Red River Adventures! We went white water river rafting and we had Maggie as our guide. She was very helpful and polite. You get to go swimming in some spots if you would like to. You get to make a lot of great memories. Red Water River rafting keeps you occupied for the bus ride. They point out cool things. We had a amazing time, I would definitely do this again! 5/5 stars!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Red River Adventures in Moab! Our guide, Maggie, was exceptional. Her knowledge of the area and enthusiasm made the trip unforgettable. The scenery was breathtaking, and the rafting was both thrilling and enjoyable. Maggie ensured we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey, and her storytelling added a unique touch to the adventure. The whole team was professional and friendly, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Red River Adventure and be sure to ask for Maggie as your guide – you won't be disappointed! Five stars all the way!

Grace was a wonderful guide to our family of four, including our Autistic 9-year-old son, who had a blast in the raft. The heat, van ride in a life jacket and general sensory stimulation of the hot desert had him dysregulated, and they were very understanding. The half-day Fisher Towers tour was a safe and fun intro to rafting for our 6-year-old.

My son and I went on the Bow and Arrow canyoneering adventure and had an outstanding experience! Such beautiful views. Our guide, Cage, was the best. He was super knowledgeable and friendly, with a chill vibe that made for an excellent morning. Our four rappels were each different in terms of height and terrain and were SO worth the hike. I would absolutely book with Red River Adventures again!

We had 6 people in our group and we had a great time! Our guide, Keira, was fantastic! She was friendly, talkative, and super knowledgeable! She made the trip fun! The rapids were simple and the float itself was full of gorgeous views and amazing scenery! I took off one star simply because I think it's pricey for a float that lasts an hour and a half but the trip itself was great!

Highly recommend! We were a group of 5 who went for a half day rafting tour on the Colorado river. There were total of 9 people on the raft including Jonas, big shoutout to him for being a great guide on the tour! It was a thrilling experience, even though the water on the day was timid, the rapids made it worth it. You can make the experience as wild as possible, play some games which might lead to you ending up in the river (life vest is a saviour) and quickly coming back up.

We couldn't have had a better rafting experience. Our guides were both incredibly professional and extremely fun, which made a highlight of our trip to Moab. Even on a 105-degree day, we were comfortable and had a blast. (And now I think my 9-year-old will grow up to become a river guide.) I'm really happy we chose Red River Adventures — and I can't wait to return to try one of your other excursions!

We loved Red River! My boyfriend and I started our trip in Moab & were fortunate to have Cage as our rock climbing guide. It was the perfect morning excursion to try new types of climbing like crack climbing as both of us were used to only climbing in a gym. A week later, at the end of our trip, we came back for a rafting trip and got Cage as our guide again. He was great & gave us awesome recs for future climbs & rafting trips! Thank you Red River, we will definitely be back :)

We did Rock of Ages with Cage as we wanted something a little challenging. What an incredible experience! The rappels were varied in length and style, and the hike through was gorgeous with so many different views. But Cage really made the day special. You can tell he loves his job and cares deeply about the outdoor adventure industry. We are chatty people who share a lot of his interests so it was a great match. Cage’s knowledge of local history, his explanations for what he was doing setting up ropes, and pointing out features of the canyon kept us engaged and excited the entire time. Thank you to Cage for such a great day!

She has great energy yet matched our vibe in the boat. We did the full day trip with lunch which was delicious!
