Highly recommended - Excellent experience. The weather was hot, the water wonderful. Michael, the owner of Adrift Adventures could not have been nicer - friendly, helpful;, accommodating. Our guide was knowledgable, friendly and - most importantly, highly skilled at getting us safely through the rapids. I highly recommend Adrift Adventures and will seek them out again whenever I return to Moab.

Fun day trip on the Colorado in Utah! - This is a great company headquartered in north Moab. They came well-recommended by the B&B we were staying at in town so we booked early with them on Viator. There's a variety of different types of tours you can book both on and off the water. Ie. Jeep tours, rafting, etc. We chose to go rafting as my wife and I usually do one of these trips each Summer. We chose the full day Westwater Canyon trip as it offered a nice mix of liesurely float in the morning, a provided lunch, and Class 3 and 4 rapids in the afternoon. My wife and I had forgotten some rafting essentials so we were pleased to find a very comprehensive shop in the store with everything you'd possibly need plus company merch. After about an 1.5 hour drive, we set out with another group of 8 on two rafts each with its own guide. Our guide, Turner, was experienced, super professional, and full of great stories during the float portion of the trip. Sandwich buffet lunch was good although something didn't agree with my wife's stomach. Turner handled the rapids portion of the trip flawlessly and we all had a huge amount of fun! At this time the water level was low so the Colorado River wasn't running too fast. As a result, the rapids, although fun, we're a bit tame. This was definitely NOT the fault of the company but rather our choice of time of our vacation and the conditions of the water. In order to get to the takeout location, we used a motor which saved a huge amount of time. All-in-all a fun day with beautiful scenery and great service from a good company. Highly recommend this excursion!

An awesome experience with Adrift Adventures and their amazing guides! - My husband and I went on the whitewater tour with Continued Mission July 1-2. It was super fun, and the guides, Q, Wes, Shay, and Turner, were amazing and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable, well-fed, and having an amazing time. Our boat's guide, Q, was knowledgeable and personable. He kept us safe and was an amazing guide! Thanks, Q!

In May I was on a guys trip, and we made the best decision of our trip to drive the four hours to Moab and do the tour. - In May I was on a guys trip, and we made the best decision of our trip to drive the four hours to Moab and do a full day of white water rafting with Adrift Adventures and the greatest guide in the game Claire. Claire handled leading a raft of seven guys as well as anyone could and was both a fun and informative guide along the way, who definitely elevated the overall experience. I speak for our entire group when I say it was the highlight of our trip and one of the best days we had in a while. Would recommend Adrift Adventures (and Claire) to anyone who finds themselves in Utah.
