Professional, well managed, fun! - We were well taken care of in preparation for our March 1/2 day rafting trip. We checked in the day before our trip—-that is key to success. Asking questions about clothing, temperatures, timing, etc was helpful.
They were organized, professional, polite, and fun.
Turner was our guide and he was fantastic. He told us stories both educational and entertaining. He engaged our kids, let them row a few moments, and helped them make memories they will never forget.
Plan to get wet, embrace it even during the colder times, and wear the right gear. Bring another dry layer to pack in their dry bags.
Highly recommended!

Beautiful afternoon for a float! - A beautiful afternoon on the river - we did the "calm" float but had just enough very small rapids to add a little excitement! Our guide, Getty, was great. Lunch was good and gave a nice little break. Scenery, of course, was outstanding!!!! Awesome way to close out our trip to Moab!

Adrift Adventures Review of Rafting Trip - Jacque (Jack) was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the surroundings, ie, mountains, river and wildlife was very informative. He made the trip fun, exciting and educational! Adrift Adventures are very lucky to have him as a guide.
Sincerely,

Claire is the best! - Our large group had 4 guides: Soggy Cheeto, Mustache, a guy who could do flips, and Claire “Adventure” Keller. All of them were great, but Claire stood out as a clear MVP among the other guides. She doesn’t just guide rafts, but leads people on an epic experience packed with fun, laughs, and knowledge! Not even slamming her dome against a mountain can stop Claire from dominating the rapids. Six staples keeping her cranium together would stop the average guide, but Claire is no average guide. With the skill to carve through the rapids and the strength to pull any cheeseburger out of the water, Claire is the best of the best! 10 stars.

Great experience on land and water! - Excellent experience with our guide, Claire, who handled the rapids with ease while keeping us entertained. The process of riding the bus, getting on rafts and returning was simple and well-organized. The water is cold—so an afternoon trip might be more refreshing! We had a great time and highly recommend

Awesome time in Moab - Me and my family spent an amazing moment rafting under the sun of Moab.
John was our guide and he must be the best one we could have - he is funny and really entertaining as he gave us lots of information about the Colorado river and the mountains that surround it. I could not see time passing by in his company!!
Also, if you get the chance, go dive into the river; it may be a bit cold, but who can say that they refreshed themselves in the Colorado river?! you, if you dare to do so.
I would 100% recommend this trip - it will remain a memory engraved in my mind.
