companies give the passengers paddles so they can move faster. I wish we had gone with one of those tour companies! Definitely choose another option.

4.00My family of 5 (3 teenagers) had a blast. The water was a bit low which made this pretty "tame" but that's how it goes in August. If you want a bit more try June. Liam (our guide) was great and it was a perfect way to take a break from all of the hiking in the area. The half day was plenty but that may have changed if it was a bit faster/more exciting.

Best Moab experience

5.00If there were more stars to give, I would. The owner, Mike, was the best. When I first called to make our reservation Mike was very informative and helpful. On the day of our trip everything was so easy going, and the trip down the river with our guide Liam was fantastic. I highly recommend this company. Truly a great experience. Thanks Mike and all the Adrift staff for making our Moab vacation a memorable one!
Claire, best guide of all time!

5.00We have done this short, beautiful trip several times and it is always fun. This time we had a great river guide named Claire. She was fun, friendly and full of great stories. She helped fellow boaters feel like friends, steered us through rapids with ease and made us all laugh. She deserves the praise and a raise for a job well done. Thank you, Claire and Adrift adventures for another great Moab experience!
Great family moment
